Red Head Brass SpeedSwivel FDC Adapter
Red Head Brass is now the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the patented SpeedSwivel FDC adapter— the firefighters’ solution to stolen or vandalized fire sprinkler and standpipe connections.
Solution to Stolen or Missing Brass Swivels
When brass swivels are missing from a FDC, the male threads on a fire hose are no longer compatible. SpeedSwivel is the missing piece for firefighters to quickly connect and pressurize FDCs to achieve sufficient water and nozzle pressure to attack the fire.
The SpeedSwivel has teeth and sliding segments that will engage with the exposed groove on an FDC that has a missing brass swivel. A few spins of the easy-to-use rocker lug coupling and the SpeedSwivel connection is complete.
Patented in 2014, SpeedSwivel was developed by a retired fire captain who also served as a fire inspector. SpeedSwivel has been placed on the inventory of hundreds of fire trucks in the United States and Canada including Chicago, Phoenix, Denver, Portland, and Toronto.
Now available from Red Head Brass distributors, SpeedSwivel is manufactured with the highest commitment to quality as all Red Head Brass connectors and features:
