Aussie Heated Hose

Post by Pilot_Ron » Fri Dec 21, 2007 8:24 am

Does the hose fit pretty much every machine? I want to order it ahead of time so I have it when I get set up with a machine..

If you buy a Puritan Bennett 420E you will need a different hose, one with an internal pressure sensing tube threaded through it.

My "guess" would be yes. It seems like the same size as standard hose fittings. You can ask or research at http://www.sleepzone.com.au

That's great that you're on top of things! It will make your ride a little smoother. Sounds like you have the right attitude to get started!

Good luck!

The hose fittings are standard size, will work on any machine. However, the power supply may not be compatible. You may have to purchase one that works with the hose. I use a PB 420E, the power supply is compatible, but is not powerful enough to power both the unit and hose, I had to buy a second power supply to drive the hose.

As for the rubber cuff fitting every machine...yes.
