What can you say this bushing

Does a great job converting lids, bucket lids etc to work with an airlock. It's an airlock and a cheap bucket like Home Depot or others and you have a fermenter. Small batches such as a stone jug or gallon jug. No problem.

Pros
  • is a good thing
Cons
  • Negative is present

Good, but not as good as silicone bushings.

It's okay. You really need to seal or glue them when using an airlock. I have used silicone bushings before but ordered them for the price. The silicone is definitely worth the extra cost and I plan to order more silicone to replace them.

Pros
  • Not cheap, but decent
Cons
  • Nothing

Does not look like silicone

This product does not smell like food. The description says silicone, but silicone doesn't have a strong odor. This product has a strong rubber odor just like cheap EPDM rubber. The description doesn't match. I would not recommend this product for food/beverage applications.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Plastic and unsafe are best in airlocks

Definitely plastic, not silicone. Melts instantly when heated, which silicone does not. It also smells like oil. Whatever it is, it's not food safe and I don't recommend it. Even if you drill a hole the recommended size of the lid, you'll only ruin the lid as they fall through. It's sad how terrible Revain's quality control has become. Be careful.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • No automation

Very strong smell of oil. Do not buy.

I don't care what they say about food safety, the smell is very fishy. It has a very strong oily smell and I'm not taking any chances. It is also very brittle and tears or tears easily. Too simple. I throw these away and order something else. Again, if you're in doubt as to whether it's food safe or not, just smell it.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • 0

Perfect fit, works great

They work great! You drill a hole in the plastic cover and they fit right in. They hold the locks very well. The one I received seems strong enough not to tear. I can smell a faint odor but it doesn't smell like rubber. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't bother me. Maybe it's because of the black paint they use to make these black ones <shrugs>. But they work well for me, so I give them five stars.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old

The price is good but the rubber smells awful

I give it 3 stars because although the rubber seems durable and is of normal thickness there is a noticeable odor that doesn't dissipate , when it is cleaned . For the price at the time of writing ($100 for $6.99), I'd say the Gateway jacks are worth it. For the price, I can live with a weird smell. The 1/2" spade hole is perfect for this hub. Also fits my bubblers I got from Amazon (Twin Bubble Airlock and Carboy Bung (2 pack))

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • It's ok
