    Quick Guide to Heat Shield Sleeve Products

    Heat shield sleeves can make the difference between a reliable vehicle and one that’s constantly having issues. Anything underhood near the engine and exhaust is subjected to constant, high-temperature ambient heat. In some situations there can be intermittent contact with a high-temperature heat source that can lead to irregular operation of components or even premature failure. Protecting wiring harnesses, fluid lines and critical linkages from heat and/or potential friction damage can stop a good day from turning into a bad one, whether you’re just going for a cruise or at the racetrack.

    Heat Shield Sleeves:

    • Protect fluid lines from heat exposure that can heat fluid inside to point of breakdown or loss of function (like fuel vapor lock)
    • Protect wir

  2. Protect Fuel Hose, Wiring and Brake Lines from Heat

    Protecting what feeds and controls your engine and its accessories from heat damage is crucial for reliability and optimal function.Heat shields and thermal barriers are simple and effective ways to protect fuel lines, wiring, brake lines and other components from the negative effects of high temperatures.

    For example, when fuel lines are exposed to excessive ambient heat, the risk of vapor lock skyrockets for both carb and fuel-injection engines. Once vapor lock happens, the only thing you can do is sit still and let things cool off. And when electrical wiring is exposed to high ambient heat, electrical resistance through the wires increases, which means it takes more energy to send a signal and electrical energy through, potentially resulting in malfunctions and electrical issues, especially if that heat eventually melts the wires and severs them. A wiring meltdown could also mean a short circuits and damage to the electronic control module and

Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. These chemicals can be in the products that Californians purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment.
