Where to buy mask parts

Post by DrowsyDan » Mon Jun 11, 2012 3:01 pm

I'm using a REMstar Auto A-Flex with nasal pillows. Headset is marked only "Opus 360". Last night I stretched the hose between the headband & nasal pillow attachment point, which now makes a loud crackling noise as a result. I don't really need to replace the whole thing, just this bit of hose. Anyone know where to get this? It's that clear, thin walled, corrugated tubing, about 5/8" in diameter. Failing the hose, where is the CHEAPEST place to get mask? I can't believe they want ~$140 for one of these plastic POS's! A CHEAP, online source would be great. If anyone lives in the Seattle area where I am & has suggestions, that would be great, too.

TIA

Is this the part you need to replace?

I don't think I can find it anywhere cheaper than this. Free shipping and I think I have used that particular seller in the past without any problems. Name seems familiar and all my EBay purchases have been quite satisfactory.

I use silicone plumber's tape on both ends of my tubing to prevent tears, and in fact used it fix a tear in one and it worked brilliantly!

Thanks for the replies. That Ebay item looks like just what I need, and not too expensive! I would not have thought to look there, thanks for the tip!
