Re:      Registration Statement on Form S-8 Covering Common Stock
         to be Issued Pursuant to the 2001 Stock Award Plan

Gentlemen:

     As counsel for  American  IR  Technologies,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  I have
participated  in the  preparation of the  Registration  Statement which is to be
filed on Form S-8 under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as  amended,  covering an
aggregate of 2,000,000 of the Company's shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") to
be issued  pursuant to the Company's 2001 Stock Award Plan (the "Plan").  I have
also examined the proceedings  taken and the instruments  executed in connection
with the approval of the Plan by the Board of Directors of the Company.

     It is my opinion that, when issued pursuant to the Plan, the Shares will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     I hereby  consent  to the  filing  of this  opinion  as an  Exhibit  to the
Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,



/s/ Ina P. Kagel
