Product Information

Full details

The Design Engineering Heat Sheath Gold is an essential thermal protection solution for automotive and industrial professionals looking to shield sensitive wiring and pipework from extreme temperatures and abrasion. Engineered for high-performance environments, it offers superior heat reflection capabilities that prevent system failures caused by thermal breakdown. While it provides excellent protection against direct heat, users should note that it is designed for external heat shielding and must be cut to precise specifications to ensure a secure fit for their specific application.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on my exhaust manifold?

No, this product is designed for heat reflection (shielding) and not for direct contact with extreme heat sources like headers or exhaust manifolds.

What tools do I need to cut the sheath?

Standard heavy-duty scissors or a sharp utility knife are sufficient to cut the glass fiber and polyimide material.

Is the material conductive?

The Metalized Polyimide surface is conductive; ensure it does not come into contact with exposed electrical terminals or connections.

Can it be installed over existing lines?

Yes, it is designed as a wrap-around solution, making it ideal for protecting lines already installed in the vehicle.

How do I secure the ends?

We recommend using stainless steel zip ties, high-temperature hose clamps, or high-temp heat-resistant tape.

Troubleshooting

Material fraying at cut ends

Apply a small amount of high-temperature electrical tape or heat-shrink tubing to the cut edges to seal the glass fiber strands.

Sheath sliding along the hose/wire

Use stainless steel locking ties or high-temp silicone tape to ensure the sheath remains stationary in high-vibration areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reflects extreme direct heat up to 800 degrees F
  • Provides a protective barrier against physical abrasion and vibration
  • Easy to install and cut to custom lengths with basic tools
  • High-quality, durable glass fiber and polyimide construction

Cons

  • Requires manual measurement and cutting for specific installations
  • Not intended for direct contact with open flames or exhaust manifolds
  • May require additional cable ties or clamps to secure at ends

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Heat Sheath Gold is straightforward but requires attention to detail.

  1. Measure: Determine the exact length needed for your component, allowing for a slight overlap if necessary for full coverage.
  2. Cut: Use sharp scissors or a utility knife to cut the material. Because of the glass fiber construction, it is recommended to wear gloves to prevent skin irritation.
  3. Apply: Wrap the sheath around the wiring or pipework. The inherent structure of the material allows it to maintain its shape around the component.
  4. Secure: While the material holds its form well, we recommend using high-temperature cable ties or stainless steel clamps at both ends to keep the sheath fixed in place.

For care, periodically inspect the sheath for signs of excessive wear or contamination from oil and fluids. The outer Metalized Polyimide surface can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth if it becomes dirty.
