I have seen a couple reviews saying that the wide mouth sealer will work fine on regular mouth jars. Has anyone else tried this? *Update* Thank you for all of your helpful answers. I tried another reviewer suggestion of putting any mason jar/lid into...

I would puchase The small mouth lid sealer for small mouth jars,as the wide mouth lid sealer is way too big, unless someone has inserted a thicker rubber seal around the inside of the lid. To be safe I would purchase the correct size lid sealer for small mouth and large mouth. Just remember to pull the vaccuum hose off the jar lid sealer first, then disconnect the hose from the machine itself after vaccuum is established. Otherwise if you remove the hose from the machine first you will lose the vaccuum and get quite frustrated wondering why the lid will not seal. Trust me I've done it! Definately buy the proper size sealer lid even though they are a bit pricey it is worth it in the log run. I find both sizes very handy and work well.

I haven't tried this but my guess would be it will not work. The size difference is to great to form the seal around the jar. If you try it let us know.

This listing is for the Wide Mouth jars only. There is another listing for the Regular Mouth jars. Thank you for your interest, Jack's Country Store

A little more information is needed to understand what you want to do. These rubber rings are used when you use a glass lid (as shown) upon which the jar itself doesn't have threads at the mouth. The small (regular) qt jar is 2 5/8" across the top of the outer side of the mouth, and the wide mouth is 3 1/8" across the same. This would also be used to seal a metal zinc lid. The jars measurements would be the same as above, but of course both sizes would be a threaded mouth. If you're not using those to types of lids you won't be needing these rubber rings. Sorry to say, but if this doesn't answer your question, you'll need to provide more information, upon which I'll attempt to provide you with more. Hope this helps.

All I can say is, if you can put on your jars a small mouth regular pint size jar cap, then it will fit. I had just bought regular size mason jars, not wide mouth. They fit beautifully. They are the same size as a regualar pint size lid.

Yes you will need a wide mouth jar .I was lucky I had one from canning . Phyllis

Yep. I use them on the four, eight and sixteen ounce jars. The only ones that need the wide mouth lids are the 16 oz wide mouth jars.

it is used with the food saver machine.. it's the same as the one for the wide mouth jar only for the smaller mouth jars.. it fits on with the same hose as the wide mouth jar sealer..

I use this on wide mouth quart jars. It works very well. If the 1/2 gallon wide mouth jars use the lids and bans then you shouldn't have a problem

Many mason jars, regardless of the size, have the same size mouth or lid. It just depends if you buy standard or wide mouth mason jars. These lids say they are for regular mouth mason jars, it doesn't specify the size (gallon, quart).

Yes, you will need wide mouth jars because the special lid that comes with the kit fits on a large mouth jar. JN

The lids work very well! As for size, if you bought the jars new the words 'regular' or 'wide mouth' would be on the packaging. You may want to remeasure as a 2" opening is not a size with which I am familiar.

I use wide mouth mason jars with a screw on cap http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AYPU3B2/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 then use a #6 rubber stopper cork that has a hole that fits these airlocks http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BTMWTGG/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It depends on the opening size of your jar. All Mason jar sizes have a standard opening: regular or wide-mouth. Which is yours? This is for a wide-mouth jar. If it is wide-mouth, then yes, it will fit.

Without knowing the dimensions of the Tattler and Weck lids, there isn't any way to know. The sealer appears to be pretty size-specific, both in diameter and in height. The one I have fits wide mouth (~3 1/8") Ball and Mason jar lids just fine but won't fit the standard lids - though there is a different sealer that will fit them but not the wide mouth. I think the Tattler lids will work with any band which would seem to indicate that they would work with the sealer.

Cheryl, I'm not sure. The opening of a standard mason jar is 2 3/8. Your measurement might be a little off. Before you spend the money on these, I would suggest you try the lid of any regular mouth jar. If it fits, you should be good to go. I really do like the lids--used them for a baby shower and several people have asked to borrow them since.

We bought them for a larger jar (at least a quart) but the same style so the neck size may be the same. We found ours to be a bit too large for this style and somewhat too thin, so a different seal may work better.
