question about Tap Pap

Hi everyone, I've been using (and liking) my Tap Pap fr the past couple of nights. Last night I managed to disconnect the short Tap Pap hose from my ClimateLine hose. Is this common? I am still getting used to having the hose behind my head and I know it is a learning thing, but it seems the connection to the CL hose is not secure.

I had the short hose come off the Climateline a bit too easy myself. All I needed to do was cram it in a little further and it stayed put. If that doesn't work for you maybe add a bit of plumbers tape around the end of the Tap Pap hose to make it just a little tighter fit in the Climateline so it won't pull out so easily.
I suppose anything that would stick to the short hose part going into the long hose to make it a little snugger fit would work.
It never happened with the PR S1 heated or regular hose. It was just with the Climateline that it was just a bit loose.

Thanks Pugsy. I will fabricate something.

Tino, I had the same type of problem with my tappap but the other end. The short hose end that attached to the mask kept coming off so I just used plumbers Teflon tape around the mask joint and put the short hose back on and haven't had a problem since. My next problem was the screw end broke off and I had to order a new one from cpap.com. Good thing I had ordered a second tappap mask from them so had a place to steal the spare parts from . Now when the replacement screw comes in I can just put it back on my spare mask... good idea having two of everything these days.
Good luck

I agree Nan, While I only have one Tap Pap, I have three Swifts and as I said, I really like the mask. I will try the plumbers tape trick and see what tonight brings.

I use a Ruby chin strap to which I have sewn a piece of velcro at the top - this holds the hose in place nicely. Not sure that the chin strap is working for it's intended purpose, but it does well at hose control!
