Of course, any such thing will prevent a heated hoe from functioning as a heated hose.

Just got the ResMed connector hose and it is a perfect fit for my setup.

Thanks BDZ and everyone else who posted.

Decided to do the same! The original tube is a bit too much. Still using the HC150 plus my unit's humidifier. Glad it worked.

People using the second humidifier inline (like the OP in this thread) have already given up the integrated heated hose available from ResMed or Respironics but nothing is stopping them from using a stand alone heated hose (like the Hybernite) at the mask end of the second humidifier.
So a heated hose doesn't have to be given up when using the second humidifier...a person just has to use a stand alone heated hose instead of the integrated heated hose plugged into the humidifier.

That Hybernight really produces heat too. I am one of the unusual ones who need both mega humidity and heat to appease my sinuses.

While I am very happy with my HC150 in line with the PR heated humidifier, it did mean that I had to switch from the PR heated hose and adding a Hybernite hose.

However, I am working slowly on an extension cord to connect between the heated humidifier and the heated hose.
I'll post if and when it works.
