ABSTRACT:
The disclosure herein describes a device for collecting sap from trees which comprises: a first member having a hollow sap-collecting section with one end adapted to be inserted into a cavity formed in the outer layers of a tree to be sapped, and an openable housing section integrally formed at the other end thereof; and a second member with a head section movably mounted in the housing section and a sap-discharging section adapted to be connected to a sap tubing system. The head section is movable between a first position wherein a channel in the head section is in fluid communication with the sap passageway so that sap collected from the tree may be directed to the sap tubing system through the channel, and a second position wherein the passageway is blocked by the head section. A third member partially mounted over the sap-collecting section of the first member may be used to cooperate with an expansible sealing element on the first member to sealingly secure the device into the tree.
