QWORK 5 Gallon Screw Seal Lids for Plastic Bucket, 3 Pack Food-grade Seals Plastic Leak-proof Keep Fresh, Airtight Dry Food Storage Containers Seal Lid With Rubber Gasket, White

I have a project where this lid is placed under pressure from water about 4 feet above and then pumo vacuum pulling water from the bucket. NO other lid i have tried has worked. Gama Seal lids from Lowes, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, AND Wal-Mart have all failed due to mold imperfections that cause problems with the seal on the lid.This one was perfect and had no trouble sealing.

I ordered these lids because I assumed they would be just like the lids I bought in Menards in Gillette, Wyoming in 2015. Those lids locked onto the bucket, making the container airtight moisture tight and handy to use. The lids I received, not so much!!! These lids will not lock onto the bucket without help. I think if you bought some SUPER WEATHERSTRIP CEMENT and sealed the lids with this it would work. That is my plan for these. I ordered two lids from Uline that are made by Gamma Seal Lid for less money than I paid for these POSERS. Live and learn

I'm a packrat & save any 5 gal. containers I can clean well enough to reuse. I have 2 brands of joint compound buckets that are immaculate & these lids don't fit either. The only buckets I could use these with are "Black Jack" elastomeric roof coating buckets. But even getting them fitted properly required a lot of banging with a rubber mallet & a block of wood. I'm glad I only bought 3. My next purchase will be from another seller that isn't selling Asian knockoffs. Maybe a real food grade bucket might work but don't count on these working well on just any bucket.

The Good: the ring adequately grips the lip of a standard paint bucket (5/6/7 gallon).The Bad: The cover uses a single helical thread, which makes it difficult to get started, prone to cross-threading, and requires a lot of turning once correctly engaged.The Ugly: It doesn’t work with inexpensive Home Depot orange buckets, which have non-standard lips, making it entirely HD’s fault.The Bad could be solved by redesigning the product to use multiple (2/3/4) concentric treads.With four threads one need turn the cover only an average of 3/8 turn (135°): 1/8 turn backward to engage the threads, and 1/4 turn forward to tighten the cover.

The casting had a lot of left over stringy plastic crud that prevented the inner top's O-ring sealing. Fixing that, the inner top holds a seal on another outer ruing I have, however I couldn't remove the new outer ring that still leaks. Fortunately there's a Vid that shows how to remove with a spoon - works perfect.Removed, cleaned and reinstalled. Leaks less, but still no good for brewing. I assume some are defective, some may not be. I have other authentic Cary Gamma Lids with a air-lock bubbler installed that work great. Lesson learned. Buy authentic.

I was using there to make easy access to animal feed. After several tries to get it attached to a new 5 gallon bucket I thought I was successful. After one rain, I ha to grow out all the feed in the bucket and water was slowly leaking in. I tried again, on a different new bucket thinking I did something wrong. Same result, ruined animal feed. Only works well for things you don’t mind getting wet.

I bought these to use with food grade buckets to store flour and other baking ingredients. They make it a breeze to open and close the buckets. Tight seal and I like all the color options.

Received the tops for my 5 gal food grade buckets. This makes about 6 that I have purchased. Excellent product. Will buy again.
