My First RatLab: PB Breeze and Twilight NP Interface Hose

tangents · Post by **tangents** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 9:12 am

I was too rough with the interface hose (or it's too cheaply made) of my Twilight NP. It's the smaller hose that goes from the nasal interface to the CPAP hose. Now it has a leak. I have a call in to CPAP.COM, but they're not sure if they can do anything (I've had the thing about 3 weeks).

Has anyone DIY replaced this hose? It's gonna kill me to spend $100 for a new mask.

Thanks for any ideas,
Cathy

The same thing happened to me. I had some wide tape that I used to hold it together. First, I compressed the hose as far as it would go in that area, then taped it. Mine actually hadn't torn, but the tear was imminent. My mask was about 3 weeks old and the problem was in the same area.

I was told by cpap.com that the hose is not sold by itself. A mask should have some kind of warranty. I had operated on it and removed the headgear so I could not claim anything on the warranty.

I wondered about a substitute hose, but it is hard to remove from the other mask parts. I gave up on that since the tape works for now. I am going to buy another mask for backup.

It'll fix anything.

People from the south (like DreamStalker and myself) are taught this from birth.

Looking at the Breeze hose and the Aura, I think they're the same size. You can order just the hose.

Yep, I actually fixed a flat tire with it once ... I know I know, I was dumb a** for not having a spare.

I sprung a leak from the valve-stem and I McGyvered it with duct tape to slow the leak down til I could it to place that could replace it ... was able to drive with it for about 20 miles.
