Help replacing spider gasket - glue or no glue?

[8ightiesfan]

I have a very old Davey multiport valve which needs a new spider gasket. I have the new gasket ready to go in and from a previous inspection of the faulty gasket it was lightly glued in with a black silicone sealant of some sort. I know some gaskets need to be glued in and some don't depending on the brand of valve, but mine is so old I don't know whether I should glue it or not.

Should I just glue it in or install it without glue to start off with to see how it goes?

Cheers!

Thanks for the link, though it also says to glue or not glue depending on what MPV you have. I am not sure whether I should with mine or not as it is so old.

If you found the old gasket lightly glued I would do the same for the new one.

Thanks, I think I will get some Loctite as suggested.
