Exhaust Manifold Covers

Manufactured using multi-layered heat-resistant materials, Kool Wrap manifold covers are purpose-built to withstand extreme temperatures, harsh conditions, and continuous heavy-duty operation. 

Why Use an Exhaust Manifold Cover?

Exhaust manifolds are one of the hottest components in any combustion engine. On large industrial engines or commercial trucks, the surface temperatures can reach several hundred degrees Celsius. This heat can pose serious risks in confined spaces such as mining tunnels, engine rooms, or equipment enclosures, where combustible materials, flammable fluids, or nearby personnel are exposed to danger. 

A high-quality manifold cover offers: 

• Fire risk reduction in regulated work environments 
• Thermal containment to reduce radiant heat exposure 
• Increased safety for technicians and operators 
• Protection of surrounding components like hoses, wiring, and sensors 
• Compliance with mine, marine, and industrial heat management standards 

Kool Wrap’s exhaust manifold insulation solutions are specifically tailored for Scania engines, Detroit Diesel engines, and a wide range of trucks, marine engines, and construction equipment. 

Applications and Industry Use 

Kool Wrap Exhaust Manifold Covers are used across a variety of high-risk and heavy-duty industries, including: 

• Mining and tunnelling equipment 
• Heavy transport trucks and diesel fleets 
• Marine vessels with diesel inboard engines 
• Earthmoving machinery such as graders, bulldozers, and excavators 
• Stationary industrial generators and compressors 
• Government-regulated machinery requiring flame-proofing of heat sources 

Each cover is designed to insulate the manifold while still allowing for necessary ventilation and service access, where applicable. 

Key Features and Construction 

Kool Wrap Exhaust Manifold Covers are built from premium-grade materials for maximum thermal efficiency, durability, and regulatory compliance. 

• Multi-layer insulation – Internal silica or fibreglass insulation for superior thermal resistance 
• High-temperature outer fabrics – Includes aluminium foil, silicone-coated fibreglass, and stainless-steel mesh options 
• Custom-fit designs – Tailored for specific engine models such as Detroit 6V92 and Scania G450 
• Wrap-around and panel configurations – For use on exhaust risers, manifolds, turbochargers, or exhaust elbows 
• Resistant to fluids and contaminants – Covers maintain integrity in the presence of oil, diesel, coolant, and marine moisture 
• Mechanical fastening options – High-strength straps, rivets, and clamps allow secure installation in rugged environments 
• Each unit is manufactured with performance, safety, and field-service compatibility in mind. 

Marine and Truck Engine Compatibility 

Kool Wrap manufactures exhaust manifold insulation covers for specific engine applications, including: 

• Detroit Diesel 6V92 – Exhaust riser covers and pipe blankets for marine engine bays 
• Scania G450 – Custom manifold heat shields designed to suit Scania truck engine configurations 
• Earthmoving and construction machinery – Covers tailored to fit exposed exhausts in heavy-duty vehicles 
• Marine diesel engines – Including riser blankets and manifold shields that meet boat safety and thermal standards 

Additional configurations are available on request for fleet operators, service workshops, and OEM manufacturers seeking fire-rated thermal solutions. 

Compliance with Fire Safety Regulations 

Modern worksite safety requirements, particularly in mining and marine operations, increasingly demand that hot engine components be covered or shielded. Kool Wrap’s exhaust manifold covers are designed to help operators meet these requirements by significantly reducing surface temperatures and limiting heat radiation. 

These covers can play a crucial role in complying with workplace health and safety regulations, insurance guidelines, and engine room fire-proofing standards. 

Built for Tough Conditions 

With decades of experience in engine heat shielding, Kool Wrap understands the needs of heavy industries. Each manifold cover is designed to survive real-world challenges such as: 

• Constant vibration 
• High thermal cycling 
• Oil and fuel exposure 
• Saltwater or marine humidity 
• Harsh environmental conditions in mining or off-road sites 

These heat shields are not only functional but also built to endure the conditions that standard wraps cannot withstand over time. 

Custom Solutions Available 

In addition to standard fitments for popular engines, Kool Wrap offers custom-manufactured heat shields and insulation covers tailored to specific applications. These may include: 

• Turbocharger blankets 
• Muffler and exhaust pipe covers 
• Exhaust elbow and riser blankets 
• Heat shields for tight or irregular engine bays 

Custom sizing, materials, and fastening methods are available to suit unique fleet or facility needs. 

The Professional’s Choice for Manifold Heat Management

Kool Wrap Exhaust Manifold Covers are a dependable solution for anyone seeking performance, protection, and compliance in heat-sensitive environments. Whether you operate a fleet of trucks, a marine engine room, or a mine site full of diesel-powered equipment, these covers provide the insulation and safety required to keep your systems running efficiently and safely.
