How do I size a sleeve properly to fit the hose?

Size selection should be based on the hose/bundle outside diameter plus allowance for movement, bend radius, and installation method. A sleeve that is too tight can restrict hose movement and increase wear at routing points.

Quick sizing steps

• Measure hose/bundle O.D. at the installation location.
• Add allowance if the hose flexes or moves during operation.
• Consider routing constraints: clamps, brackets, corners, and nearby heat sources.

When to oversize

• High vibration or frequent movement
• Complex bends or tight routing
• Installation requires sliding over fittings or connectors

If your application includes heat/flame exposure near exhaust routing, start with: Fire Sleeve and review: Quality Guarantee.
