Device and mask not included.
The hose is the least glamorous part of any setup and one of the most consequential: it carries every breath of delivered air, and its condition affects both comfort and performance. Cracks and pinholes cause leaks the device may partly compensate for — at the cost of noise, wasted pressure, and, in ventilation, potentially triggering alarms.
This is a 22 mm hose, the standard adult bore, in the 6 ft length that suits most bedside setups: long enough to turn over freely, short enough not to tangle or drag on the floor. The standard cuffs at each end mean it isn't tied to one manufacturer — it fits CPAP machines, BiLevel devices, and ventilators using standard connections.
Note this is non-heated tubing. Heated tubes (which prevent condensation "rainout" when humidification is used) are device-specific and are a different product.

Wash the tubing weekly in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and hang it to air dry out of direct sunlight — hanging it over a door or shower rail lets water drain out fully. Do not reconnect it until it's completely dry. Inspect it regularly and replace it if you see cracks, tears, cloudiness, or discolouration. Many users replace tubing around every 3 months.
What length is it? 6 ft (approximately 1.8 m).
Will it fit my machine? It uses standard 22 mm connections, which fit CPAP, BiLevel, and ventilator devices from all manufacturers using standard cuffs. Confirm your device doesn't require proprietary tubing (for example, ResMed's AirMini or heated ClimateLineAir tubes).
Is this heated tubing? No — this is standard, non-heated tubing. Heated tubes are device-specific and sold separately.
Can I use it with a ventilator? Yes — it's rated for CPAP and ventilator use with standard connections. Confirm the configuration required by your clinical setup.
How often should I replace it? Many users replace tubing every 3 months, or sooner if it's cracked, torn, cloudy, or discoloured.
Do I need a prescription? No — replacement tubing does not require a prescription.
Can I get it delivered in Brooklyn or shipped nationwide? Yes — Task Supply Corp offers USPS shipping throughout the continental U.S., plus local pickup and delivery in Brooklyn and all five boroughs of New York City.
Use with compatible equipment according to your device's user guide. Replace if damaged.
