The Maple Tapper Ultimate Tubing Kit includes:
- Twenty Tree Saver 5/16” Spiles (taps) Heavy-duty, food-grade, plastic designed for maximum sap flow but easier on the tree. Compared to traditional spiles, Tree Saver Spiles cause 30% to 35% less damage but have the same sap output.
- Twenty 3’ long tubes (droplines) Made to snugly fit the Tree Saver spiles, each length of tubing is BPA-free and flexible. Dark blue coloring is more bacteria resistant than traditional clear tubing; it draws less sunlight, yet still shows the flow of maple sap. With a coupler, these tubes can be attached to longer mainline tubing.
- 50' continuous tubing + 10 dropline connectors Connect each tree to one complete dropline to speed up sap collection every day.
- Three Piece Filter Kit Includes two one-quart prefilters and one 1-quart thick finishing filter. Cone-style, designed for sugarmaking, use for all stages of syrup making to remove niter (sugar sand). Washable and reusable.
