Can anyone tell me the proper size firesleeve to use on pre-made hoses (hoses with crimped on ends, than can not be removed to install the firesleeve)? Looking at Aircraft Spruces catalog the list the ID of the firesleeve, the real question to anyone who has installed this stuff would be does it stretch at all? I have a fuel return line where the OD of the actual hose is .32", but the distance across the points of the end fitting is .62. Should I buy a firesleeve with an ID of .5 or .625, will the .5 firesleeve stretch without damage? Thanks in advance....
Thanks, Jason Kreidler

Jason, I cannot answer your question ..... not enough experience .....
but I can help you get it installed. Put one end of the firesleeve on
one fitting, and crimp over the other end. Put your air gun into the
other fitting and the resulting air pressure will expand the firesleeve
so it can be pushed onto the hose. Not easy to do by yourself, though.

Buy the larger size. The fire sleeve needs to be secured to the end fittings with bands so it will need to slide over them. If you stretch the length in the middle the diameter will shrink somewhat, but part of the fire protection is the air space between the hose and the fire sleeve so you want the sleeve not to be overly tight.

This is probably too late for you but next time, just exclude the hoses from the Van's FWF kit and purchase the integral firesleeve hose kit from aircrafthose.com. The cost for the kit of all hoses with integral firesleeve is less than the cost of regular hoses from Vans in the FWF kit.

I agree with William, and thank him for itemizing the list of needed
hoses. I have PHT hoses on my Mooney...far superior to standard
hoses...lighter, easier to install, look great, take less space, and
have indefinite life.
