Masontops Pickle Pipes - Small-Mouth Airlock Fermentation Lids, Color-Coded Silicone Waterless Valve

Masontops Pickle Pipes are low-profile, one-way airlock lids that let gases escape from small-mouth mason jar ferments while keeping oxygen and contaminants out.

If you want to ferment vegetables at home without juggling bulky crocks or constantly "burping" jars, these silicone airlock lids are built to simplify the process. They replace standard mason jar lids with a waterless valve that vents CO2 automatically, lowering the risk of pressure buildup and surface spoilage while keeping your ferment contained and tidy. Made of BPA-free, phthalate-free silicone, Pickle Pipes are dishwasher-safe and sized to fit common small-mouth mason jars.

How do Pickle Pipes prevent spoilage during fermentation?

The one-way valve design lets carbon dioxide leave the jar while blocking oxygen and airborne microbes from entering, which helps maintain an anaerobic environment around your ferment. Because the valve is waterless, there’s no need to monitor or refill a liquid airlock.

• One-way vent releases built-up gas automatically
• Blocks oxygen and contaminants to reduce surface mold risk
• Waterless valve eliminates maintenance and evaporation concerns

Can I use Pickle Pipes with different vegetables and recipes?

Yes — these lids work with a wide variety of fermented foods, from sauerkraut and kimchi to pickled carrots, garlic, and more. They’re compatible with the natural pressures that form during lactic-acid fermentation and will handle gentle bubbling without intervention.

• Suitable for cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, garlic, tomatoes
• Works for lacto-fermentation recipes that produce CO2
• Small-mouth fit keeps a tidy seal on standard mason jars

How do I clean and store Pickle Pipes?

Pickle Pipes are made from durable, food-grade silicone, so they clean easily by hand with soap and water or in the dishwasher with your jars. Their slim, low-profile shape takes up little room in cupboards or drawers when not in use.

• Hand-washable or top-rack dishwasher safe
• Low-profile design stacks conveniently for storage
• Made from BPA-free, phthalate-free food-safe silicone

Will these lids fit my jars and are they simple to use?

Masontops designs these to fit standard small-mouth mason jars exactly; installation is as simple as swapping your metal lid for the Pickle Pipe and securing the ring. The single-piece valve removes complexity, so beginners can ferment with confidence.

• Designed for small-mouth mason jars — exact fit guaranteed
• One-piece assembly — no separate parts to lose or reassemble
• Color-coding (red, teal, purple, blue) helps track multiple ferments

They also suit experienced fermenters looking to replace bulky crocks or water-based airlocks with a compact, dishwasher-safe option.
