I'm finally adding a ball valve to my boil kettle using basically the list of components put together by Fly Guy for the DIY cooler MLT. I'm having issues sourcing high temp o-rings. I was able to find regular garden hose gaskets which are working great on my MLT but my kettle will be at much higher temps. I am worried that the softer material will become too malleable at the boil temps.
My questions: does anyone use a standard garden hose-like o-ring on their boil kettle ball valves and if so, have they ever had any issues with leaks during the boil?
Thanks!
