[lmathews]

hi everyone,
i would like to know if any of you could tell me if the ipl 19/64 tap will fit the leader cup tee or is it to loose being the leader tree saver tap is 5/16 and matches up with the leader cup tee?
thank mnyou lee

yes they should, most 19/64 or 5/16 spouts and tees are inner change able with each other.

Yes it will. I use IPL taps with lamb #4739 tee and the tap fits in nicely for the off season.

That's good to know as I might eventually switch all my spouts over to the stainless. :D

Brandon,
I don't know about the stainless ones. The best thing to do is test what you want to use before installing anything.

Keith,

I agree with you. I am going to order a couple this spring and try them just to see! :D

Brandon, About the stainless spiles. I bought 1500 last year and they are great. The one issue I have with some of them is the inside diameter of some of them varies a bit and a few of them won't even work with the IPL tees!
Hopefully they have tightened up the tolerances now that they are in full production. I do think these spiles give me more sap than the plastic health spouts, the metal transfers heat up into the taphole to get them running faster in the morning and then the shiny stainless reflects the sun in the afternoon and stays cool. For two seasons now these have been the last taps still running at the end of the season.

Sure is great to hear that. I won't invest in but a couple this year, but will try to gradually go to them in the future possibly. :D
