You are correct, there is no part# for a gasket. Usually a pipe sealant is used, refer to your picture of the M/M/F run Tee. The female leg of the run tee, to the lower Hx inlet shows excess sealant between Tee and nut. Loxeal a pipe sealant, Loctite a threadlocker, or Teflon pipe tape would work for the connection.
Also be sure to fully seat the retaining valve in the neplax.
It may be easier to invert and remove lower case to gain better access

Hi all,
I completed the replacement of the retaining valve, water leak was stopped by using the pipe sealant.
Now my Oscar works fine, Thanks!!
