ResMed SlimLine CPAP Tubing 6ft (15 mm) – Lightweight Hose

Introduction

The ResMed SlimLine Tubing offers an upgraded hose experience for CPAP/BiPAP users who value comfort and flexibility. This non-heated, slim profile hose replaces bulkier standard tubing, helping reduce the weight pulling on your CPAP mask and improving seal performance. It is compatible with ResMed machines that accept 15 mm hoses, including S9, AirSense 10 & 11, AirCurve series, and AirStart models.

Features

• Slim, Lightweight Design
  The SlimLine hose is designed with a slimmer and lighter profile compared to traditional hoses. This reduces pull (drag) on your mask, improving comfort and reducing leaks. 

• Standard Connector Ends (22 mm Cuffs)
  Though the inner diameter is 15 mm, it uses standard 22 mm cuff connectors, making it compatible with most CPAP masks and accessories.

• Non-Heated Tube
  The tubing does not have internal heating; helps in simpler maintenance and reduced setup complexity. 

• Latex-Free and Durable Material
  Made without natural rubber latex, safe for sensitive users. Built to flex without easy cracking. 

• Universal Compatibility with Supported Machines
  Works with ResMed S9, AirSense 10, AirSense 11, AirCurve 10 & 11 machines (if device allows a 15 mm, non-heated hose). Not suitable for machines that require exclusively heated hoses or 22 mm only rigid tubing. 

• Ease of Cleaning & Replacement
  Simple to clean with warm mild soap, air dry. Recommended replacement interval around 6-12 months depending on usage. 

Benefits & Use Cases

FAQs

Q1: Will SlimLine tubing work on all ResMed CPAP machines?
Only on those that support a 15 mm, non-heated hose. If your machine requires heated tubing or has only 22 mm rigid hose options, SlimLine may not be compatible.

Q2: How often should I replace the SlimLine hose?
Typically every 6 to 12 months—more often if visible wear, damage, or hygiene concerns.

Q3: Can I use this hose without raising CPAP pressure settings?
Yes. Because inner diameter is maintained and flow resistance is low, you shouldn’t need to adjust therapy settings if the device and hose type are supported.

Q4: Is the SlimLine hose prone to condensation (“rainout”)?
Less so, since it is non-heated. But condensation can still occur if room is cold or setup allows moisture; hose routing and mask seal help mitigate.

Q5: Does this hose reduce mask leaks?
Yes, the lighter, slimmer design reduces drag on the mask, which helps maintain seal and potentially reduces leaks.
