And more importantly, what O-ring goes inside

Sorry I was unclear. There is an odd sized O-ring that seals the internal piston
 
I wish I could claim English as my second language :cool:

I believe the proper name is the HP seat:
Now you got me curious and since I have a genesis valve needing a rebuild .....

It looks like an 010 on the stem (actually two of them). I think it's a French valve so probably a metric equivalent but 010 should work. 010 is the standard stem oring for most US valves.

There is no oring on the seat. The seat face seals against the crown.

The valve is manufactured by MDE, which is part of the Cavagna group (The three little stars). Genesis slaps their name on it.

The stem takes two BS1806 010 (6,07mm x 1,78mm | 80S).
The packing nut takes a BS1806 015 (14.00mm x 1,78mm | 70S).
The split washer is made from PTFE (6,10mm x 9,10mm x 1,40mm).

The stem and seat combination with the square ends is one of my favorite configurations.

Any valve design that uses an oring on the bonnet nut vs a crush washer is an improvement in my book.
