Lid seal fit

[K. C.]

I took the seal out of the lid and couldn’t figure out which direction the seal went back into the grove.  My problem, I was able to both fit the ridged edge of the seal into the lid’s grove and close the lid as well as fit the non ridged edge into the  lid’s grove and close the lid.

 

So which way is correct?  Could anyone upload a picture of the seal correctly placed into the lid?

If you place the non ridged edge in the groove it will fall out when you turn the lid back to the lid fitting and closing position. That’s my experience.

Ridged / ribbed end goes in groove. 
 

1.  Be sure lid and groove are dry to avoid the seal Slipping out. It needs to be dry to grIp properly.  
 

2.  Wipe the seal dry as well before trying to put it in 

 

3.  Line the seal up so that the ends are snug to the ends of the grooves. 
 

4.  There are built in “clip catches” that help hold the seal in place. (3 I think)

Snug the middle of the seal in place and work your way out from the centre on both sides 

5.  Drink a bunch of prior brews to reward yourself on the hard effort and celebrate your success with several more.  
 

it’s that easy 🙂

Noting if you make the mistake of starting at step 5, you’re best waiting several hours.   🤣

I always fit the seal while it and the lid seal groove are still wet with sanitizer and it has never fallen out. In fact it is easier to fit when both are wet. The seal only ever falls out when fitted wrong way around.
