Description

This premium Presto 09985 replacement kit includes both the sealing ring and the overpressure plug for Presto 16, 18 and 23-quart pressure canners. It's made from 100% silicone and built to last up to 5X longer than standard OEM gaskets — over 100 uses.

A tight seal between the lid and body is what lets your canner reach and hold pressure, whether you're sterilizing grain jars, sterilizing media or canning your harvest. When the original ring turns brittle, deformed or stiff, this extended-life replacement gets your Presto sealing like new, with no tools needed.

  • Complete replacement – Covers Presto part #09985 with both the sealing ring and the overpressure plug.
  • Seals like new – Forms a tight, pressure-lock seal around the inner rim of the lid.
  • Easy install – Drops into place with no tools required.

What's included

  • One 100% silicone sealing ring for Presto pressure canners
  • One overpressure plug

How to replace the seal

  1. Cool the canner. Make sure the canner is cool and fully depressurized, then remove the cover.
  2. Remove the old ring. Pull the worn sealing ring out of the groove inside the cover.
  3. Fit the new ring. Press the new ring evenly into the groove all the way around.
  4. Replace the overpressure plug. Remove the old plug and insert the new one into the same opening in the cover.
  5. Check the seal. Close the canner and run a cycle, watching that it comes up to pressure and holds it.

When to replace it: Swap the sealing ring and overpressure plug when the originals become brittle, deformed or inflexible, or when your canner struggles to seal or hold pressure.
