If you have a maple tree, you can make maple syrup. This Little Giant Spile is the first step in turning maple sap into maple syrup. It's built tough to stand up to many seasons of use. Durable stainless steel construction with 5/16 in. tap hole for faster tree recovery. Features a washer (11/16 in. diameter) that will hold a sap-collection bag or bucket (bag/bucket not included). Sanitize at season's end in vigorously boiling water.
