The ram comprises an L-shaped bottom retainer plate, an L-shaped seal element and a top retainer plate having an L-shaped inner surface. The front portions of the inner surfaces of the retainer plates are parallel and acutely angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the ram bore. Thus the top retainer plate is tapered rearwardly. The seal element protrudes forwardly of the retainer plate which, in turn, protrudes forwardly of the bottom retainer plate. When the rams close, the top retainer plates are driven rearwardly and act as wedges to compress the seal elements both downwardly and rearwardly. The L-shaped design also leads to minimization of canting of the plates. A groove is provided, extending longitudinally along the base of the bottom retainer plate, for draining steam condensate from behind the ram.
