Does this hose accessory work for sealing mason jars? thanks. Also info here re: product never mentions the lifetime warranty. If verified then it is a rarity.Thank you

The hose will work with an attachment purchased separately, Amazon also sells them in both regular and wide mouth. You can verify the warranty through the company website.

Yes the hose port and hose accessory will seal mason jars as long as you have the jar sealer to put on the jar and attach to the hose. Can't help you with warranty questions, that is a question for the manufacturer. Also that was not a question, it was a statement. By the way, I haven't had to use the warranty. My game saver bronze is still working great.

Sorry I don't know. I would think that you would have to have a special cap. A lifetime warranty would be nice, but I don't know.

The FoodSaver Jar Sealers can be purchased separately. The Jar Sealer fits on your Ball and Kerr Mason jars and works with FoodSaver vacuum sealer systems to store foods and keep them fresh longer. The Jar Sealer is not to be used to replace the canning process and does not replace the lid of the jars. There are two sizes - the http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0006-02P-Regular-Mouth-Jar-Sealer/dp/B0000CFFS6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412352652&sr=8-1&keywords=REGULAR+JAR+SEALER and the http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-T03-0023-01-Wide-Mouth-Jar-Sealer/dp/B00005TN7H/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412352681&sr=8-1&keywords=wide+mouth+jar+sealer. Depending on your jar size that you want to use for food storage, you only require one jar sealer.

I'm sorry Tom, I can't answer the questions you asked. I can tell you that after giving the hose a glowing review I've completely changed my mind. The hose blew a hole near the very end. It supposedly has a life time warranty so I contacted the manufacturer and they never replied. Do yourself a favor and buy a heavy duty hose that costs but lasts......~ c

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..

Yes, insert another lid on top of the one you are using to seal. (Top sides together.) then get out the sealer attachment place it on top of both lids to seal your jar. It works each time.

Yes, it does! I just tested it on a Ball mason jar, and it worked fine: https://twitter.com/alexsaintx/status/431459550689263616

To my knowEdgE YOU can not seal jars. I have this unit and don't see how. It is great for everything else as long S YOU USE THE BAGS.

I am sure there is a way to patch it, but the company has a pretty good warranty and a lifetime warranty against leaks. I haven't had any troubles with leaking yet with moderate use so far.

I like Ball brand wide-mouth and regular size plastic caps for sealing mason jars. I use them to store leftovers in fridge as well as for freezing. They work well and i haven't noticed any leaking. Be sure to allow an inch headspace when freezing foods. They are NOT to be used for water bath or pressure canning.

the regular mouth jar sealer assecessory is separate and is for the smaller jars you can use the same hose with it.. there are hundereds of how to vidios both at foodsaver .com but on youtube just search the net

I used it to seal a leaking skylight on the roof. it is still "soft" after 2 years but I don't see how it could seal a garden hose. the pressure would surely blow its way through

Sorry to say, my first hose by the second day had two small pin hole leaks and that afternoon the hose totally bust near the collers while I was rinsing of the salt water from my boat. After that I thought maybe it was a fluke and I did get the one with the brass fitting, but it lasted 7 days. Like I said there is a warranty, but it's not really free replacement if you have to pay S&H; every time. And besides if it keeps breaking? who in the world wants to keep returing it? It's to bad, because it is a great idea for a hose, just not strong enough with the current materials.

I would recommend using Vaseline on the rubber o-ring. This will help with the seal.

No, it fits on the outside of the jar throat, it works fine on the larger mason jar. I use it but not on liquids, if they have a smaller one get it. Also I found one made by Ball at the Publix Supermarket. Check your local supermarket or a good hardware store for one of them.

I had the exact same problem and is was leaking until I really torqued it down. With the extremely course threads, typical for this connection, it was a matter of maybe a millimeter between sealed and not. We chose not to use it. I may try another, thicker, gasket and try it again but I don't know if that will help or not. I have not encountered this problem with other hoses or connections. I was replacing the same hose and connections that was in good use for about two years and never had this problem before. I was replacing the previous hose because the hose itself just wore out due to high usage. I had the exact same problem and is was leaking until I really torqued it down.

Wow, mine is the same age and may have the same issue! The hose barb on mine developed a crack along the seam in the plastic. I found a new one online right here at Amazon: "Solo 4074654 Sprayer Hose Barb". Expensive for a little plastic part. I wrote to Solo about the issue, but never received a response. This one will be delivered today in fact...

Hi Kathryn. To me, it sounds like the seal in your jar is starting to go bad. I have a Blendtec HP3A that developed a leaky jar. After about six months of normal use the blade stopped spinning smoothly by hand; it felt slightly ratchety but it still blended just fine. Next, it started to leak a very small amount of dark liquid from the bottom of the jar around the shaft. Then, it leaked more. Right after the one year warranty expired, the seal around the shaft smoked and disintegrated while grinding grain. Now the jar is completely unusable. Blendtec pretty much said 'tough luck, would you like to buy our new (even more over-priced) jar with a 4" blade?' I asked if they had improved the seal, but the Blendtec customer rep. didn't know so she gave me the "sonically welded blade with a lifetime warranty" sales pitch. I have been without a blender for almost a year and I'll have to fork out more money for a replacement jar because I did not recognize the first symptoms of a seal failure. So, learn from my mistake and start complaining to Swindletec about their over-priced, disposable jar with its poor quality seal while it is still under warranty.
