Important Tips
Water from humidifiers is a great killer of CPAP and Bilevel machines. This part will attach directly to all machines and allow the humidifier or CPAP hose to attach to it. The valve is trouble free and will keep water or added Oxygen out of the machine. Be sure to install the valve directly onto the machine.
"THIS VALVE IS NOT A VERY USEFULL ITEM. I HAVE A CPAP-AUTO A-FLEX MACHINE. THIS VALVE STOPS ITS AUTOMATIC START ONCE WE REMOVE THE FACE MASK. WE HAVE TO START THE MACHINE AGAIN."

"I recently purchased a Goodknight 420s and hooked it up to a passover humidifier that I was using with another cpap. The table fell over and water got into the cpap...I now have no display on a $400 machine. I bought the pressure valve afterwards to protect my older cpap. Now if I can only get my new one repaired and use it. The pressure valve has been wonderful thus far. The rainout I used to experience does not end up in the cpap end of the hose....I feel that I am protected from my previous mishaps as well as rainout. I am a happy customer..."
