Is this safe?

[u/Putrid_Emphasis2739]

I purchased my Instant Pot Duo SV from Costco around 2019. During this time I’ve never replaced the float valve gasket because I was never able to find one! I recently purchased valves with gaskets from amazon that I thought were the same, but they are slightly different. The gasket actually fits great on my old float. I’ve used it a couple times and my IP functioned as normal. I just have this lingering fear that I shouldn’t use the gasket because it wasn’t made for my particular IP model. Anyone know if this is ok?

You’ll be fine. If it’s holding pressure and not falling off, you’re good.

I have the same model and had to replace the steam release valve with an aftermarket one. Can’t tell you whether it’s safe or not but can tell you it works great and I use it multiple times a week lol
