What is the diameter of the straw? I want to know if it will fit in the EcoJarz canning jar lid hole. Thanks!

I do not know it is the size of the standard straw you get at the store. Hope this helps.

Its exactly the same as from the disposable straws you can get at a supermarket. Also the transparent straws at restuarants.

I don't know the diameter, but they are 8.5" long and I would say the diameter is about the size of the colored sipping straws sold in the store. You should have no problem using them for your EcoJarz.

The diameter of the straw is approximately 5/16 of an inch. Hope this helps.

I just measured the length of top while not in use. It measured 4 inches. I don't believe it will work with a jar that large. I love mine. It is over a year old and I have no complaints.

Hello Denise, good questions! These lids are for wide mouth mason jars. Wide mouth lids are aprox 3.5inch diameter. Regular mouth mason lids are smaller then these ones. Regular mouth dimensions are aprox 2.5inch diameter. Does that answer your question? Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

horseface said on November 24, 2014 | Edit Sorry, I hit the wrong button. The rubber ring I have has an IO of 2.25, OD is 2-13/16 and the distance between IO and OD is .25". The rubber ring does stretch around the circumference of the jar (OD of 2-13/16") the part that is about 1/4 high from the horizontal lip of the jar. So it should fit on the lid lip that fits inside the jar. Send me your address and I will send you one.

I have found that the stainless lid fits a wide straw but somewhat snug. The silicon lid fits any straw more easily.

These lids are designed to fit any size jar as long as it is regular and not wide mouth. Hope this helps!

I don't know the diameter but yes the straws fit and I had previously said the lids didn't fit the mason jars, but I was doing it wrong.

I am really not sure. I did find another large container jar at the grocery store and the lid does fit. It is exactly 4-3/4 inches in diameter and a very flimsy aluminum, which is exactly like the original that came with this jar. There's pretty much only one thread. The overlap from start to stop is a total of three fourths the entire running length. I hope this helps.

Original ones have a narrow rectangular opening. "Straw-Tek" ones have the amazing straw-insertion technology of the diamond-shaped opening. I was under the impression that they had switched from the original design to exclusively make the ones with the opening that a plastic straw can fit through but have not confirmed this.

About 7 half-pints fit into the canner well. Have not tried with pint jars, but it sounds like you really want half pints so it should do the job.

I guess that depends on how long a "Standard" drinking straw is. A previous respondent said it was 9". The ones I have are only 7 3/4". But to help you out, the bottle measures 7 1/2" from the base to the top edge without the lid. With the lid, and to the top of the drinking spout, it measures 8 1/2".

I'm curious as to what type of can you are trying to find a lid for, as I'm unfamiliar with a can of that size. I know of 3 pet food can diameters. A 3oz. can (such as Fancy Feast) is approx 2" across; a tall(13oz?) and a 6.5oz can (rare) are approx. 3" across, and a 5.5oz can is a bit under 3" across. These lids fit all of those. Any extra info (brand?) would help me know what you're looking for. The middle-size ring is a bit stiffer than the inner and outer sizes, but once it's been used a bit, it gets much easier to snap on. I use it for all 3 sized cans.

Hi, I wish I could help you with this question, but I purchased one dozen "8oz" jars and they are slightly taller. The diameter of the bottom of the jar I used is about 2.25 inches (approx 5.7cm)

The hole is shaped like a diamond and is 3/8" x 1/4". It would be hard to fit a rigid straw in the hole as it is, but as the other poster mentioned, you could expand the hole relatively easily.
