Quick answer: This is the genuine ResMed replacement quick-release swivel (part 16565) — the rotating connector between your mask elbow and your CPAP tubing. It lets the hose turn freely as you move during the night, and its quick-release action lets you disconnect the tubing without taking the mask off or losing your headgear adjustment. Replacing a stiff, loose, or cracked swivel restores smooth movement and a leak-free connection.
What's included
- 1 × quick-release swivel (part 16565)
Mask, elbow, and tubing not included.
About this part
The swivel is a small part with an outsized effect on comfort. Without it, every time you roll over, the hose twists and pulls the mask out of position — which is how a well-fitted mask starts leaking at 3 a.m. The swivel decouples that movement: the tubing rotates, the mask stays put.
The quick-release function matters too. It lets you disconnect the hose and get out of bed without removing the mask or loosening the headgear — so your fit settings stay exactly where you set them.
Because it's rotated constantly and handled during cleaning, the swivel is a natural wear part. Replace it if rotation feels stiff or gritty, if the connection has gone loose, if you hear air escaping at the joint, or if the plastic is cracked or discoloured.

Frequently asked questions
What does the swivel do? It connects your tubing to the mask elbow and lets the hose rotate freely as you move, so the tubing doesn't pull the mask out of position.
What does "quick-release" mean? You can disconnect the tubing without taking the mask off or undoing your headgear — useful for getting up during the night.
When should I replace it? If rotation is stiff or gritty, the connection is loose, air escapes at the joint, or the plastic is cracked or discoloured.
