The A-FAST system – The original AFAST 1, the “Attic Stick”
The AFAST-1 main pipe system is schedule 40 aluminum (36 inches) with a 1-1/2-inch NH threaded female swivel connector. The extension pipe is the same material and also 36 inches long with male and female 1-inch male NH threads.
The A-FAST-1 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.
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 NEW A-FAST system utilizing ONE set of two AFAST-10 extension pipes (72 inches total) AND the trademark nozzle tip to assemble the A-FAST 1.

The A-FAST-2, the Roof applicator assembly
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 blue A-FAST 2 nozzle applicator attaches to the modular A-FAST 10 pipe assembly to form the complete A-FAST 2 system.
The A-FAST 10 base extension is 36 inches long and mates a 1-1/2″ NST female swivel and a 1″ NST male. The nozzle extension assembly is roughly 36 inches long and mates to a male / female 1″ NST fitting.

The A-FAST 3, the Basement & Flat Roof applicator
The A-FAST 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 A-FAST 10 base extension is 36 inches long and mates a 1-1/2″ NST female swivel and a 1″ NST male. The nozzle extension assembly is roughly 36 inches long and mates to a male / female 1″ NST fitting.

The model 9-B has internal female threads for installing on your hand pump applicator assembly.
We can talk about this all day but this article in Fire Apparatus and Equipment says it all.

The A-FAST-10, the Lithium-Ion car battery cooling pipe assembly with extension
The A-FAST 10 L-Ion battery cooling nozzle is a lightweight easy to assemble nozzle designed for the cooling of Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries. The nozzle does not extinguish the battery fire but cools the battery pack from beneath the vehicle. The benefit of the A-FAST 10 is its ability to flow water at a lower pressure. This allows it to be directly supplied from a fire hydrant to permit the fire apparatus to be available for other purposes.
The nozzle and tip pipe is attached to an aluminum base plate / skid unit for stability. The nozzle tip flows between 50 and 90 gallons per minute.
The assembly consists of the A-FAST 10 base system, about 72 inches long (yellow reflective tape) and ONE 36-inch extension pipe (red reflective tape) for a total of 108 inches total (9 feet). Extension pipes can be added in any number to increase the distance from the personnel operating the system, but they must be slid along the ground to prevent damage to the pipes.

The A-FAST-11, DELUGE / Forestry pipe assembly with extension
The A-FAST 11 Deluge nozzle is a lightweight easy to assemble nozzle designed for those situations that need exposure protection during a wildfire, or a wide fan deluge spray to inhibit flashover in a strip mall for example. The benefit of the A-FAST 11 is its ability to flow 150 to 200 gallons per minute at regular pump pressures and be left without personnel operating the unit.
