Adams Fire Hose nozzle w/shutoff

I pick up this setup at C5FII and I am kicking myself for not buying it sooner!!

I have broken so many nozzles and shutoff in the last year, that I could have bought a dozen of these!

What a great nozzle, made TOUGH... Its a beefy piece of engineering!

Love it!

Thanks Adams!

Jason

Its funny you should mention getting it at C5FII... on the last day someone drove right over the top of the one we were using in the wash area. Aside from some scuff marks where it was ground into the blacktop not a thing wrong with it.

After a nuclear blast the only things that will survive: Cockroaches and our Fire Hose Nozzle

I used that Fire Hose nozzle at the Fest and it seemed to do the job pretty well! Once the nozzle I'm using goes into retirement, I'm going to have to get one of these!

Wish we had better water pressure to show you guys how well it REALLY does. That hose was barely a trickle out there :(

What?!?? You mean there's more to it than that?

I was already pretty impressed with it as it was!

LOL... dude... I think I pee with more pressure than that hose had at the track. Was a little disappointed b/c we had told them we needed high pressure to run 4 hoses.

"Oh no problem!" they tell us, then we get there and they have trickle coming out of one garden hose LOL... when we hooked up the 4 way tap it reduced the pressure even more so we stuck to one hose. If you haven't yet check out the video Ryan made:

The Adam's nozzle is by far the nicest nozzle I have ever had my hands on, I never wanted to spend the money on the Griot's premium nozzle; the Adam's nozzle comes in at half the price. Adam's doesn't do cheap - they proved it with this nozzle. 100% made in the USA billet aluminum quality machined parts... If the cheapie nozzles that break after a year or two aren't cutting it for you or they don't have enough pressure for you - grab one of these Adam's combo's.

I do have to warn you guys - this thing puts out such an intense stream of water I wouldn't use the jet stream setting directly on the paint. I never rinse my car with a jet stream of water anyways, I always use a mist to rinse the car and this nozzle offers the best mist I've had out of any hose nozzle.

Thought about getting one but I love and need pistol-grip nozzles. I've got a high quality one from a big irrigation company.

Should Adams ever bring about a pistol-grip nozzle, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Ok Dylan....

I'm a professional firefighter. So after watching Ryan's video, I'm very curious, what company makes your Firehose Nozzle? Just curious. I plan to buy, but I'd like to know the company that makes it.

Feel free to PM me if you can't post it here....

FWIW
I am a fireman and wash my Camaro and Tahoe often at work. I have a whole compliment of "fire nozzles" at my disposal. I could flow 200 gpm@200psi if I wanted... I always use the cheap garden hose spray nozzle to wash, then remove the nozzle and dribble water for "sheeting" action to remove the majority of H20.
