D David-aviator Well Known Member Apr 4, 2013 #5 I am missing something here. If there is a leak at the pressure sense line and it ignites, how will the sleeve make it a better deal than not having the sleeve?

Brantel Well Known Member Apr 4, 2013 #6 It serves to protect the line in case there is already a fire... Like an oil fire for example.
