The heat rating of a silicone coated fire sleeve is typically up to 500°F (260°C) continuous, with a peak (short-term) rating of up to 2000°F (1093°C) for 10-30 minutes. However, it's crucial to understand that this is a general range, and the exact rating can vary by manufacturer and specific product line. Here’s a more detailed breakdown: Standard Heat Ratings: Continuous Service Tempe...
