Screw-On Caps for Water Cooler/Dispenser Plastic Jugs, 48mm Bottle Lids



  • Included: 48mm sized screw-on caps with foam liner, 3-pk; only compatible with plastic water dispenser jugs that have a 48-400 threaded neck finish
  • Note: 1, 2, 3, and 5-gallon water dispenser jugs frequently use either the 48mm or 53mm cap size; please carefully measure the inner diameter of your own caps to determine which cap size to select
  • Dimensions of 48mm sized cap: 48mm (1-7/8 inches) inner diameter, 50mm (2 inches) outer diameter; measurements are taken at the cap’s rim and are approximate
  • Due to product-to-product variations in gallon sized jugs (plastic thickness and product design), it is difficult to determine cap size by measuring the “T” dimension of your jug’s neck; instead, carefully measure your own caps in order to select the correct size
  • Not for use on water dispenser bottles that require snap on caps;Not for use on glass jugs


  • Included: 3 screw-on caps with foam liner. Two different sizes to select from: 48mm or 53mm. Water jug's label will specify which cap size is needed, or measure jug's T Dimension for proper cap size selection. See below for measuring instructions. Compatible with many 3 and 5-gallon plastic water dispenser bottles that require twist on (screw-on) caps.
    Dimensions of 48mm cap: ID: 48mm ( inches), OD: 50mm ( inches). 48mm cap for use on models such as: AquaNation, Crystal Spring, Primo (Walmart, Lowe’s) bottles with twist caps, New Wave Enviro, and Ore International.
    Dimensions of 53mm cap: ID: 53mm ( inches), OD: 55mm ( inches). 53mm cap for use on models such as: American Maid.
    Not for use on water dispenser bottles that require snap on caps, such as: Polar Artic, Nestle PureLife, Primo bottles (ones with snap on caps), Ice River, and Glacier. Not for use on glass jugs.
    To find the T-Dimension, using a caliper or ruler, measure the diameter of the outmost threads at the top of the jug. The resulting millimeter measurement will be the T-Dimension. The size 48mm cap will work for jugs with an 48mm ( inches) T-Dimension, and the size 53mm cap will work for jugs with a 53mm ( inches) T-Dimension.
