Should I be using lithium or silicone here?


Impossible to say given you dont say how you plan to use it.

There most likely is a rubber O ring in there.


In where ?

And what thickness grade would be best?

I explained fully, but ever let reality get in the way Rod.

It's to lube a 3 way valve shaft that can't be disassembled. It has to cope with hot water, 2 stories of pressure and probably contains a rubber O ring.
