With SleepWeaver 3D, it is recommended you place the hose down towards your chest, or off to either side.

Some PAP users connect 2 lengths of tubing to provide a longer hose which allows greater freedom of movement.

Does SleepWeaver 3D have an exhalation valve?
The exhalation "valve" on the SleepWeaver 3D is a series of very small holes that gently and quietly exhaust the exhaled air from the mask.

As long as the mask is properly maintained and washed, the exhalation valve will provide consistent exhaust performance.
