Product overview
The V-Gate is a dedicated vaporizing access point built into a compatible 21mm rim. It is designed to make oxalic acid vaporization application easier, cleaner and more consistent, without needing to alter the brood box itself.
Instead of pushing a vaporizer through timber, the V-Gate uses a metal-on-metal plate design to help reduce wear, maintain better nozzle alignment and reduce nozzle chilling during repeated use.
A large number of beekeepers now use Swedish Cloth strips on top of the brood frames. The 21mm rim gives the correct bee space between the strips and the excluder mesh for maximum efficacy. Beekeepers report they get minimal burr comb on the excluder mesh if they use the cloth strips during the honey flow.
The rims are assembled with 38mm stainless-steel pancake-head screws for maximum strength and longevity.

Why choose V-Gate on an excluder?
Built for acid treatment workflows — a dedicated vaporizing port for oxalic acid vaporizing application.
Great vaporizing placement — applies vaporizing into the cavity above the brood nest for excellent coverage through the brood area.
Ideal with ventilated floors — vaporizing enters from above the colony rather than escaping through bottom vents.
Metal-on-metal design — reduces timber wear from repeated vaporizer entry and helps avoid ovalled-out wooden holes.
Helps prevent nozzle chill — avoids the cooling effect caused by cold, wet wood, allowing more applications before cleaning is required.
Front or side access — choose the position that best suits your hive setup and treatment routine.
