You won't need the accessory hose and it appears the regular mouth is nothing but trouble.✫I'm using a FoodSaver 3620. Similar to the 4000 series but not as large.✫Heres a direct link to the exact jars I bought that worked perfectly with the kit: Ball Half-Gallon Jars, Wide Mouth, Set of 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRFVML3?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf✫I thought I needed the accessory hose which is why I bought the kit over just the wide mouth adapter (which seems to be the only one that works per reviews).✫ At first I thought, "oh no, This doesn't work with my Food saver" since I couldn't figure out how to attach the accessory hose in the kit to the one on my unit. Silly me, I didn't realize that all I needed to do was remove the clear plastic part on my stock hose to expose the little gray nub that fits perfectly in the hole on top of the mason jar sealer.✫ I only have wide mouth jars and for those the wide mouth adapter works perfectly. My lettuce looks just as fresh 1 week in as it did 1 day. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HERE IS THE SECRET! 99+% sealing success. Step-by-step. Easiest with two people but can be done with one. *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2016* This is a GREAT product, IF you know how to use it! Tiny mistakes can make this product not work at all.Canning jars are designed to be heat sealed, and the sealing compound (upper red ring inside lid) softens at boiling point - SO, it is difficult to get a good seal without using heat (only vacuum) unless you know the secrets:WHAT TO KNOW:1. The vacuum jar sealer works by creating a vacuum between the jar sealer's inner softer plastic ring and the lowest outer glass bead/ring below the threads of the glass jar. That strong and airtight connection is not always easy to achieve. SO: Moistening both the upper side of the outer glass ring on the jar, as well as the inner soft plastic (blue on mine) of the jar sealer will help to get a better seal, if needed.2. Though this is an accessory attachment, the overall vacuum that is sensed by the vacuum sealing machine is affected. If there are any abnormalities in your main machine, the attachment will not work. SO: Make sure that the inner seals/gaskets of your main sealer are soft, pliable and completely free of any moisture, debris, dried food or creases. These are the gaskets where you normally seal bags. If they aren't airtight, your jar sealing will not work correctly. Clean them completely off and dry them. Replace gaskets if necessary. They MUST be clean and creating a good strong seal inside the machine.3. The lid adheres to the top of the glass jar only at the moment right when the vacuum process stops. As long as sufficient air has been evacuated from the glass jar, then the air rushing back in is what creates the seal. SO: The cancel button or simply releasing the vacuum motor on the sealing machine both DO NOT create large/fast enough volume of air to make a seal. Actually yanking the plastic tube connector (not the tube itself) out of the top of the jar sealer is the only way to get enough of a rush of air to properly seal. With practice you can do this as one person (one palm holds down the lid of the sealer activating the pump motor, and the thumb and first fingers of that same hand keep vertical downward pressure on the jar sealer), but it is easier and faster with two.STEP BY STEP:a) Remove the metal lid-retaining ring and the lid from jar. Set the metal retaining ring aside. You do not use the ring during vacuum sealing (only afterwards).b) Using a very clean partially damp sponge*, moisten the upper part of the lower outer glass ring (below where the bottom of the metal ring is), all the way around the jar. IMPORTANT! Place the jar directly next to the sealing machine (one hand must hold both when you seal)c) Using the same sponge, moisten all the way around the inside of the softer plastic ring on the inside of the sealer (this will contact the glass ring you just moistened)*d) lightly moisten just the red/sealing outer band on the bottom of the lid*. Tap on its side to remove any excesse) Place lid on jar, then sealer over everything, with hose firmly attached.f) While keeping strong downward vertical pressure with one hand, use the other hand's butt of it's palm to press down on the sealing machine to activate the motor.g) While motor is running, position the motor-actuating hand so that it begins to grab around the top of the sealer and pulls down using thumb and first fingers. You have to do this with one hand, because the other hand (or a helper) will be needed to pull out the hose connector very quickly.h) For a quart glass jar, the motor must run no less than sixty seconds (YMMV)i) After