Overview
This is the unheated tube that links your DreamStation to your mask. Philips made it slim, lightweight and flexible, which gives you more room to move in bed without the hose holding you back.
Philips lists it for every DreamStation, including the DreamStation 2 and DreamStation Go. This is part PR15, a single standard tube with a cuff that slides onto the machine and an end that fits standard masks.
Key features:
- Slim and flexible: Narrower than Philips' 22 mm tube, it bends easily and keeps the weight between your machine and pillow low.
- Slide-on cuff: There's nothing to align at the machine end: the cuff goes over the air outlet and comes off with a simple pull.
- Fits standard masks: Its mask end follows the common connection standard, and Philips describes the tube as fitting on all masks.
- Approved with the humidifier: Philips names this tube as a partner for the DreamStation Heated Humidifier, so you can still use humidification without a heated tube.
- Marked on the cuff: A printed 15 identifies it as the standard tube, while Philips' heated versions are marked 15H or HT15.
- Same length as heated: It runs 183 cm, matching Philips' heated tubing, so you can swap between them without moving your machine.
It suits DreamStation users who sleep without humidification, want a ready spare in the cupboard, or simply prefer a slimmer hose. If your humidifier leaves water in the tube by the morning, the heated version is the step up worth considering.
Note: This tube doesn't heat. If the cuff on your current tube says 15H or HT15, you've been using a heated tube, and this one won't keep the air warm the same way.
How it works
Connecting it
Push the cuff over the air outlet port on your machine or humidifier and attach your mask to the free end. On the original DreamStation or DreamStation Go, open the settings and choose 15 under Tube Type so the pressure is delivered as intended.
Weekly care
Disconnect the tube and submerge it in warm, lightly soapy water (5 mL of mild liquid dish soap to every 3.8 L). Move it around gently so the inside gets washed, rinse it well, and let it dry completely before use. Check for cracks or tears, and replace it every 6 months, as Philips advises.

Philips DreamStation 15 mm Standard Tube$44.00Everything you need to know about the Philips DreamStation 15 mm Standard Tube
Freedom to move in bed
A slimmer hose has less bulk to drag across the pillow when you roll over. Philips built this one for freedom of movement, narrower than its 22 mm tube and flexible enough to move with you as you settle.
A hose that tugs your mask
A stiff or heavy tube can pull on your mask as you turn, which may shift the seal and let air escape. A light, bendable hose tends to pull less, so the mask is more likely to stay where you fitted it.
Simple slide-on connection
With no heating wire inside, the cuff needs no pins or contacts. That keeps it quick to swap, whether you're replacing a worn tube, keeping a spare in the drawer, or packing for a trip.
Slim and light
Philips made this hose lightweight and flexible, which gives you more freedom to change position in bed.
Every DreamStation
Philips lists it for the original DreamStation, the DreamStation 2 and the DreamStation Go travel machine.
Slides straight on
There are no pins or clips to line up, because the cuff slides over the air outlet and comes off with a pull.
Fits your mask
The mask end uses the standard connection size, and Philips says this tube fits on all masks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this tube fit my Philips machine?
Philips lists it for the original DreamStation, DreamStation 2 and DreamStation Go. It isn't listed for System One machines, and it won't warm the air the way a heated tube does.
Should I choose the standard or heated tube?
Choose the standard tube if you sleep without humidification or want a light spare. If water gathers in the hose while the humidifier is on, a heated tube keeps the air warm on its way to your mask.
How do I clean the standard tube?
Philips' DreamStation 2 manual calls for a weekly hand wash in warm, soapy water, with a minute of gentle agitation, a minute of rinsing, and a full air dry. The DreamStation Go manual asks for a daily wash.
How often should I replace this tube?
Philips' manuals for the DreamStation, DreamStation 2 and DreamStation Go all say to replace the tubing every 6 months. Replace it sooner if you notice cracks, tears or punctures.
Do I need to change a machine setting?
On the original DreamStation and DreamStation Go, set Tube Type to 15 when you switch to this tube. Philips says a mismatched setting can make the pressure feel too high or too low.
