[Equipment] F20 elbow connector broken
#1
F20 elbow connector broken
The elbow connecting my mask to the hose is broken. One of the two prongs for the elbow that insert into the mask doresnt snap in. Whats strange is I can't visually see the damage, but if I push the flap in it'll act as though its working & holding securley to my mask. If I'm not pressing it in though it doesn't work, and is only held in on one side by one prong.

My problem is I can't get a new one until monday at the earliest and I cant get any quality sleep with it broken. Is there any temporary solutions to secure the elbow to the mask?  Thank you.

I've forgot one of these elbows when I took my setup once, I taped the hose to the mask and left spaces to vent, you could probably duct tape that side to the mask in strips.

I did try some tape one of these nights but it didnt hold. I'm wondering if I put super in the masks connector area, and hold the elbow while it cures if that'd be a good idea?

That could work, you just want to make sure it's set and you don't inhale the fumes..

I'll try something either some ducktape and more of it, and /or some super glue. Thanks you.

Sure thing, I hope it works-I remember how badly I slept with my taped up tube/mask-yours shouldn't be as bad Smile
