What is a Sleeve?

Sleeves in HVAC Systems

In Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, sleeves are a type of electrical connector used to join wires together at the point where they need to be connected. Designed for high-temperature applications, sleeves provide a reliable and secure connection between dissimilar wire materials, such as copper and aluminum. By protecting these high-value connections from damage or corrosion, sleeves help prevent short circuits, electrical shocks, and system failures that can occur when wiring is damaged or degraded. In HVAC systems, sleeve connectors are typically used to join electrical wires to compressors, fans, and other critical equipment, ensuring a safe and reliable power supply to these vital systems.
