Snap Closure Fire Sleeve

Product Overview

Removable Fire Protection for Installed Components

LXHTR Snap Closure Fire Sleeves are designed for hydraulic hoses, industrial pipes, cables and wiring systems that cannot be disconnected during installation. Constructed from a high-bulk fiberglass sleeve coated with thick silicone rubber and secured by metal snap fasteners, these sleeves provide reliable thermal protection while allowing quick installation, inspection and maintenance.

Unlike standard fire sleeves that require components to be threaded through the sleeve before assembly, the snap closure design wraps directly around existing equipment, minimizing downtime and simplifying retrofit projects.

Core Design Features

• Metal Snap Closure System — Durable metal snap fasteners provide secure mechanical locking even in environments exposed to molten splash, welding sparks and vibration.
• Thick Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Construction — Combines excellent thermal insulation with flame resistance, helping protect hoses, cables and pipes from radiant heat and direct flame exposure.
• Easy Retrofit Installation — Wrap-around design allows installation on existing equipment without disconnecting hydraulic lines, cables or pipe assemblies.
• Re-Openable for Maintenance — The sleeve can be repeatedly opened and closed for inspection, servicing or replacement, reducing maintenance time.

Key Advantages

• Superior Resistance to Molten Splash — Suitable for steel mills, foundries and welding operations where exposure to sparks and molten metal droplets is common.
• Reduced Downtime — No need to remove hoses or dismantle equipment during installation.
• Flexible and Lightweight — Provides protection without significantly increasing hose bundle weight or stiffness.
• Resistant to Industrial Contaminants — Repels hydraulic oils, lubricants, fuels and many industrial chemicals.
• Outdoor Durability — Excellent resistance to ozone, UV exposure and weathering.
