Masontops Pickle Pipes wide-mouth mason jar fermentation lids — waterless silicone airlock, one-way valve for sauerkraut & pickles

Masontops Pickle Pipes are low-profile, waterless silicone airlock lids that let wide-mouth mason jars vent fermentation gases automatically without burping or added water.

These one-piece fermentation lids convert standard wide-mouth mason jars into reliable fermenting vessels for sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi and other vegetable ferments. Designed to release carbon dioxide while blocking outside oxygen, the Pickle Pipes remove the need for repeated manual burping and the risk of overflow or contamination associated with traditional water-filled airlocks.

How do these lids control pressure during fermentation?

The Pickle Pipes use a one-way valve that lets expanding gases escape and prevents air from entering the jar. Because the valve operates without water, it requires no setup or monitoring and reduces mess from bubbling brine.

• One-way silicone valve vents CO2 and keeps oxygen out
• Waterless design eliminates the need to refill water chambers
• Low-profile lid reduces the chance of popped seals or overflowing

Will they fit my jars and how do I install them?

Pickle Pipes are made to work with standard wide-mouth mason jars and thread into a compatible metal band or cap. Installation is quick: place the silicone lid in the jar opening and secure with the jar’s ring so the valve sits centered.

• Compatible with wide-mouth mason jars (use your existing jar rings)
• Push-in silicone fits snugly and seals with the jar band
• No special tools required—ready to use immediately

How do I clean and store the Pickle Pipes?

The silicone construction is durable and safe for dishwasher cleaning, making upkeep simple. When not in use, their slim profile makes them easy to stack and store in a drawer or cupboard alongside jars.

• Dishwasher-safe silicone—top-rack recommended for longevity
• BPA- and phthalate-free materials for food safety
• Compact shape allows convenient nesting and cupboard storage

What types of ferments can I make with them?

These lids are suitable for a wide range of vegetable ferments and short-term lacto-fermentation projects. They’re ideal for small-batch sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi, and other brined vegetables where controlled venting matters.

• Suitable for cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, garlic and more
• Works well for both salt-brined and dry-salt ferments
• Ideal for countertop or refrigerator fermentation projects

Who is this for?

Masontops Pickle Pipes are for home fermenters who want a cleaner, lower-maintenance way to handle pressure in wide-mouth mason jar ferments. They benefit beginners who prefer a hassle-free setup and experienced makers who want a compact, reliable waterless airlock for everyday vegetable fermentation.
