Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pure O2 wall mount system?

The Pure O2 wall mount system is designed to help keep oxygen tubing elevated, organized, and routed along the wall instead of across the floor. Its purpose is to reduce clutter, improve home organization, and help lower the chance of tubing becoming a trip hazard in everyday living spaces.

Why is oxygen tubing on the floor a problem?

Loose oxygen tubing can create a real tripping hazard, especially for older adults, people with limited mobility, caregivers, and visitors. Tubing that stretches across walkways, around furniture, or through doorways can easily end up underfoot. A simple misstep can lead to a serious fall, injury, or hospitalization.

Who is this product designed for?

This product is designed for people who use oxygen at home and want a cleaner, safer way to manage their tubing. It may be especially helpful for older adults, people who use walkers or mobility aids, caregivers trying to make a home safer, and families who want to reduce fall hazards inside the home.

How does the system work?

The system uses wall-mounted backings and hose clips that attach to the oxygen tubing. The backings are placed along the wall, and the tubing clips line up with them to help guide the tubing through the home in a more controlled path. This helps keep tubing from dragging loosely across the floor in high-traffic areas.

Where should the wall backings be installed?

For most homes, the backings should be installed slightly above hip height so they are easy and comfortable to reach. They should generally be spaced about six feet apart. This spacing helps support the tubing without placing too much weight or pull on any one clip location.

Why should the backings be spaced about six feet apart?

Spacing the backings too close together can make the setup unnecessary and crowded. Spacing them too far apart can create excess pull and strain on the tubing path. About six feet apart gives a good balance between support, function, and ease of use in most home layouts.

How do I install the backings?

First, decide where you want the tubing to be routed. Plan the full path before attaching anything to the wall. Clean the wall surface first, preferably with rubbing alcohol, to remove dust, oil, or residue. Once the wall is clean and dry, remove the backing from the adhesive tape, position the piece so it is level and straight, and press it firmly into place.

Why should I plan the layout before sticking the backings to the wall?

Because once the adhesive backing is installed, removing it may require replacement tape before it can be used again. Planning ahead helps avoid wasted adhesive and gives you a cleaner, more effective setup from the start.

Can the hose clips be moved on the tubing?

Yes. The hose clips can be slid along the tubing so you can position them where you want them. This allows you to adjust the layout based on your home, furniture arrangement, and personal preference.

How many hose clips come with the system?

A standard setup uses five hose clips attached to the tubing. These can be spaced according to the distance between your installed wall backings and the route you want the tubing to follow.

What is the difference between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 clips?

Level 1 clips provide the lightest retention and the easiest release.

Level 2 clips provide the strongest retention while still maintaining a safety disconnect.

Level 3 clips do not include a safety disconnect and attach directly for a sturdier, more fixed setup.

Each level is designed for a different balance of hold strength, convenience, and routing needs.

Which clip level should I choose?

Level 1 is best for users who want the easiest release and lightest hold.

Level 2 is best for users who want a stronger hold while still keeping a safety disconnect feature.

Level 3 is best for more fixed routing situations where the tubing is not expected to be moved often and a sturdier setup is preferred.

Does Level 3 still allow the hose to be removed?

Yes. The hose can still be removed from the clip, but the clip itself does not have a safety breakaway feature like the other levels. That is why Level 3 is better for more permanent routing locations where the setup is not expected to shift often.

Does this product eliminate all fall risks?

No. No product can eliminate every fall risk in the home. However, it can help reduce one specific and preventable hazard by keeping oxygen tubing more organized and out of common walking paths.

Is this a medical device?

This product is designed as a home oxygen tubing management and safety solution. It is intended to help organize and route tubing in a safer and more convenient way. It is not a substitute for medical advice, medical supervision, or manufacturer guidance for oxygen equipment.

Can this product be used with any oxygen tubing?

It is designed for standard home oxygen tubing setups. If you use a specialized tubing size, a unique connector system, or unusual equipment, it is always smart to confirm fit before ordering or contact us with questions.

Can I use this in multiple rooms?

Yes. The system can be used in bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and other areas of the home where tubing needs to be routed more safely. Many people use it to improve the path between the main living area and the bathroom or bedroom.

What wall surfaces does it work best on?

The adhesive works best on clean, smooth, dry surfaces. A dirty, dusty, oily, or uneven surface can reduce adhesion. Cleaning the area first helps improve hold.

Can I remove the backing after installation?

Yes, but once removed, you may need to apply new double-sided tape before reinstalling it. That is why planning the setup before installation is recommended.

Can I buy extra front clips or backings?

Yes. Additional front clips and backings are available on the website for larger homes, longer tubing routes, replacements, or custom layouts.

What happens if I need to expand my setup later?

You can add more backings and front clips at any time. This makes it easy to build out a larger path through the home or adjust the setup as your needs change.

Will this damage the wall?

Any adhesive-mounted product has the potential to affect certain wall finishes when removed, especially depending on paint quality, wall texture, and installation conditions. For best results, install only after choosing the final location carefully.

Can this help make the home look cleaner and less cluttered?

Yes. In addition to improving tubing management, the system helps create a more organized appearance by routing tubing along the wall instead of leaving it stretched loosely across the floor.

Is this helpful for caregivers and family members too?

Absolutely. Caregivers and family members often worry about tubing lying in walkways or becoming tangled around furniture. A more organized setup can make the home easier to navigate and reduce worry about tubing being stepped on, snagged, or pulled unexpectedly.

Can this be used in high-traffic areas?

Yes, and that is often where it helps most. Hallways, living rooms, and areas between the bed, chair, and bathroom are common places where tubing can become a hazard. Routing tubing along the wall instead of across open floor space can help reduce that risk.

Can the tubing still be moved when needed?

Yes. The system is designed to guide and organize tubing while still allowing normal daily use. The exact amount of movement depends on the layout, the clip level chosen, and where the system is installed.

Is this product meant to replace safe home practices?

No. This product should be used as part of a broader home safety approach. Clear walkways, good lighting, careful furniture placement, and proper oxygen equipment use still matter.

Should I talk to a medical professional before using it?

If you have questions about your oxygen setup, mobility limitations, or the safest way to use oxygen equipment in your home, it is always a good idea to consult a medical professional or equipment provider.

What is the main benefit of this product?

The main benefit is simple: it helps keep oxygen tubing better managed, more organized, and less likely to end up across the floor where it can become a trip hazard.
