  • Product Description
    ThermFlex® 1229 is a knitted sleeve developed for insulation of high temperature exhaust systems. Designed with basalt yarns, ThermFlex 1229 can withstand temperatures up to +750ºC (+1382ºF).

    The high degree of insulation provided by ThermFlex 1229 enables exhaust gas to maintain temperature as it moves through the exhaust system. Maintenance of exhaust gas temperature is important in order to ensure complete conversion of exhaust gas and particulates. Complete conversion is necessary to meet the increasingly strict emission regulations set in place by government mandate.

    With a highly customizable design, ThermFlex 1229 can be tailored to increase durability and expandability, contour around bends, accommodate brackets/breakouts/sensors/etc., and have distinct areas of variable performance.



    ThermFlex 1229’s customized designs improve the fit of the product and reduce installation time.
