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.

I am NOT sure about putting this on the hose gaskets, but it shouldn't hurt to try I guess.... On my leaking garden hose fittings I just use Teflon tape. It works the best for hose threads. You can buy the tape at any retail store, a small roll is about $.99 cents.

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.

The company does have a replacement clause in their warranty. Keep your receipt. I wouldn't advise buying this hose at all though.... they fail at the connectors. If you buy two 25 foot hoses, the likelyhood of you having an issue is higher with four connectors that could fail. I had three 50 foot hoses, they were replaced several times, they all failed. I'd advise to buy something else other than this hose. It's a good idea, but not well made.

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.

Lance, I believe this would work with the FoodSaver T03-0006-02P Regular-Mouth Jar Sealer or T03-0023-01 Wide-Mouth Jar Sealer. The MV8000 can draw 25 in Hg, 20 Hg is needed to seal a mason jar. I'm going to purchase a Sinbo DZ-280/2SE bag sealer but I'm told from seller that it will not work with the FS jar sealers. I want to be able to seal mason jars as well as bags and I'm going to use the MV8000 and FS jar sealer to do it. If you look on Youtube there are videos of people using similar hand vac pumps and even a modified bicycle pump to seal jars, if that will work so will this pump.

I used the son seal on a pair of BLACK DIAMOND Gloves(dirt bags).It worked just fine so far,I would definitely recommend it.I seals conditions and waaterproofs.I'll know more at the end of the season.I've done 4 or5 pair of gloves and still have about half a jar left.The important thing is to use the hair dryer to heat the leather and let the wax melt in and seal the leather GOOD LUCK GREG!

There's an attachment that fits into the hole at the top of the jar sealer. The attachment is a 'nozzle' and tubing. If your hand held doesn't have this attachment then I don't think it will work.

Oh, I'm sure there's a warranty, but you'd be dealing with the manufacturer directly, and for something that costs $20, how much time and effort do you want to put into getting them to follow through on the warranty? For me, that is zero time and effort. I went out and bought a "regular" hose for less than the shrinking hose. Lesson learned.

I bought this just to seal mason jars. I just stick the pump over the hole in the mason jar sealer and suck the air out. It works great for a single jar, maybe two. HOWEVER, the battery life on this device STINKS & my wall plug broke in half as I was unplugging it from the outlet - in less than 1 year. Honestly, I'm lucky I didn't get electrocuted. Even without the plug I wouldn't recommend this because of the poor battery life.

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

Your Foodsaver will require a port to install the vacuum hose. It's a small round hole in the top of the Foodsaver. If there is no hole, the vacuum cannot be hooked up. Just as an aside, the Foodsaver jar sealers will work with the small handheld Foodsaver vacuum. I use both every day and have zero problems with them.

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

Hi Pressure lines have Steel Cords weaved into the hose and I would not recommend using just a seal covering to do any more than get me to the next service station, as a fix. The Silicone sealer does work well, for Low Pressure applications though, or keeping water out of a splice etc.

Yes. But be careful with liquids, when using the reusable lid (which will seal mason jar lids): When I sealed a liquid, it sucked up some of the liquid into the hose, and there is no way to remove the hose to clean and dry it (without sending it for repair). Also, no way to fix the retractor on the hose, if you accidently go past the red. this is easy to do, since you have to pull out the cord, in order to get a simple retraction.

Hose works well with no issues. If your jar does not seal, ensure that the foodsaver gasket that seals bags is properly installed as mine kept getting sucked into the foodsaver. This has nothing to do with tube.

Yes it seals mason jars, but you have to buy the attachments for the jars. Basically you put the plastic attachment on the top of the jar with the rubber ringed top, push the button, and when it's done you just remove the plastic top and the top is down tight. I use it all the time. This is a good example: FoodSaver T03-0006-02P Regular-Mouth Jar Sealer
