Would like to see how the gasket is positioned before it gets pressed into the cap; that is the reason I came here to watch this video. It was helpful to see the lid being cleaned and the mention of wetting the lid should make this go more smoothly for me next time. I had thought the lid should be as dry as possible to keep it airtight.
Contigo is very similar with the opposite of the flat side of the gasket must go against the rim of the mug or service, the groove side no-go.
The groove side must actually go up away from the mug when the lid is in the tight position.
Also if you notice a leak in😂 any of these mug are thermoses with gaskets, it's quite possible the gasket was peeled from inside the lid as it may have stuck a little bit to the rim just enough to cause it to fall into the drink so to speak.
That's right, look for your gasket at the bottom of the mug!
It's probably there!
I just ordered a replacement wide mouth lid and the gasket has an odd tab that sticks out. Never seen this before. Is this normal?
Making sure it’s wet solved the issue! I kept trying while it’s dry and could never get it on.thanks so much
I’m looking on the website and the gasket looks like it has a tab. Is this the right gasket? Also, I’m fine with the music and clean kitchen, ;-) I just wish the gasket he took out was all moldy and black like mine.
Just curious why every tutorial on how to replace gaskets say to keep the lid wet? Will the gasket not seal properly if dry? Won't the wetness cause mold/mildew? Thanks
Would like to know this answer too. Kleen Kanteen Please reply. If water is between the silicone and the plastic cap, isnt the water trapped inside and could form mold easily?
Yes. Me, too. And how often should we remove the gasket to clean it? And how do we clean it?
Uh as other said, the video doesn't actually show you how to place the gasket.
It's the only reason anyone is watching this gd video lol
is it okay to just remove the silicone gasket and not place them back? or is there any major drawbacks?
Our silicone gaskets help ensure a tight seal between the bottle and cap to help prevent leaking.
We recommend that you use our caps with their silicone gaskets. Hope this information is helpful and if you have any other questions, please email us at original@kleankanteen.com.

Dw y’all I was looking for it too. I assume that means the side opposite of the ribbed side. Tbh I figure as long as the thing closes again it’s fine.
Why do I feel like the guy putting the gasket on took a long time and they had to edit it? I came here to see how it's done after struggling for way too long with mine. This is a terrible instrctional video and I'm almost certain I'll never be able to get it back in. Maybe I'll bring it to my auto mechanic. 😂 I'll make my own #kleankanteen how-to video.
I'm sorry that I had to resort to my rarely used thumb down finger button pressing but this video, from a well known and for many a beloved product company, simply failed to live up to the expected quality in content that you would expect from such a brand name.
Sure the spotless IKEA kitchen setting and bright lighting made for a quality image, but of course in this age any half competent video-shooting DSLR or savvy smartphone could capture a perfect exposure in that scenario; so more needs to be done to win points on marketing.
It's the balancing on the fence of (literal) content VS humour for humours sake where this whole effort started to go sideways. The overly accentuated presentation of, what really amounts to as a "Stick" as if we're being presented with an engagement promise ring, followed by verbal cues to the task of removing a seal but with visuals of a side of a lid with a guy shoving a stick into it, somewhere, jump-cutting to "ohh now the ring is out" - then having the headless creature vigorously straining himself to insert the new ring into place, smacks of pandering to an audience, almost to the point of basically hinting that "if you can't pry out a silicone ring and pop one back in on your own, your an idiot, we're gonna laugh about it, and here's a product we can sell you to "help" you get the job done."
Where's "content"?!
No talk of ring sizes or if/where serial number or model numbers may be printed on the products to make those phone calls go by faster?
No handy cutaways or animations or even basic cutaway images to show visual reference to that recessed lip you mentioned. I'm sure your company has access to some 3D .CAD files from the making of the products you could tap into for a cutaway shot.
If anything, an $18 macro lens for the iPhone could have gotten in close to the ring slipping into the groove.
And just while I'm at it, I'd say cleaning the lid with a Qtip before disinfecting would be more productive... The vinegars not always going to get through all the gunk that could be in there, so it's more useful to remove the gunk before finishing with disinfectant. (Think 'Brush/Floss THEN mouthwash').
Sorry to be so hard on you guys, it's just that your video provided so very little, and won't be saved by fancy dolly shots and nice lighting.

Does not show you how to orientate the gasket. The advantage of a video is to SHOW the process, not talk about the process. There should be a close up shot of the gasket and the inside of the cover to show, beyond a doubt, how it should sit in the cover.
Could stand to eliminate the cutesy "waiting for the part sequence" and the music. Simple, basic how to videos are not music videos. If you had faith in your content you wouldn't feel the need to dress it up. If you were in a classroom would you have music playing? Focus on the subject at hand and stop competing for some non-existent award for production values.
YES!!! EXACTLY!!! I am intelligent and work with my hands all the time, and I CANNOT get the damn gasket on!! I have had 3 other people try!! No one can get it on!!!
@@paula1758 Thanks for your reply, lucky I did not remove it yet. I was just thinking to remove the gasket to clean underneath, I guess the gasket sealed from factory will be tight enough to prevent mold/dirt from forming underneath?
I use denture tabs to kleen ;~) it. I honestly have to replace my caps every couple of years- but I'm also quite anal about keeping it clean in general and use the denture tabs in there every 2-3 days soaking overnight (I break off a small tab and put it in the cap placed upside down on top of the bottle). Then in the morning I rinse out with hot water. I have a few so rotate them as I use these obsessively. I love Kleen Kanteen but this is design issue that I really think needs to be addressed. That tool is pure garbage in my opinion. I think they're even charging for it now which, I think, is ridiculous and bad business practice. Instead it should be provided with the cap or a new ring when it is needed. @@jasonl4237
And if you don't clean the mold will go crazy quite quickly. I'm busy and...a bit lazy. Denture tabs. They're cheap and easy and do most of the work for me. I still wash with soap and water and get a good brush to scrub under the cap every so often.
@@paula1758 Do you mean you leave the silicone gasket ring attached to the plastic cap then use denture tabs to clean/wash with soap and water? When do you remove silicone gasket and could you put back successfully?
