A spout system for collecting sap from a tree and directing the sap to a sap collecting line. The spout system comprises a spout having a spout portion at a first end thereof adapted to be received in a borehole in a tree trunk for collecting sap therefrom. An outlet at a second end thereof is connected to an adapter. The spout defines a passageway extending between the spout portion and the outlet for sap circulation therethrough. The adapter has at a first end thereof an inlet for being matingly engaged with the spout and in fluid communication with the passageway, a fitting at a second end thereof, the fitting being adapted for being connected to the sap collecting line. The adapter is detachable from the spout and sealable so as to remain connected to the sap collecting line when the spout is disconnected from the sap collecting line.
