The first bracket portion can include a first end with a first protruding portion, a second protruding portion, and an opening that extends between the first and second protruding portions, or a second end. The opening can receive a portion of a flexible hose assembly. The second end can receive a portion of a lateral support bar. The second bracket portion can be slidably coupled with the first bracket portion through the sliding mechanism by a pin. The sliding mechanism can include an aperture to receive the pin. The sliding mechanism can move in a lateral direction between the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion of the first end of the first bracket portion about the pin within the aperture.
