High Temperature Protection Knit Fire Sleeve for Hydraulic Hose

High Temperature Protection Knit Fire Sleeve for Hydraulic Hose

When hydraulic systems operate under extreme heat, they demand a reliable solution to prevent thermal degradation and catastrophic failure. The High Temperature Protection Knit Fire Sleeve is engineered specifically for high-performance protection of hydraulic hoses, lines, and wiring systems exposed to intense radiant heat, flame, molten splash, and mechanical abrasion.

Constructed with a flexible knitted fiberglass substrate and coated with a thick layer of high-grade silicone rubber, this fire sleeve provides a robust thermal barrier that can withstand continuous temperatures up to 260°C (500°F) and short-term exposure to molten splash or flame up to 1650°C (3000°F).

The knitted construction offers superior flexibility and expansion, allowing the sleeve to easily conform to irregular surfaces, tight bends, or complex hose assemblies. This design also makes it easier to install over fittings and connectors, providing full coverage without compromising the integrity of the protection.

Ideal for use in steel mills, foundries, glass plants, automotive and aerospace applications, as well as mining, oil & gas, and off-road equipment, the Knit Fire Sleeve is widely used where hoses and cables are exposed to severe heat and need extended service life and reduced downtime. The silicone outer layer not only protects from direct heat but also resists hydraulic oils, fuels, water, and contaminants—enhancing system safety and performance under demanding conditions.

Key features:

• Thermal resistance: Continuous to 260°C (500°F); peak to 1650°C (3000°F)

• Material: Knitted fiberglass sleeve with silicone rubber coating

• Excellent flexibility for routing over hoses and fittings

• Abrasion and splash resistant

• Resistant to oils, solvents, and moisture

• Easy to install—ideal for both OEM and aftermarket applications
