I wish they would have answered. My 3/4's are 300 feet long. I have around 80 taps on each. THe rule of thumb used to be "strive for five", meaning 5 taps per latteral but no more than 10. I am seeing many people putting only 1,2, or a maximum of 3 taps on a latteral, and keeping the latterals very short, like 10,15 feet. IDK how many taps are reccomended for 3/4, but I do know you want few enough so there is only a tiney bit of sap in the bottom of the main so there is plenty of room for vacuum to travel to the taphole. Ive been modifying my own tubing by trial and error for 20 years. I have 15 acres, and currently 1100 taps. The cost per tap can get expensive because a saddle costs $3, and 3/4 is $120 for a 300 foot roll, but if we can maintain over 25" at the taphole, we can make a half gallon of syrup per tap. and to get the vacuum to the taphole we have to minimize taps on latterals, and on the mains

500 on 3/4
