Lloyd Burns is an unknown quantity at this point
The SMC gasket with the small protruberences fits nicely in the holes in the manifold and/or the valve body, so they don't slide off onto the floor.

The Festo valve should work if you've wired just the "plug" part correctly. Connect the wired plug to the valve, and check with an ohmeter for continuity from the wires through the coil. There are only three connections available, and one the non parallel blade, is a "ground". If you don't like the little pilot lights, don't use 'em: the valve operates the same, either way.
