Not to be fatalistic, but nomex is not going to help much when you are breathing toxic smoke.
Very compelling argument against its use for furniture, or seats in large aircraft where you could be trying to escape the area, but in the context of an RV, if the seat cushion you are sitting on is burning and producing lethal gases, I think you are probably already out of luck anyway.
While I tend to agree in principle, I feel that it would be a real shame if a small heat source turned into a large, fatal fire because of poor choices in cabin materials. An example of this might be a small electrical heat source such as a bad seat heater circuit or cell-phone battery fire that may be somewhat manageable on it's own but spreads to a flammable seat and causes a larger more dangerous fire because we chose to use inappropriate materials in the cabin.

Getting pretty far from fire-sleeved hoses. I'm just sayin'
Yea, especially if you include all the talk of firewall insulation, firewall heat valves, etc....

Gary---you can buy the firesleeve and bands, AND the banding tool from Spruce and do it yourself, maybe find a buddy that has one, or send us the hoses and we'll do it for you.
