F20 elbow connector broken - JustCauseWhyNot - 07-20-2024
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
