Get the most out of your 32oz bkr Big Bottle Sip Kit with this step-by-step setup guide. Learn how to assemble the straw, cap, and sleeve for leak-free hydration anywhere.
Quick answer
Set up your bkr Big Bottle Sip Kit by attaching the silicone straw to the straw cap, screwing it onto your 32oz glass bottle, and adding the silicone sleeve for grip and protection.
Why the Sip Kit Works Differently for a 32oz Bottle
The Big Bottle Sip Kit is designed for the 1L (32oz) bkr glass bottle, which is taller and heavier than smaller sizes. The included straw cap and silicone straw create a sealed drinking system that reduces spills and allows one-handed sipping—ideal for commutes or long workdays.
The silicone sleeve is not just for looks. It provides a non-slip grip on the larger bottle and cushions the glass against minor bumps. Because the 32oz bottle holds more water, the sleeve also helps distribute the weight evenly in your hand.
Step-by-step setup for your Big Bottle Sip Kit
- 1. Wash all components: Hand wash the glass bottle, silicone sleeve, silicone straw, and straw cap with warm soapy water before first use. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid dishwashers for the sleeve and straw cap to preserve the silicone finish.
- 2. Slide the sleeve onto the bottle: Hold the bottle upright and stretch the silicone sleeve over the bottom, then pull it up until it sits evenly around the middle. The sleeve should feel snug but not twisted. If the sleeve feels too tight, wet the inside slightly with water to help it glide.
- 3. Insert the straw into the cap: Push the silicone straw through the straw cap’s opening until the cap sits flush against the straw’s silicone ring. The straw should extend about an inch above the cap. A crooked straw can cause the cap to leak; adjust until the straw is centered.
- 4. Fill the bottle and screw on the cap: Fill the glass bottle with your preferred beverage (cold or room temperature only—no carbonated drinks). Align the threads and twist the straw cap on firmly until it seals. Do not over-tighten; the silicone gasket creates the seal, not brute force.
- 5. Test the seal before carrying: Turn the bottle upside down over a sink for 10 seconds. If you see drips, check that the straw is fully seated in the cap and the cap is threaded on straight. A quick leak test saves you from a wet bag later.
