Abstract
A firesleeve assembly as used with hose systems, such as pressurized fuel, lubricating and hydraulic circuits. The cut end of a firesleeve utilizing a fibrous material such as glass fiber is enclosed and sealed by a cuff sleeve having a portion located upon the hose, or an associated fitting, wherein a portion of the cuff sleeve is located within the firesleeve adjacent the cut end and another portion of the cuff sleeve is folded over the cut end locating an outer cuff sleeve portion over the outer diameter of the firesleeve and enclosing the firesleeve end. Preferably, an annular clamp circumscribes the cuff sleeve to produce sealing between the cuff sleeve, firesleeve and hose system preventing moisture or liquids from entering the firesleeve end.
