It carries standard 22 mm cuffs at both ends, so it connects to any CPAP device and any mask built to the 22 mm fitting rather than only to a Transcend machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength is the whole decision here. A standard hose is 1.8 m, which is right when the machine sits on a bedside table across from the pillow. At 1.2 m there is a third less hose in the bed, and that changes three things. There is less weight hanging off the mask, so the seal is pulled less when the sleeper turns. There is less loose hose to coil around an arm or drop off the mattress and pull the mask sideways. And there is less tube surface for warm humid air to condense on, so rainout has less opportunity to collect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits a machine that sits close: on a shelf behind the headboard, on a bedside cabinet within arm's reach, or clipped to a hose management arm above the pillow. It also suits travel, where 600 mm of hose saved is real space in a case and the machine is usually on whatever surface is nearest the bed. What it does not suit is a machine on the floor or on a table across the room, where 1.2 m simply will not reach and will tug at the mask all night trying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is flexible rather than ribbed and rigid, which is where the lightweight name comes from and why it tracks movement instead of resisting it. Somnetics also make the AirFlex in a 1.8 m length under catalogue number 503120 for anyone who finds the short hose too short. This hose is supplied new, and weekly cleaning is the maker's guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReferences\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTranscend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSomnetics International\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirFlex lightweight CPAP hose\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCuffs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 mm at both ends\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDevice fit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAny CPAP device using standard 22 mm connections\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLonger version\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirFlex 1.8 m, catalogue number 503120\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.2 m length, a third shorter than a standard hose, so there is less tube in the bed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess weight hanging off the mask, so the seal is pulled less when the sleeper turns over.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess loose hose to coil around an arm, drop off the mattress or drag the mask sideways.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess tube surface for warm humid air to condense on, so rainout has less opportunity to collect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 22 mm cuffs at both ends, fitting any CPAP device and mask built to that connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rather than rigid construction, so the hose tracks movement instead of resisting it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaves 600 mm of packed length against a standard hose, which is real space in a travel case.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits a machine on a headboard shelf, a close bedside cabinet, or a hose management arm above the pillow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #fff3cd; border-left: 5px solid #ffc107; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 0 0 22px; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #856404;\"\u003ePoints to note before ordering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasure the run first.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 1.2 m this hose reaches a machine beside the pillow, not one on the floor or across the room.
