Regular Mouth Lid and Bands for Select Canning / Mason Jars - 48/Pack

Product Details

These regular mouth canning lids and metal bands are designed to seal jars for canning and storage. Prepare the lids by submerging them in simmering water (180 degrees Fahrenheit / 80 degrees Celsius) for 10 minutes to activate the soft sealing compound. When heated during the canning process, the sealing material on the underside of each lid forms a protective barrier to help keep out oxygen and bacteria.

• Pack contains 48 lids and matching bands
• Lids: soft sealing compound; single use for long-term seals
• Bands: metal rings hold lids in place during processing and are reusable; hand wash recommended
• Overall dimensions: top diameter 2 3/4 inches; height 1/8 inch

Usage Tips

• Center each lid on the jar before fastening the band. Finger-tighten the band; after processing, bands often loosen and can be removed for storage.
• Inspect bands for proper threading before use to avoid cross-threading during canning.

Compatibility

Designed for use with select regular mouth canning jars. Verify jar compatibility before large-scale canning.
