Hello Larry
sounds like you have all you need , I have found that with a little persuasion the round banjo fitting on the boiler end of the steam line will usually twist off as its just a compression fit (you can also refit later), then I use medical grade silicone tubing (thick walled) & have never had a blow off with the pressures a Jensen S/V can maintain.
PM me if you need further help.
One quick question about the medical grade silicon tubing. Are you talking about 3/16" ID x 5/16" OD or did you get a different size and where did you find it? Thanks.
that's pretty much it Larry, I tried to find the exact stuff I bought  (from Amazon I think) but its been so long ago that I cant find it now, but be sure its says "medical grade" that's the good stuff.
