I lost the four grey nuts that hold the 1/4 inch hose on the dos unit. Apex sales the whole assembly but I just need four of the grey nuts. Any places I can get just those nuts and not the whole head assembly.

Depending on where you live, find an old school hardware store. Not the big box places, but like the little mom and pop place. They'll have it.
Be me in Southern California, we have a place called McFadden Dale. If you need a left handed nylon fix the thingy nut, they have it..

If you can’t find the compression nuts, cut the nubs of and screw these on with Teflon paste for a tight seal. It will allow you to use standard 1/4” RO tubing with no leaks or loss of siphon issues that many experience with the standard DOS tubing and compression nut. You will need 4.
