:: Features

Provide Firefighters with a safe, quick and efficient means of knocking down and extinguishing Compartmentalized fires. These high quality tools were designed with the primary objective of Safety for Fire Services Personnel. All Augustus Fire Tool® products are manufactured in the USA and are precision machined within .003 of an inch from corrosion and rust Resistant stainless steel. The specially designed and hardened stainless steel piercing tip is easily removed for cleaning, sharpening, or if it ever requires replacement.The Series 200 & 300 tools for hose lines are similar in concept, design, manufacture and operation as the original Series 100 Augustus Tool®. There are two models of both the Series 200 & 300 tools one has the handle at 90-degree to the penetrating head, and the other at 105-degree to the head. The 105-degree angle allows for easier penetration of vertical surfaces. The difference between the Series 200 and 300 tools is the maximum depth of penetration. The depth of penetration of the Series 200 striking head from the handle to the discharge orifices (commonly called the "Snout") is 5-1/8"and the Series 300 is 7-1/4".The extinguishing agent can be supplied from a booster tank using 1" booster, or 1-1/2" & 1-3/4" hose lines. The extinguishing power provided by the steam expansion of 55 GPM of water (also compatible with foam), at Pump Discharge Pressures (PDP) between 135 to 155 PSI, is greatly amplified because the fire is confined isolated in an Enclosed area. The tools' specially designed periphery discharge pattern produces minimal nozzle reaction force and also significantly minimizes the amount of extinguishing agent required.All hose line tools have a newly designed 1" NST Full Time Swivel (FTS) on the end of the handle for a direct connection to a 1" booster line, or connection to 1-1/2" & 1-3/4" hose lines by utilizing a 6.5, 8, 10 or 12 foot 1" flat hose "WHIP".
