FAQs

What is the primary function of the Cool-It Thermo Sleeve?

The primary function is to protect components like hoses, fuel lines, and wiring from radiant heat, preventing heat damage and maintaining optimal performance.

How does the Thermo Sleeve differ from traditional heat sleeves?

It uses an ultra-lightweight construction with a highly reflective foil laminated onto high-temperature fabric, offering superior insulation without the bulk of traditional coated fiberglass sleeves.

Can this sleeve be used for direct flame exposure?

No, the Thermo Sleeve is designed to protect against radiant heat. It is fireproof, but not intended for direct flame contact.

What is the maximum radiant heat it can reflect?

It can reflect up to 90% of all radiant heat.

What sizes are available?

It is available in various inside diameters (e.g., 1/4 - 1/2 Inch, 5/8 - 1 Inch, 1 - 1 1/2 Inch, 1.5/8-2'' ID) and lengths (3 or 12 feet).

Is the material resistant to chemicals?

Yes, the Thermo Sleeve is oil resistant.

How should I clean the Thermo Sleeve?

Clean the sleeve with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Sleeve is too tight to slide on

Ensure the selected inside diameter (ID) is correct. If the component's outer diameter is at the upper limit of the sleeve's specified range, consider a sleeve with a slightly larger ID. You may need to gently flex or slightly spread the sleeve opening during installation.

Sleeve appears to be degrading or melting

Verify that the heat source does not exceed the sleeve's temperature resistance limits. This sleeve is designed for radiant heat, not direct contact with extremely high-temperature sources like exhaust headers. Ensure it is not in direct contact with exhaust pipes or manifolds.

Foil surface is scratched or damaged

The foil is a critical component for heat reflection. Avoid dragging the sleeve over rough surfaces during installation. Minor scratches may not significantly impact performance, but deep gouges could compromise its effectiveness. Replace if damage is extensive.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective radiant heat shielding
  • Lightweight and non-bulky design
  • Durable and resistant to fire and oil
  • Available in multiple sizes for diverse needs
  • Easy to install on hoses, lines, and wires

Cons

  • May require precise measurement for optimal fit
  • Reflective foil can be abrasive if not handled carefully
  • Not designed for direct flame contact
  • Limited availability in colors other than silver

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure the diameter of the component to be protected.
  2. Select the Cool-It Thermo Sleeve with the appropriate inside diameter (ID) and length. Ensure the ID is slightly larger than the component for ease of installation.
  3. Slide the Thermo Sleeve over the hose, wire, or fuel line. For longer runs, multiple pieces may be used, ensuring a snug fit between them.
  4. Secure with zip ties or hose clamps if necessary, though the sleeve's snug fit often suffices.

Compatibility:

This product is compatible with a wide range of automotive and industrial applications, including:

  • Fuel lines
  • Oil lines
  • Transmission cooler lines
  • Hydraulic hoses
  • Wiring harnesses
  • Vacuum lines

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspect regularly for any signs of damage or wear.
  • Ensure the sleeve remains dry, as prolonged moisture exposure can affect its integrity.
