Besides lengthening the installation process, these modifications can also compromise the efficiency of the thermal barrier sleeve to protect the components. This was the genesis that fueled us to come up with Utili-ShieldsTM, T-shaped and 90-degree shaped sections of thermal barrier material designed specifically to protection important wiring junctions and fluid couplings.
