Julian,
For the steampipes I tend to use brass bar and just drill it out. I suppose it depends on how long the pipe is? You could always use ordinary brass tube (or copper even) and silver solder a thicker ferrule on the end that needs to be threaded. I do that for blower stays in boilers.
Most of the usual ME suppliers stock suitable O rings.

I go with John and say solder a piece of bronze bar to the end of the tube, suitably threaded and drilled accordingly. Make it over size, then after silver soldering turn on the tube, collet chuck if you have one, 4-jaw if not.

I generally use GLR Kennions for my Silicon 'O' rings, as they have worked well in the past and also they have a guide against each size for groove width and depth. I have not had any problems... so far. Donald
