    About Wire Sleeving
    industrial info icon

    Select the right sleeving to protect your wires against heat, abrasion, corrosion, and impact.

    High-Temperature Electrical Insulating Tube Wire Sleeving

    This sleeving is often used to insulate connections in transformers, relays, and solenoids. It prevents electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable. When exposed to flame, it will self-extinguish and produce a nonconductive ash. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. Made of silicone-coated fiberglass, it resists chemicals.

    Spark-Resistant Tube Wire Sleeving

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Sleeving. Spark-Resistant Tube Wire Sleeving.
    A specially formulated silicone rubber coating on this fiberglass sleeving sheds sparks, molten metal splash, hydraulic fuel, and lubricating oil. Exposure to a torch will char the coating, but will not scorch the fiberglass inner layer. It also resists fraying. Because this sleeving is non-expandable, it does not stretch, so it’s best for applications where you know the exact diameter of the items you need to protect.

    Expandable Electrical Insulating Tube Wire Sleeving

    A specially formulated silicone rubber coating allows this fiberglass sleeving to stretch over items during installation; it then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. Often used in motors, generators, and transformers, it prevents electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable. It has good chemical resistance.

    Spark-Resistant Hook and Loop Wraparound Wire Sleeving

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Sleeving. Spark-Resistant Hook and Loop Wraparound Wire Sleeving.
    A specially formulated silicone rubber coats this fiberglass sleeving to shed sparks, molten metal splash, hydraulic fuel, and lubricating oil. Wrap it around wire, cable, and hose without disconnecting them. It has a slit along the entire length and a strip of hook and loop that keeps it securely closed but allows you to maintain access along the length of the sleeving.

    Extra-Thick Spark-Resistant Tube Wire Sleeving

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Sleeving. Extra-Thick Spark-Resistant Tube Wire Sleeving.
    Made from thicker and denser fiberglass than standard spark-resistant sleeving, this sleeving is more abrasion resistant and provides better insulation. The specially formulated silicone rubber coating sheds sparks, molten metal splash, hydraulic fuel, and lubricating oil. It also resists fraying. Exposure to a torch will char the coating, but will not scorch the fiberglass inner layer. It can withstand short-term flame exposure up to 2000° F, and is flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test of vertically suspended material. Because this sleeving is non-expandable, it does not stretch, so it’s best for applications where you know the exact diameter of the items you need to protect.
