ABSTRACT:
A polygonal flexible metal hose coupling assembly for connecting first and second pipes of a vehicle exhaust system includes a polygonal coupling body. The coupling body is formed by spiral-winding a metal strip with interlocking leading and trailing edges. The polygonal configuration of the coupling body prevents the strip turns or windings from sliding with respect to each other along their interlocked seams. A pair of clamps are provided for connecting the coupling body ends to the pipe ends. Each clamp includes an annular band with a first section having a generally round cross-sectional configuration for receiving a pipe end and a second section with a polygonal cross-sectional configuration for receiving a coupling body end.
