I'd say drive over to the CDL store in Castile NY but Bascoms in Vermont is closer!

next time that’s exactly what I’ll do.

You H2O/Leader dealers closer to you than Bascoms. Bascoms is in New Hampshire not Vermont. You have a H2O dealer in Pawlet, VT which isn’t that far. Go onto H20 Inovations website and use dealer locator to find some near you that you can drive to.

I have been using 5/16 spouts and drops on 3/16 lines with tees that are 3/16-5/16-3/16. I also use the Zap Bac spouts and replace the spout, drop and tee every other year. This is year 8 of that setup and was recommended by Cornell Maple. It helps with tap hole sanitation and keeps all drops/spouts (and tooling) the same size as we also have mainline with 5/16 laterals.

Check out Shaver Hill Farm too, they are an H2O distributor. Awesome people

I just checked out the zap bac spouts, had never heard of these before…looks like Bascom and a few others carry them, so I’ll have to try them next season. I have the stubby adapters on their way and looks like ZB makes the spout ends for those, too.

They are out near the Cobleskill area. I went there recently for some glass containers and it was about an hour and 15 minutes from the Charlton area (just west of Ballston Spa).

We use the zap bacs as well. Order them through anyone who deals CDL equipment. They do make stubby adapters too but we just use the spouts. Our cycle is year 1 new drop and white smart spout, year 2 and 3 zap bacs. Year 4 start cycle over again.

Today is the day! We didn’t get anywhere near the snowfall projected, so I’m suiting up for a day in the woods. The only concern is the high wind warning later this afternoon and evening.
