The threads were fine but the sealing area of the lid was deformed (think the rim of lasagna pasta). The distortion was one sixteenth of an inch between the top and bottom corners, which is approximately the expected compression of the gasket. I haven't even tried to use them. My application requires a good seal when the 55 gallon keg is on its side. My original caps are perfectly correct but they don't have a threaded hole so I wanted to buy these new ones.
