The A-FAST system – The original AFAST 1, the “Attic Stick”

The AFAST-1 system comprises a high-flow valve assembly with all American made components and has a full 1-1/2 inch waterway.  The pistol grip handle is aluminum and is removable, it has 1-1/2″ NST threads on both ends.  The shut-off bail is high strength steel and a full 1-1/2 inch opening!.  The pipe is schedule 40 aluminum and the nozzle tip is machined from billet brass and drilled and machined by hand.  Flow tests show between 150 and 230 gallons per minute flow, depending on engine pressure, hose length, and type.

AND it even looks awesome!

AFAST 1 with PowderCoat finish

NOTE:  This is NOT a piercing nozzle.  Although it will punch through a normal 1/2-inch to 1-inch DRYWALL layer, it is not meant to be used as a piercing nozzle.  Any other material you will have to make an access hole with hand or power tools.  This nozzle assembly is designed for maximum water flow for application in a concealed space, therefore the tip is not designed to be forced through hard material. The nozzle assembly is roughly 4.5 feet long and mates to a 1-1/2″ NST fitting.

The A-FAST-2, the Roof applicator

The AFAST-2 is constructed of the same high quality American made materials.  The AFAST-2 is designed for operating from the exterior roof area, utilizing a fire sprinkler type method to extinguish attic and confined space fires.  The firefighters cut a small hole in the roof deck, or utilize an existing vent hole or burn-through area and insert the AFAST-2 down into the hole.  Charge the line and let the special designed water applicator do its job.

The nozzle assembly is roughly 6.5 feet long and mates to a male 1-1/2″ NST fitting.

The A-FAST-3, the Basement & Flat Roof applicator

The AFAST-3 is the answer for your below grade or basement fires, as well as confined space fires and fires below flat roofs (cocklofts, etc).  We received so many calls about the AFAST-2 and how it would work on basement fires if only the angle of the bend were less and the reach longer.  Well we listened and the AFAST-3 was born!

The revolutionary A-FAST-4 wall cavity nozzle

Firefighters asked us if we could make a mini-me version of the A-FAST 1 for use in wall cavities, primarily for balloon frame construction.  Have no fear… A-FAST 4 is here!!  We modified the tip, and instead of brass we machined it from BILLET ALUMINUM!  Punch a hole in the lath and plaster, get this nozzle in there and get that fire before it gets to the attic!
