TO INSTALL:
1. Make sure the o ring is pushed as far back into the lid groove before putting it on to the pail.
2. Take apart the lid into it’s two components: i) outer ring ii) screw on lid top.
3. Put the outer ring on the pail and push down hard all the way around until it is properly seated. remember this is an airtight seal so if you are trying to put it on to the pail with the two components still together you are fighting air pressure unnecessarily.
4. Now you can easily screw the top on and off the pail.
* If you found this helpful please let Amazon know, thanks.
Great for adding a leakproof sealing lid to any standard 5 gallon pail. Most lids that make a good seal are difficult to remove, the gamma seal lids are simple twist open / close. I found this works with most 3.5 and 7 gallon pails as long as the OD of the lid is 11.75”. The various colours make organizing contents by colour easy. Great for emergency applications where you don’t want to have trouble opening up the lid .

Extra diesen hochpreisigen Deckel für meinen US Gallonen Waschkübel bestellt um damit zumindest einen Kübel Wasser zur SB Box zu transportieren – Stichwort 2 Eimer Waschmethode.
Tja leider erfüllt er sein Hauptfunktion nicht – dicht sein. Das Wasser läuft zwischen Rahmen und fest verschraubtem Deckel aus. Ja, der Rahmen sitzt bombenfest am Kübel. Der Dichtungsring sitzt in der obersten Rille des Deckels. Sobald man den Deckel weit genug neigt läuft das Wasser zwischen Rahmen und Deckel durch..und nicht nur ein paar Tropfen. Ein richtiger feiner Strahl.
Völlig unbrauchbar und tritt lt. Feedback in der Community scheinbar sehr häufig auf. Da tut es jeder einfache 2€ Schnappdeckel auch.

Es un excelente y práctico producto, ideal para almacenar cualquier cosa y no gastar muchísimo dinero en contenedores herméticos. No le di las 5 estrellas ya que sentí que el aro que va en la cubeta el cual asegura la tapa, se puede desprender con cierta facilidad, me hubiera gustado un agarre más sólido y difícil de remover. Intentaremos poner silicón alrededor de la tapa para fijar el aro y que no tengamos ningún riesgo de que este se desprenda. Por todo lo demás es un gran producto.
UPDATE. Luego de ver algunos tutoriales e investigar un poco logré hacer que selle el anillo perfectamente. Es solo cuestión te poner un poco de presión en los lugares correctos.

As a large family, we buy many dry items in bulk. After seeing “gamma lids” recommended online, I bought one and a “Meguiars” 5 gallon bucket to use it with (also available on Amazon). The lid is tricky to install, but there are heaps of YouTube videos to point you in the right direction. I have 3 of these buckets and lids now to store my bulk flour, rice, and diatomaceous earth in. My older kids can easily open them, but the tiny one can’t – so that’s a win! We really like them.

Bought several and in different colors. Black/white/green/orange. All lids screwed on/off equally. Surprising thing is each color fitted the rim differently yet same manufacturer. The ease/difficulty of install remained consistent ifor each color. Most difficult to install rim seal was orange. It was almost impossible as it took multiple attempts to the point of muscle exhaustion. slightly sprained my wrist trying to get the last section of bead to go over rim. In my case it was almost too tight even for a rubber mallet or wood block. When it finally got on the plastic rim had stress marks from the impact force applied. Had to wait overnight before the lid would screw on with ease. Green was easier than orange but similarly difficult. Was completed without mallet. Black and white were the easiest with white the easier of the two. Popped on snuggly by hand with some effort. This I expected as necessary to keep the bugs out. These two I would buy again. Black lid is harder to label due to its color but is likely more UV resistant over the years. Black marker on black lid really isn’t visible so I used a label maker on that color. Labels tend to scrap off easier over time. One caveat is to make sure the excess plastic from molding is removed/sanded out in the groove or the friction fit rubber o ring will be cut apart after a few uses on some lids. Had to hotmelt glue the broken rubber o ring against the lid on one because of this. I used E.Hofmann Plastics 19L/5 Gallon – White Food Approved Buckets from H.D.

Pretty difficult to get on but they ended up going on just fine. However, fast forward 6 months and 2 out of 3 that I ordered have broken. The rings that snap on to the bucket have split open. Not exactly waterproof at all now. Pretty expensive for a product to only last a few months, particularly when it’s designed for long term storage. Huge disappointment.

I’m sure the product is good – I just can’t find a bucket without a ridge to fit the lid: so it’s useless to me!

It’s really hard to install the ring on the bucket. I had to put the bucket up side down and step really hard on the bucket. With my height and weight stepping on the plastic bucket to clip the ring was not reassuring. But once it’s done the lid is really easy to close and open. The lid has a rubber-like seal around it. The product is sturdy and I think will last.
I’m using these to store my 3D printer filaments rolls in a dry environment.
I do recommend this product. Better make sure you have someone to help you clip the ring on the installation.

I’m in love with these.Told anyone who will listen to me about them. lol. It’s such a simple concept, and brings a ton of use to cheap easy to find five gallon buckets. I purchased two. One for dog food, and the other for spare bulk pantry goods. Both work excellent. The dog food, if you’ve ever fed a fish based food, can smell. The gamma keeps it fresh, and the smell out.
Yes, they are initially hard to get on the bucket, I simply opted for the standing-on-top of the bucket method.
I will be buying many more of these – kitchen compost bin a a three gallon, emergency gear in the the truck, food storage in the pantry, and wherever else I can find. They simply add a ton of value to the 5 gallon buckets.
