What happens here

The creator points out areas where clearance is tight and explains the need for specialty lines. He shows using fire sleeve, which has fiberglass on the inside and silicone on the outside, to protect lines from heat and wear. He also uses heat shrink on the ends of the braided lines to prevent fiberglass fibers from coming out and causing skin irritation.

Goal: Protect lines from heat damage and prevent fiberglass irritation.

Tools and materials

  • Braided Hoses — Fluid lines being protected
  • Fire Sleeve — Heat and abrasion protection for lines
  • Heat Shrink Tubing — Sealing the ends of braided lines
  • Fiberglass — Internal insulation of fire sleeve
  • Silicone — External coating of fire sleeve