enough time has passed to have evacuated sufficient air from the glass jar. Keep your left hand (if right handed) with simultaneous downward pressure on the sealing machine/motor and downward pressure holding down the jar sealer., with thumb and fingers wrapped around as much as possible to create even downward pressure around the jar. Release your right hand with the motor still runningj) Use your right/dominant hand to firmly grasp the tube connector at the top of the jar sealer. While the motor is running, very quickly yank the tube connector straight up and out of the sealer.k) You can then relax all your muscles. Wiggle up the jar sealer, and if you did everything right, the jar will be sealed, the button on top will be down, and you can screw on the ring tightly to maintain the seal.TIPS:i) *Once you have your technique & confidence down (and your gaskets are clean), you may not need any use of moisture, or maybe only every several jars.ii) If you try a couple of times and you cannot seal, try the SAME lid with a DIFFERENT jar. Small imperfections in the manufacture of the jar (the seam that runs up the sides especially) can make it so that some jars simply cannot be sealed.iii) Heating up your lids in boiling water (remove, then tap to shake off water right before sealing) can help to create a better seal*.iv) If your glass jar does not have the full outer/lower ring below where the end of the metal ring stops, then it cannot use this jar sealer.v) Lid outer sealing areas must have full covering of the red sealing material. Nicks and scratches will not work. Some people swear by new lids, other by pre-dishwasher "relaxed fit" lids - doesn't seem to matter to my technique. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works beautifully *by C***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2019* I bought this jar sealer attachment about 1 year ago. It worked so well and cost so little that I bought several more and started giving them to friends who had vacuum sealers. Im a single guy at age 31 who works 50hrs per week so I would often have fruit and veggies beginning to rot before I had a chance to eat everything. Now, after grocery shopping I rinse and place ALL veggies and fruit in sealed mason jars before placing in the fridge. I am now able to have fresh fruit for weeks without needing to pick out the odd blueberry growing mold or the mushy strawberry. The amount of wasted food has gone done SIGNIFICANTLY.Once I developed a routine of sealing jars each time I used one, I began putting all kinds of stuff in jars just because the act of sealing them became simple and quick. Now I seal stuff like herbs (mint, thyme), tomatoes. I put entire bunches of salad greens in large jars and leftover food in smaller jars. Im beginning to envision my entire fridge subdivided with different sized jars of fresh produce.Pro tips:1.) This setup only works if you keep your vacuum sealer on the counter top with the lid sealing attachment ready to go. Once a jar is opened to get food out, it only takes a few seconds to reseal and place back in the fridge. If the vacuum sealer is in the cupboard you'll be less likely to use it on a daily basis.2.) Its important to tighten your jar rings tight. I had a few suction failures at first but then realized I wasnt tightening the rings enough. Now I have ZERO failures.Summary: You should definitely buy this product. At the low cost of $10 USD, its a no brainer. If you actually train yourself to seal jars EVERY time you use one, you'll save a lot of money and wont have to grocery shop as often.UPDATE: After 2 full years of daily use my sealer still works great. Some foods begin to ferment in the jars and will cause postitive air pressure to occur and you'll loose your seal. However, this doesnt seem to matter because once the food begins fermenting it is now resistant to foreign bacteria and wont spoil. When I see a jar lid bulging from pressure I simply unscrew the ring to release the pressure and go on about my business. I dont bother resealing until I get food out later.Some foods that seem to ferment 100% of the time.. .Black berries: YupRaspberries: YupBlueberries: Yes but not much. They produce almost no c02 gas. However, after about 2 months you can taste a little carbonation from the fermentation process.Garlic cloves: YupTomatoes: YupOranges: NahSalad greens: NopeApples: NopeWild plumbs: Yes and FAST!Peaches: Yessir!I hope this info helps people know what to expect. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/118086664-foodsaver-accessory-hose-for-fm-or-gm-foodsaver-vacuum-sealers](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/118086664-foodsaver-accessory-hose-for-fm-or-gm-foodsaver-vacuum-sealers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
