A 5 gallon bottle cap is an accessory designed to seal large 18.9 L (5-gallon) water jugs, especially those used with water coolers or dispensers. These caps help prevent spills, keep the bottle clean, and maintain the hygienic integrity of your drinking water.

n

Since many 5-gallon bottles come without a durable reusable lid, having a quality cap ensures that your jug stays sealed when not in use, which reduces contamination risk. Moreover, the right cap allows you to attach pumps or dispenser heads securely.
