Greetings,
I just pulled my old Bender Releaser out of the box. Releaser is all there. But.
There was a jar with a floating ball in it that went in the vacuum line and made sure that no sap would ever get to the vacuum pump.
What are they called? Where can I get one?
I had to change farms due to divorce. Seems I left a piece behind in syrup shack. I'm setting up on new farm.
As someone told me on this site, "You can always get another wife but good stand of sugar maples is hard to come by." :)
Thanks.
Llew

It's a moisture trap. They're easy to make with some PVC fittings and a racquet ball.
