Quick answer: This is the genuine ResMed replacement flip lid seal for the H5i heated humidifier water tub (part 36892). The seal is the silicone gasket that sits in the lid of the water tub and keeps it airtight when closed. A worn, stretched, or damaged seal can cause air leaks, water leaks, or reduced humidification — replacing it restores a proper seal without buying a whole new tub.
What's included
- 1 × ResMed H5i flip lid seal (part 36892)
Water tub, lid, and humidifier not included.
About this part
The H5i water tub has a flip-top lid, and the seal is what makes that lid airtight. It does more work than it looks like: it keeps pressurized air inside the humidifier path, stops water from escaping when the tub is handled, and ensures the humidifier delivers moisture as intended.
Because it's silicone and gets wet, warmed, cleaned, and flexed every single day, the seal is one of the first parts to wear out. Typical signs: the lid feels loose, you notice water seeping, humidification seems weaker than it used to, or the seal looks flattened, stretched, discolored, or torn. Swapping in a fresh seal is a cheap fix compared with replacing the whole tub.

Care & replacement
Clean the seal along with the water tub per the H5i user guide, and let it dry completely before reassembly. Seat it evenly in the lid groove — a seal that isn't fully seated will leak. Inspect it regularly and replace it if it looks flattened, stretched, cracked, torn, or discolored, or if the lid no longer closes snugly.
