Learn how to correctly install and use a splash-proof lid on your 30oz tumbler to minimize spills. This guide covers fitting, sealing, and daily use tips.
Quick answer
Press the splash-proof lid firmly into your 30oz tumbler with the flip top open, then close it to create a splash-resistant seal. This prevents leaks during movement.
Why the lid needs the flip open to install
The splash-proof lid is designed to be pressed in with the flip top open so air can escape, allowing the silicone gasket to seat fully against the rim. Installing it with the flip closed can trap air, preventing a tight seal and leading to drips.
When to expect some moisture
Even with a perfect seal, this is a splash-proof lid, not a leak-proof one. If you invert the tumbler or shake it vigorously, some liquid may escape through the drinking spout. For best results, use it for everyday commutes or desk work, not for tossing in a bag.
Steps to install and use your splash-proof lid
- 1. Open the flip top: Flip the drinking spout open before you place the lid on the tumbler. This allows air to escape as you press down. Never install the lid with the flip closed.
- 2. Align and press firmly: Line up the lid with the rim of your 30oz tumbler. Press down evenly around the entire edge until you feel it snap into place. A good seal is firm and even. If the lid feels loose, remove it and try again, ensuring the flip is open.
- 3. Close the flip top for travel: Snap the flip top closed. You should hear or feel a click. The lid is now splash-resistant and ready for use. To drink, flip it open and sip through the opening. Always close the flip top before moving the tumbler to prevent spills.
- 4. Clean after each use: Remove the lid and wash it on the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand with warm soapy water. This prevents residue buildup that can affect the seal. A clean gasket seals better and lasts longer.
