A new season of summer cruising and car shows is here. But if your favorite car or truck isn’t properly prepared, the summer heat could leave you stranded someplace because those high-temperatures caused problems underhood.

Installing Thermal Barriers and Insulation Help to:
- Prevent reliability problems caused by excessive underhood heat
- Protect components from being damaged by constant high-temperature radiant heat exposure
- Save money by reducing heat-related maintenance costs
- Improve component and system function
Instead of being stuck waiting for a tow truck or other help, installing some Heatshield Products insulation and thermal barriers can help make sure the summer h

Introducing New Utili-Shield Thermal Barrier Protection for Wiring and Fluid Junctions

For straight sections of wiring harnesses or fluid lines, standard design thermal barrier sleeves work great for protecting those vital components from heat exposure and possible abrasion damage. But when it comes to shielding fluid couplings and wiring junctions from heat, a straight piece of sleeve material requires modification to fit over these junctions. 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-Shields^TM, T-shaped and 90-degree shaped sections of thermal barrier material designed specifically to protection important wiring junctions and fluid couplings.

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
