Ya have to buy the stopper. I never heard of a gasket you can replace it with.

No I would contact Vitamix and they are good for telling what needs to be done. Sounds like the seal. Sorry

there is a seal, but it gets unstuck sometimes during the delivery probably because of all the shaking....the seal is probably stuck to the bottom of the cap...should be fine

This is the batch one so I have to put the stopper in place. It is a safety mechanism. You can get one that uses a switch too if you prefer.

When I got (a larger bottle tho) mine it came with a protective seal. Maybe email the distributor and ask them why there isn't one? Hope this helps!

Hello,Elaine my dear. You could contact the mfgr.,or do what I did. I lived in Ms.when I gpt mine,and used it almost daily walking to my spot on this pretty creek. I called it Eden,it was so beautiful! (Got bit by a water moccosin there too-there are snakes in Eden)! Anyway,I about wore the tip out,so I went to Wal-Mart and bought a rubber Stryker tip for a crutch. (Cane size is too small). Then I filled it with Permatex Ultra-Blue gasket maker-waterproof-and let it set over night. Still have that same tip on it,three years later. Oh,the little deal that keeps it from sinking in? Leave it on. Hope this helps you,Elaine. Thanks for letting me help you. Steve

Mine has a rubber gasket. Not sure why you would need silicone unless they forgot the gasket.

There is a little slit in the silicone stopper. I have to squeeze it open before each time I put the cap on. There is a sweet spot between too tight and too loose when the lid screws on also. I think because air needs to flow between the silicone and the cap itself for the liquid to come through.

My relative, who works in manufacturing of similar items, has told me that the airtight silicone seals are meant to stay in place. Apparently, higher temperatures can affect the effectiveness, and the silicone ring may start falling out of place. I would contact the manufacturer to see if they will send you a replacement, might be easier than returning to a merchant, especially if it has been some time. http://progressiveintl.com/contact

I have this same vacuum jar I bought from someplace else. I lost the gasket, called PMI, they were very helpful, so helpful in fact they sent me 2 free gaskets. They asked me for some numbers found on the bottom on the container.Example:CUP - SS04HANDLE - RH98STOPPER - RS45

Yes, a clear silicone seal; however the seal started to bubble just like the others after about a year. these seals are just substandard products. I think that they should call it China standard instead of the great American standard............I am going to buy three more seals only from an American manufacturer, it should be resistant to the hard water (Keeney K831-3 3-Inch Replacement Silicone Flapper Seal, Clear)

Try checking out this youtube link regarding replacing the seal. It should help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_ePvpfAkAc

Just FYI, when tightening the cap, it does not require heavy pressure to seal completely. If you go overboard and screw it down with all your might in the belief it's getting a better seal, it may distort the silicone seal and cause problems. There should be no reason the seal wouldn't outlast the bottle with reasonable handling. If you want to see just how well it seals, fill it up, screw it down just a bit past the initial contact, and shake it as hard as you can muster to see if you can get it to lose a drop. I've even done it with boiling water and it held the pressure with no problems. Pressing the release had the lid pop open, showing how much pressure it was able to hold without any trace of leakage.

The is no seal gasket as such. When you install this unit in the hole in the bottom of the tank and use the wrench that comes with it the rubber expands and makes the seal. Hope this helps.

You may be searching for the product called 'Repair Rescue Sealed Ends'. Thanks!

Pampered Chef has a great can opener that just breaks the seal. You can probably go on line and find out where you can find a dealer. I have this opener and love it.
