Find CPAP mask connectors, elbows, swivels and short tube assemblies for the specified mask model. Standard mask connections and AirMini connections are different systems. Check the product contents, connector type and compatibility before choosing a replacement.
Identify the connector before replacing it
A mask elbow, swivel, short tube and machine hose perform different jobs. The elbow attaches at the mask; a swivel permits movement at a connection; a short tube is a model-specific assembly; the main hose connects the breathing system to the device. Similar-looking parts can have different locking features and ventilation arrangements.
Start with the full mask name, the machine model and the component you need. Compare the connector photograph and the stated compatibility on the product page. Avoid choosing a part only because its connector appears to have a familiar diameter.

Standard N20 elbow or N20 AirMini connector?
These are separate connection systems. A standard N20 elbow and short tube is not the same product as the N20 connector for AirMini. Check which machine and tube you are using before ordering. AirMini setup packs can also include tubing and humidification components; read the pack contents to see which parts are supplied and whether the mask is excluded.
ResMed documents AirMini-specific mask connections in its AirMini equipment information. Use the selected connector and mask instructions to confirm the whole setup.
Check vents, valves and supplied components
An exhalation vent and an anti-asphyxia valve have specific functions in the intended breathing system. Do not remove, block or substitute them to make an unlisted combination fit. A hospital non-vented connector is not a universal alternative to a home-mask vented elbow.
Check whether the listing supplies an elbow alone, an elbow with short tube, or a complete connector kit. Compare current prices and availability in the product listings. Cleaning and replacement should follow the instructions for the mask and component.

Frequently asked questions
Is a mask elbow the same as a CPAP hose?
No. The elbow attaches at the mask, while the main hose connects the breathing system to the device. Some mask assemblies include their own short tube. Check which component the product supplies.
Can I use a standard N20 elbow with AirMini tubing?
Do not assume the standard N20 elbow and the N20 AirMini connector are interchangeable. AirMini uses a specific connection system. Choose the connector and setup components specified for your mask and machine.
Are mask connectors universal?
No. Mask locking features, vents, valves and tube connections vary by model. Match the exact mask range and intended connection system rather than relying on appearance alone.
Does an AirMini setup pack include the mask?
Check the individual pack contents. The N20 and F20/F30 setup packs listed in this category exclude the complete mask. Components differ between packs.
How can I identify the replacement connector I need?
Find the mask model on its label and note your machine model. Compare the product compatibility and photos, or contact our support team with clear photographs of the mask and the part to replace.
