Philips Respironics PR-15 Tube โ Overview
The Philips Respironics PR-15 is the standard 15mm non-heated replacement tube for DreamStation and DreamStation 2 CPAP and BiPAP machines โ the tube that ships with every new DreamStation machine and the most straightforward replacement when it's time for a new hose. At 15mm inner diameter, it is lighter and more flexible than a standard 19mm hose, reducing the drag on the mask that causes seal disruption during sleep and making the overall sleeping setup feel less encumbered by tubing.
The 22mm cuff ends are standard and connect to all CPAP masks from all manufacturers, as well as to the DreamStation machine's 22mm outlet. Unlike the HT-15 heated tube, the PR-15 has no electrical connection and requires no humidifier to use โ it is purely a mechanical air conduit. This makes it suitable for patients who don't use humidification, who use the machine while travelling without distilled water, or who simply want a reliable, uncomplicated replacement tube at a lower cost than the heated option.
If you use the DreamStation's heated humidifier and experience rainout โ condensation forming inside the tube and dripping into the mask โ the PR-15 non-heated tube is the contributing factor and the HT-15 heated tube is the appropriate upgrade. For use without the humidifier or in warm, humid climates where rainout is not an issue, the PR-15 is the practical everyday choice. 6ft long, grey, smooth bore design for quiet airflow. Replace every 3โ6 months. Hand wash weekly.

๐ก When to upgrade to the HT-15: If you use the DreamStation heated humidifier and experience rainout (water dripping into your mask from inside the tube), switch to the HT-15 heated tube โ it eliminates rainout by maintaining tube temperature throughout the night. The PR-15 is the right choice for humidifier-free use or in warm climates where rainout is not an issue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the PR-15 and the HT-15?
The PR-15 is a non-heated standard tube. The HT-15 is the same 15mm diameter but contains a heating element โ it connects to the DreamStation's heated humidifier and maintains tube temperature to prevent rainout. If you experience condensation in the tube, upgrade to the HT-15.
Will this tube fit my DreamStation 2?
Yes โ the PR-15 is compatible with both DreamStation 1 and DreamStation 2 machines. The same tube works across both generations.
Can I use this tube on a ResMed machine?
No โ the PR-15 uses a standard 22mm connection and will physically connect to a ResMed machine's outlet, but ResMed machines with SlimLine-only outlets require the proprietary smart-fit cuff of the ResMed SlimLine tube for correct pressure delivery.
How often should I replace the tube?
Every 3โ6 months, or sooner if you notice discolouration, persistent odour after cleaning, cracks, or visible degradation. A degraded tube can introduce bacteria and mould into the therapy circuit.
