Default Heat shield for wiring

am looking for a good quality heat shield to wrap O2 sensor wiring in. have seen sleeves, and sheets and 55 different brands. Too many to choose from and don t want to order the wrong one. if anyone has input i would appreciate it. am thinking i need 3ft. 4ft max, dosen t matter if sheets or sleeves. as long as it seals to itself and keep from melting wires.

TIA

I used either the 1/4" or 3/8" shield:

You could call Omega Engineering at 1-888-826-6342. They sell thermocouple wires that have heat shieldeing already that could be used as an electrical wire for your sensor. This company makes high-tech thermal products for government and industry. They can easily fix you up.

One of our favorite heat wraps to use on wiring/spark plug wires/fuel lines is called Hot Rod Sleeve made by Heatshield Products. It expands to fit over connectors, withstands 1,100*F continuous and blends into an engine bay perfectly. You can usually find short lengths in different diameters on amazon/ebay.
