Questions & Answers

Are you referring to a diameter or a circumference of 5/8?

An OD of 5/8 is the maximum size of hose that can fit through the assembly.

What are the chances of fraying if you cut the sleeves into shorter lengths?

The edges of the paper aren't frayed since I cut them with scissors. You will notice that the more you handle the cut end, the more fraying it will incur.

This can be used around a battery cable that is against a radiator hose, right?

As far as I am concerned, it could be used very effectively

Is it on roll so you can slip the line through it or is it necessary to slide the line ?

There must be a hole through which the line or tube can pass.

I put it over a 5/16ths SS fuelline and it worked just fine
5/5

The product fit over a 5/16ths SS fuel line and it worked perfectly. Although it expands, it was not enough to go over the flare fittings on the fuel line, so I had to cut one end of the tubing, install the product, then refit it. Bring the end to a sudden halt. In addition to this product, I also installed a heat reflector over the top to provide even greater safety and efficiency. I used it on a Plymouth Flathead from the fuel pump to the carb since it goes right past the exhaust. This is *br.

Neither the tube nor the fitting expand over time
3/5

Quite well made and at a decent price for what it is. I was looking for a shield to protect the brake line of a motorcycle sitting near the exhaust. Unfortunately, the shield does not expand to cover I may still be able to use it after slicing it and tying it up with zip ties although that's not what I was hoping for.

The abrasion resistance was used as a protective layer
5/5

My camper's house batteries are connected to the starter battery of my Tundra via 4/0 electrical welder cable. I couldn't believe how well a 5/8" heat shield fit over the cable. As long as the cable is flexible enough to hold it over, pulling it over was actually easy, but once you tighten it, it's just as if it has always been there. While I did not put it to the test as an abrasion protection, it does look solid enough for the task. This is a very good product.

You've done a great job
5/5

My two daughters loved this product, it made all their lines look professional, and it helps protect them. I ordered a few so I could try it out, then I ordered two I also liked how easy it was to install!.

Heat shield of excellent quality
5/5

The heat shield sleeve is excellent. On my Harley Davidson, I use this on the fuel line. There is a lot of heat coming from the fuel line, which stretches between the cylinders. Heat shield sleeves protect fuel lines from cylinder heat and keep them cool. I used these sleeves over my 5/16" ID fuel lines. I have no problems with it so far.

It's all good
3/5

The size of the heat shrinks was far too large.

That's pretty cool
4/5

Especially if you have a lot of heat under the hood, this is a great solution. As someone who works on race and rally cars, there is no need to waste your time wrapping wires with normal wire wrap when you can have the added benefit of heat-proof wires. This feature does expand a bit to allow you to push fixings and other stuff through, but not all.
