<HTML>If you mean the joint between the body and the stem, with the bearings and float shaft, the original gasket was asbestos fiber gasket material. Any flat gasket material meant for steam service should work. The joint at the magnet cap on the end of the stem also uses a flat fiber gasket, but a rather thin one. If the joint surfaces are really clean and smooth, I think soft (annealed) copper gaskets should work.</HTML>
