No mating surface like big gate valves

This valve has reached the end of its life and was leaking underneath where it's now covered in black RTV silicon. As said, the problem in replacing it is that it appears to have a 1" thread on the radiator outlet which must have been common when I fitted it 15 years ago. This size fitting no longer seems to be available unless someone knows better?

When doing 6"- 18" gate valves there was a gasket, how do these seal then?

Thanks snowhead, understand the taper there, meant under the nut ie usually expect olive or O ring.
