Only thing I could add is to make sure its a seal from Best Gasket

This is by far the best seal on the market. Follow the direction included with the seal exactly and you will not have any problems. Don't deviate from the directions!
I used a lot of feet of this seal material packing valves, piston rods, and pumps on a Stanley Steamer, probably 30 feet of varies sizes, and not one has leaked yet with 500 psi of steam!
