FAQs

What is the maximum continuous operating temperature?

The COOL IT Thermo-Tec Heat Sleeve can handle continuous heat protection up to 250°C (482°F).

Can this sleeve protect against oil and coolant spills?

Yes, it is designed to protect against liquid spills, including automotive fluids like oil and coolant.

How is the sleeve supplied?

The Heat Sleeves are supplied in standard 3-foot lengths.

Can I cut the sleeve to a custom length?

Yes, the sleeve can be cut to your required length using sharp scissors or a utility knife.

What material is the Heat Sleeve made from?

It is constructed from high-quality braided fiberglass sleeving coated with a silicone rubber compound.

What is the short-term temperature resistance?

It can withstand short-term exposures to temperatures up to 1200°C (2192°F).

Are there different sizes available?

Yes, the Heat Sleeves are available in a range of diameters to suit various applications.

Troubleshooting

Heat Sleeve is difficult to slide onto the component.

Ensure the correct diameter sleeve is being used. Try slightly widening the sleeve opening or using a mild, compatible lubricant on the component (ensure it dries completely before heat exposure).

Material at the ends of the sleeve appears to be fraying after cutting.

Use a sharper cutting tool for a cleaner cut. You can also carefully use a heat gun on a low setting to lightly fuse the fiberglass strands at the cut edge, being careful not to overheat the silicone coating.

Sleeve is not staying in place.

Ensure the sleeve is sized correctly and slid on fully. Consider using heat-resistant zip ties or high-temperature tape at the ends to secure it, especially in high-vibration environments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against extreme heat and flame.
  • Resistant to common automotive and industrial fluids.
  • Durable braided fiberglass and silicone construction.
  • Simple to install on existing setups.
  • Available in multiple sizes and colors.

Cons

  • Fixed 3-foot lengths may require cutting.
  • The 3/4'' diameter might not fit all applications.
  • Requires specific identification of needs to select the correct diameter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Determine the required length of the Heat Sleeve and carefully cut it to size using sharp scissors or a utility knife. Ensure the cut is clean for a snug fit.
  2. Installation: Gently slide the Heat Sleeve over the wire, cable, or hose that requires protection. For larger components or tight fits, a small amount of lubrication (like soapy water) might help, but ensure it's compatible with the materials being protected and allow it to dry.
  3. Securing (Optional): While the sleeve is designed to stay in place, for added security or if vibration is a concern, consider using zip ties or heat-resistant tape at the ends.

Compatibility:

The COOL IT Thermo-Tec Heat Sleeve is compatible with a wide range of materials including rubber, silicone, plastic, and braided hoses, as well as various types of electrical wiring. The 3/4'' diameter is suitable for medium-sized cables and hoses. Always ensure the diameter chosen is appropriate for the component being covered.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the silicone coating.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the Heat Sleeve for signs of wear, cracking, or damage, especially after exposure to extreme conditions. Replace if compromised.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat when not in use.
