  • Perfection Honey Gate

    $66.87

    Perfection Honey gate manufactured in France by Thomas Apiculture.  Available in three sizes:  32mm, 40 mm, 50 mm.

    The Perfection Honey Gate used worldwide is a model of French ingenuity and efficiency.  Developed by Thomas Apiculture’s own design team, its unique “drip-cutter” principle allows clean accurate honey filling.  The elbow on the outlet pipe slows down the stream of honey to allow greater control.   The improved leak-proof adjustable spring-loaded cut-off valve will outlast any other gate’s performance.  It cuts off the honey flow cleanly, making jar filling an easy job.  Equipped with an ergonomic handle for easier control of the honey flow.  The 32 and 40mm gates come with seal and nut to fit any extractor, pail or honey tank.  The 50mm is designed to use in your large drum and therefore doesn’t require seal and nut.

    This is the ORIGINAL Perfection Honey-gate manufactured in France:   Don’t be tempted by vastly inferior copies.
