Maple Sap Spile 5 16 Ecolo Spout Maple Syrup Tap 10 Pcs

These new 5/16 tree saver taps can be used with tubing or without, no clamp needed when using hose due to barbs on the taps. Just hang plastic milk jug on the tap to catch the sap or run a hose to bucket or main line. The special design of the tree saver spouts is for quick closing of the hole in the tree after the spout has been removed after syrup season is over. The closing of the hole quickly helps prevent bacteria getting in the tree. Much better than the older style taps that require much bigger holes to be drilled.
