In the spec, does it say words to the effect that either R54 RTJ gaskets or R53 RTJ gaskets may be used? Only, it's a bit difficult to see the document from here.

Flange pressure rating for R53 is 900# and R54 is 1,500#.

You decide.

You might not be able to squeeze the R54 gasket enough to seal tightly.
