Quick answer: This is the genuine ResMed detachable swivel (part 16689) for the Ultra Mirage / Mirage Full Face masks — the rotating connector that joins the mask elbow to your CPAP tubing, letting the hose turn freely so you can move and change position without kinking the tube or breaking the seal. This is the swivel only — a simple, low-cost replacement if yours is cracked, worn, or won’t rotate smoothly. Elbow, valve, and mask not included. No prescription required.
What’s included
- 1 × ResMed detachable swivel (part 16689)
Elbow, valve assembly, and mask not included.
About this part
The swivel is the small rotating connector between the mask elbow and the CPAP hose — it’s what lets the tube turn as you move:
- Free rotation — the hose swivels so it follows your movements; you can turn over or change position without the tube tugging the mask or kinking.
- Detachable — easy to connect and disconnect the tubing (e.g. for a bathroom break) without disturbing the whole mask.
- Swivel only — a low-cost fix if the swivel is cracked, worn, or stiff, without replacing the whole elbow/valve assembly.
Compatibility: the ResMed Ultra Mirage Full Face and Mirage Full Face masks.
Note — swivel vs the elbow/valve assembly
Order the right part:
- 16689 (this) — the detachable swivel only.
- 16624 — the valve elbow (elbow + swivel + membrane).
- 16613 — the complete anti-asphyxia valve assembly (elbow retainer, valve frame, membrane, valve elbow, swivel clip, and swivel).
Choose 16689 if you only need the swivel; the larger assemblies if the elbow or valve is worn.
