Description:
A decoupling device for vehicle exhaust systems such as fire trucks. The invention incorporates a tether inside a flexible hose to alleviate tension on the hose. The weight of the nozzle elbow and the natural moment produced when a truck leaves the station with the nozzle on offers an ideal application for a snap-ring assembly. When a moment is generated, the nozzle breaks free.
