Subject: Hoses: Firesleeve, stainless, bare?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

I wanted to take this time to ping the group and determine a course of 
action. I am getting ready to order my hoses and material and wanted to 
inquire about firesleeving on oil and fuel lines. I have noticed several 
pics that have just stainless braided lines on the engines. What is the 
conventional wisdom... and what would an A&P do (if there are some here).
 
I am inclined to believe the stainless is more for looks, and abrasion 
resistance... but doesn't really add much in the fire-proofing or 
fire-resistance category. Aircraft Spruce sells firesleeving that is 
supposed to give 15 minutes direct flame resistance.
 
Any guidance, experience or data would be appreciated.
