Protect hoses and industrial lines from radiant heat, welding sparks and molten metal splash with Kingdaflex silicone fire sleeves. Our silicone-coated fiberglass fire sleeve hose protectors are available in tube-style, snap button, zipper and hook & loop constructions. Choose the fit, closure and supply format for new hose assemblies or maintenance retrofits.
Tube-style fire sleeves feature a continuous, fully enclosed tubular structure designed for permanent installation on hydraulic hose assemblies.
This type is ideal for OEM production lines and large-volume hose manufacturing, offering consistent thermal protection, stable dimensions, and reliable performance in high-temperature industrial environments.
Snap button fire sleeves are designed for easy installation on existing hydraulic hoses without disconnecting fittings.
The snap closure allows quick access for maintenance and inspection, making them suitable for steel mills, industrial plants, and retrofit projects requiring removable and reusable high-temperature hose protection.
Zipper fire sleeves feature a full-length zipper design that enables fast installation and removal while maintaining complete hose coverage.
They are well suited for applications requiring frequent inspection or replacement, and are commonly used in OEM equipment, heavy machinery, and industrial hydraulic systems.
Hook and loop fire sleeves use adjustable fastening to provide a flexible fit across different hose diameters.
This reusable design allows easy field installation and removal, making it a preferred choice for distributors, service contractors, and industrial users requiring adaptable fire protection solutions.
In continuous casting and rolling mill operations, fire sleeves protect hydraulic hoses from sustained high temperatures and flame exposure, ensuring reliable performance, reducing hose failure risks, and supporting stable operation in continuous production environments.
Mining machinery and heavy equipment operate under harsh conditions involving heat, vibration, and mechanical stress. Fire sleeves provide essential thermal protection for hydraulic hoses, improving system reliability and reducing downtime in demanding mining applications.
Fire sleeves are widely used in steel mills and metallurgical plants where hydraulic hoses are exposed to extreme radiant heat, molten metal splash, and hot surfaces, helping protect hose integrity and improve operational safety.
Kingdaflex fire sleeves are engineered with industrial-grade materials to deliver reliable protection in extreme high-temperature environments. Each fire sleeve is manufactured with a high-density fiberglass insulation layer that provides excellent thermal resistance and heat shielding for hydraulic hoses. The outer layer is coated with durable silicone rubber, offering strong flame resistance and protection against molten metal splash in metallurgical and heavy industrial applications.
Our fire sleeves are designed to withstand continuous exposure to high temperatures while maintaining flexibility and structural stability. In addition to heat and flame protection, the silicone-coated surface provides resistance to oil, ozone, moisture, and weathering, ensuring long service life in harsh operating conditions. This combination of materials and performance makes our fire sleeves suitable for OEM hose assemblies, bulk industrial use, and demanding safety-critical applications.
Temperature Range: 260°C – 1650°C; Continuous operating temperature: 500°F (260°C); Max short term exposure: 3000°F (1650°C).
Choosing the right hose protection depends on the operating environment and hose application. Key factors include abrasion level, temperature exposure, risk of flame or molten splash, hose outer diameter, and flexibility requirements.
Fire sleeves are suitable for high-temperature environments, while sheathing and spiral guards are ideal for abrasion-prone applications. Selecting protection that matches real working conditions ensures effective performance and long-term reliability.
Choosing the right fire sleeve depends on installation method, maintenance frequency, and application environment. Tube-style fire sleeves are ideal for OEM hose assemblies and permanent installations. Snap button, zipper, and hook & loop fire sleeves are suitable for retrofitting existing hoses or applications requiring frequent inspection, maintenance, or replacement in industrial facilities.
Yes, fire sleeves are widely used in OEM hydraulic hose assemblies. Tube-style fire sleeves are especially suitable for OEM production lines due to their fully enclosed structure and consistent dimensions. They can be integrated during hose assembly and crimping processes, providing long-term thermal protection for hydraulic systems used in heavy equipment and industrial machinery.
Fire sleeves can be fully customized for bulk and OEM orders. Customization options include inner diameter, length, wall thickness, performance level, color, and packaging. OEM branding and private labeling are also available. Working directly with an experienced manufacturer like Kingdaflex ensures stable quality, proper fitment, and reliable supply for large-volume industrial projects.
Snap button, zipper and hook & loop constructions open along their length for retrofit installation. Choose the closed diameter, overlap and seam position for the application. A tube-style sleeve needs access to an end and sufficient clearance over any fitting.
Measure the hose outside diameter and allow the installation clearance specified for the sleeve. For a tube fitted over an assembled hose, also measure the largest fitting it must pass over. Send these dimensions to confirm the sleeve size; nominal hose bore is not sufficient.
