I bought a used Apogee GT off a forum and it came with all the accessories, but it's missing the o-rings. Are they absolutely necessary to ensure a good seal? If I need to get them, is there a good place to buy them? Will a hardware store carry them?

Thanks.

Yes you need the o-rings.

As for the hardware store, you may be better off contacting swiftech and ordering the rings from them so you get the exact size you need.

teflon tape will work also, but I recommend o-rings

That may only work for the barbs, it wont for the ring in the block if thats missing.

Thanks everyone. I went to the local hardware store and found a couple o-rings the right size for 54 cents. Problem solved.
