I like the idea that with the stainless at the end of the season they can be properly cleaned and sanitized and used year after year.
We tried 5 of these spouts with sap sack holders for the 2014 season and we liked them so we replaced all of our 7/16 aluminum spouts for this season. We paid $1.60 each from Andersons Maples Syrup.
