Abstract
Described herein is a fire containment connector. It includes a female end to connect with a male coupling on a first fire hose and a male end to connect with a female coupling on a second fire hose. The fire containment connector also includes a cylindrical base that routes water from the first fire hose to the second fire hose. A cylindrical section of a sleeve rotates about a main body of the cylindrical base until the fire containment connector is in an open position. An oblong opening in the main body allows water to exit the cylindrical base and enter a hollow protuberance of the sleeve when the oblong opening and the hollow protuberance are aligned. A curved slit in the hollow protuberance expels a fan-shaped spray of water and a wall of water is formed.

A fire containment connector, comprising:
- a female end to connect with a male coupling on a first fire hose;
- a male end to connect with a female coupling on a second fire hose;
- a cylindrical base to route water from the first fire hose to the second fire hose;
- a sleeve to slip over the male end and move along a main body of the cylindrical base;
- a first flat side parabolic in shape and a second flat side parabolic in shape, acutely angled toward each other, and separated by a connected solid arch to form a hollow protuberance of the sleeve;
- a cylindrical section of the sleeve to rotate about the main body of the cylindrical base until the fire containment connector is in an open position;
- an oblong opening in the main body of the cylindrical base to route water from the cylindrical base into the hollow protuberance of the sleeve when the oblong opening in the main body and the hollow protuberance of the sleeve are aligned;
- and
- a curved slit, a first angled hole, and a second angled hole in the arch of the hollow protuberance of the sleeve to expel a fan-shaped water spray and form a wall of water.
