Thermal Sleeves
Thermal Protection for Hoses, Cables & Other Critical Components
Clevaflex Thermal Sleeves are convoluted, multi-ply sleeves of woven fiberglass, aluminum or stainless steel, mechanically overlapped, and then bonded with a thermosetting adhesive.
Clevaflex Thermal Sleeves provide excellent protection from internal and external sources of radiant and reflected heat. They protect a variety of critical components, including hoses, cables, liquid lines and wire assemblies, from surface temperatures up to 650 degrees Celsius, and are resistant to fluids and mechanical abrasion.
Our proprietary manufacturing process produces strong and lightweight convoluted sleeves that can be precisely bent and routed without degradation or frayed ends. Thermal Sleeves have a highly engineered appearance and allow for custom ends (slits, slots or notches) to increase thermal protection and simplify installation.
In addition, Thermal Sleeves are available in the super style, whereby the wall height is increased to improve flexibility and thermal performance. They are available in diameter sizes between 12 mm to 405 mm.
Typical Applications:
- Power steering hoses
