Stainless Steel Taps - Maple Sap Pail Spout & Hook - Spiles for making Maple Syrup (5)

First time tapping my trees, I got one leaker, but the spile was fully set. The other spile only went in halfway and is the primary tap/ Nice product, would definitely recommend.

After raking leaves from my maple trees every fall, I finally decided to get something in return from them. I bought these a month ago and this past weekend I finally tapped my trees. I used a 1/4 drill bit and drilled into the trees just a little deeper than the tree-side of the taps. For each tap I ran a plastic tube into a cleaned-out 1-5 liter orange juice container. (Drill a hole into the lid to fit the tube.) I came home from work yesterday to about two quarts of sap. Ill continue collecting throughout the week and will boil down into syrup this weekend. Assuming a 40:1 ratio of sap to syrup, Ill get about 8 ounces....a small amount, but satisfying to know that I have created maple syrup on my own. Next year Ill tap at a more optimum time in the season to increase the yield.

Way to small

They work like theyre supposed to

These worked great for collecting syrup. They even work with tubing.

Bought for my husband for maple sap. He thought they were great. Very sturdy and easy to use.

one of the washers didnt fit. otherwise very good quality. and it took them over 10 days to ship it! i had to contact the seller, and received no apology.

Found this package

Worked great for my first try. Super surprised to see how easy it was to make maple syrup from afew trees in my yard. Only tapped 4 trees and I had a late start on the season and I still ended up with a gallon and a half of maple syrup!

Sturdy taps and install easily
