The opposite end of the hose is connected to the nozzles and some other respiratory attachments. If you observe carefully, you may seem that connectors are the main reason of leakage or damage in this portion. Then you can just set the new fitting in place. But wait for a second, do you feel any problem in setting the new one? Don’t worry, rub some soap in the end portion, or deep the part in hot water. You can quickly set up the new one.
