Gamma Seal Lid, 12 Inch, Set of 3

This remarkably practical two-part gadget transforms a standard plastic bucket into a rugged, gasketed, resealable storage container that's both air-tight. Just snap the outer ring down onto your bucket. The threaded lid turns easily with molded-in grip bars. These lids are heavy duty for years and years of service. The ring has a polymer gasket where it sits against the lid of your bucket, and the threaded lid has another polymer gasket, giving the container an air-tight seal that excludes not only such freeloaders as mice and insects, but moisture too.

The Gamma Seal lid transforms an ordinary bucket into the ideal storage vault for an endless list of materials from grain and other foods to laundry products, pet food, tools, documents, silk ties, lawn and garden products, bait, seeds, oil, disaster supplies... and on and on. They also make lightweight, super-strong totes for camping gear. And did we mention that they're stackable? Our customers come back for more of these. (Make your life easier by ordering a few more the first time!)

All Gamma Lid plastics are food safe, including "heavy-metal-free" pigment in the colored lids, and all Gamma products are BPA-free. Gamma Seal lids do not include the bucket. Please note that color tint of plastic buckets can vary, so Gamma Lid colors may not perfectly match with the color of any given plastic buckets.

These 12" Gamma Seal lids fit 3-1/2 gallon or 5 gallon or 6 gallon buckets with standard top outside diameter of 11-3/4" to 12-1/8". If you want to use Gamma Seal Lids on buckets you already have, be sure your bucket tops have an outside diameter that falls within that range. (The buckets offered by Pleasant Hill Grain all have the proper top diameters to accept their respective size of Gamma Seal Lid.)

To install we recommend a large rubber mallet, or lay a 2x4 across the lid and strike with any heavy hammer. If a lid ring doesn't want to start on a bucket easily, submerging the ring or bucket rim (or both) in hot water will ease the connection.

Lids are sold in sets of three of each color. Colors include white, black, green, yellow, red, blue, and orange.

Note: If using oxygen absorbers in plastic buckets, you need to use standard hammer-on lids (not Gamma Lids). Gamma Lids are airtight, but are not designed to counteract the force of pressure that's created when all of the oxygen in the container is removed by oxygen absorbers. Once the standard lid is initially removed to start using the contents, a Gamma Lid can be used to re-seal the bucket against moisture, rodents and insects. A quality bucket and hammer-on gasketed lid will provide a fully adequate oxygen barrier for at least a couple years of storage. For even longer term oxygen-free storage, inside your buckets you can also use Mylar liner bags which, when heat-sealed shut around your food, will effectively block oxygen permeation for years and years.

Bucket Lid Wrench

Don't be afraid of the plastic construction of this handy lid removal tool. We've used them for years here at PHG. They work great and we've never had one break.

Overall length of the tool is 8.25".

Note: Some bucket lids have several points around their lower lip that must be snipped with a cutting tool prior to removal. No matter what sort of tool you use to pry the lid off, if you're working with that sort of lid then it is indeed necessary to snip the lid at those points, first. Such "snip points" vary in appearance and may or may not be marked with words like "Cut Here" or with a scissors symbol. Another type of lid has a circumferential "tear strip" around its bottom edge. With such lids you may not need a lid removal wrench to use after pulling the tear-strip away, but one can be helpful to those with hand weakness due to arthritis or other reasons.

Snappy Grip Handle, Set of 3

An overdue idea! Snappy Grips replace missing bucket handles. Their 1" diameter and finger-grip contoured shape make them so comfortable you'll find yourself removing NEW handles to install Snappy Grips on buckets used for heavy loads. The two halves of each Snappy Grip handle are identical to each other. To install, just position them over the bucket's wire handle so that the tabs of each handle-half fit into the slots of the other half, and squeeze together.

Available in: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, white or black. Each color is sold in a set of thee.

Norpro Heavy Duty Scoop

Great bucket
By Laura E. in MT on 12/15/2018 Verified Buyer

This bucket is just what I wanted. They don't quite fit a 50# bag of wheat berries, but it's close so what didn't fit will get used pretty quickly. I recommend, especially with the Gamma Lid, sold separately but also sold by Pleasant Hill Grain.

Great 6 gal buckets
By David W. in TX on 1/29/2021 Verified Buyer

I ordered ten 6 gal white food grade bucket with the screw on lids. Received them quickly. Used them all and ordered ten more. These are still good quality. They have not cheapened these buckets at the time I am writing this review. With 20 buckets, how could I need more but I do. I will be buying some more soon. The vacca is not our only hope, Jesus is our only Hope.

Better than the ones on Amazon
By David W. in TX on 3/20/2019 Verified Buyer

I purchased five buckets from Amazon and six from Pleasant Hill Grain. Pleasant Hill's buckets are thicker and the lids fit tighter. When snapped on, the Amazon bucket lids still wiggle and squeak when pushed on. I will be buying my future buckets from PHG.

The best!
By Richard E. in MA on 8/04/2020 Verified Buyer

Best storage system around. Had beans stored in one that were vacuum packed keep in a unheated, no A/C shed with summer temps in the 80's that were still fertile. For almost 2 years!!

Just what I needed
By Mills on 7/14/2020 Verified Buyer

Two of these buckets fit a 50 lb. of flour. The delivery was speedy and came in good condition. I would purchase these again.

It's a bucket!
By Erin N. in MD on 6/01/2020 Verified Buyer

Exactly as described: a white bucket. Popped the Gamma rim and lid on it and now it houses my flour. I would buy it again, and have already thought about buying more for other food storage.

Fantastic Bucket
By Taia in CA on 4/24/2020 Verified Buyer

Just received our 6 gallon buckets and Gamma lids and they're much nicer than I expected. We're using them for storing grains, legumes, and dog food. They're made in the USA! Highly recommend these products. Thanks to Pleasant Hill also for getting them to us so quickly. You are a great company and very much appreciated! Thank you!

Better bucket
By GREG R. in OR on 8/29/2019 Verified Buyer

These buckets are thicker and opaque when compared to other white buckets that you might find elsewhere. The larger size is needed for bulk grain purchases.
