A dosing lance assembly for an exhaust component includes: a housing including: a plate having a first aperture, a pipe having a first pipe end coupled to the plate around the first aperture, a second pipe end, and a second aperture, an endcap coupled to the second pipe end, and an elbow coupled to the pipe around the second aperture; an air conduit having a first air conduit end and a second air conduit end coupled to the elbow, the air conduit separated from the pipe at a location between the plate and the endcap; and a delivery conduit extending within the air conduit and coupled to the elbow.

A dosing lance assembly for an exhaust component includes: a housing comprising: a plate having a first channel, an endcap having a second channel, and a pipe having a first end coupled to the plate and a second end coupled to the endcap, wherein at least a portion of the pipe is airfoil-shaped; and a delivery conduit having a first end coupled to the plate and a second end coupled to the endcap, such that reductant is flowable from the first channel to the second channel.

A dosing lance assembly for an exhaust component includes a housing and a delivery conduit. The housing includes a plate, an endcap, and a pipe. The plate has a first channel. The endcap has a second channel. The pipe has a first end coupled to the plate and a second end coupled to the endcap. The delivery conduit has a first end coupled to the plate and a second end coupled to the endcap, such that reductant is flowable from the first channel to the second channel. When the housing is at an ambient temperature, (i) a length of the delivery conduit is greater than (ii) a first distance between a location at which the first end of the pipe is coupled to the plate and a location at which the second end of the pipe is coupled to the endcap.

A strap adjustment mechanism may include a pin with a pin opening that is insertable into a looped portion of an end of a strap. The strap adjustment mechanism may also include a fastener support assembly that has a first member and a second member. The second member is configured to translate along a central axis relative to the first member in response to rotation of the first member. The first member includes a first opening substantially collinear with the central axis of the second member, and the second member includes a second opening substantially collinear with the central axis of the second member. The strap adjustment mechanism further includes a strap attachment member that is insertable through the first and second openings of the first member and the second member. The strap attachment member is configured to engagably couple to the pin via the pin opening.

Strap adjustment mechanism

A mounting system for an exhaust system component may include one or more end mounting brackets and one or more intermediary mounting brackets. Each of the one or more end mounting brackets and the one or more intermediary mounting brackets may each include a vertical member, a horizontal member, one or more attachment openings, and an attachment strap configured to secure a component of an exhaust system to the respective end mounting bracket or intermediary mounting bracket. The one or more end mounting brackets and the one or more intermediary mounting brackets may be configured to be selectively attached and detached from a mounting surface via one or more surface attachment members and the one or more attachment openings.
