Use these instructions to install Thermal Zero Exhaust Heat Wrap. Failure to follow installation instructions properly may result in an inferior product experience and/or void manufacturer’s warranty.

Before you begin, you’ll need:

Thermal Zero Header Wrap

Calculate how much wrap you’ll need for your project using this Heat Wrap Calculator

Thermal Zero Stainless Steels

You’ll need stainless steel ties to secure the wrap at the beginning and ending of the pipe.

Latex Gloves

Exhaust wrap is very fibrous and it is highly recommended you use latex gloves when installing your heat wrap.

Wrapping a pipe properly can be very time consuming to make it look good, so take your time and don’t get frustrated! Just make sure your wraps are tight and even for the best appearance.

Some people choose to soak the heat wrap in water before wrapping a pipe – this can be helpful, but it’s not necessary.

Steps to install:

1. Take out the wrap from the packaging. Use the exhaust wrap calculator in the Tech section of our website to make sure you have enough wrap to cover your project.!
2. You may soak the wrap in water first to make easier to wrap the pipe tightly but this is not necessary.
3. Start by wrapping the desired pipe with about ½” overlap depending on the width of wrap you are using then secure your first wrap with a Thermal Zero Stainless Steel Zip Tie to hold it in place! !
4. Every wrap you make down the pipe after that initial wrap needs to be ¼” – ½” of overlap. This also depends on if you are trying to wrap a pipe that curves. If the pipe has a drastic curve you may want to overlap more to make sure you do not create a bare spot that has not been covered with heat wrap. Our wrap is designed to disperse heat across the covered area and not create hot spots on the pipe if you have too much of an overlap.!
5. Finish the section of wrap by cutting of any excess wrap and securing your work in place with another Thermal Zero Stainless Steel Zip Tie. After reinstalling the pipe start the engine, while the engine is running the heat wrap will start the “Set up” process and may smoke or steam for short period of time but this is completely NORMAL.

Maintenance and Cleaning

When cleaning your wrap DO NOT use a pressure washer or high pressure water of any sort as it an loosen the exhaust wrap fibers. Instead take a damp cloth and wipe debris or dirt from the wrap.
