How long to get Australian heated tube?

Jimm · Post by **Jimm** » Fri Mar 10, 2006 9:29 pm

Thanks to everybody here, I ordered an Australian heated tube last week. About how long does it take to get delivered? I'm anxiously awaiting it's arrival. It's been cold recently and upping the humidifier has resulted in rainout hell.

Also, what adapter tip do I need to get with the RS 273-1776 power adapter? The box says I get one tip included and I want to get the right one. I want to have everything ready when the new tube arrives! Thanks.

Jim, I found this posting. Hopefully, this will answer your question. I hope to obtain an Aussie hose soon, too, so I noted the info for when I needed it. Wishing you success with the end of "rainout"

Thanks for the great information felineperson3! I'd still like to know from someone who has recently received a heated tube how long it took for it took to get delivered. One week? Two weeks? A month? As you can tell, I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas to arrive but I don't know when Christmas is. BTW I'm three weeks into this CPAP thing and this forum has the best information that I have found. Thanks!

It takes a type "m" connector. I am sorry that I cannot tell you how long it takes to get it to the U.S.

Jimm,
Some research brought up this post and I remember reading others before this one so I imagine the turn around time is pretty quick. I would think 2 weeks will probably be your max wait time. I know you're anxious and I will be too when I can order mine. Again, good luck, and keep us posted on how it works out for you.
[quote="Bellcrest"]I just got my heated hose a week ago and I LOVE IT. It has made a great difference to me.

It took about 10 days to get to little old Northern Ontario. Got the adapter at Radio Shack (the source-circuit city) and have been so happy that I did.

Only wish I had one, but I don't yet. Plan to as soon as possible.

But I believe I saw on here that it took from 7 to 11 days from time of order for some to receive it.

I would be anxious too.
