Ansell 11290180-W Kevlar Protective Sleeve Universal

Product Description

The ANSELL 11290180-W is a Kevlar protective sleeve designed to protect the forearm and lower arm during work involving heat, abrasion, and cut hazards. At 18 inches in overall length with an elastic opening at both ends, the sleeve stays securely in place during active use. Rated ANSI/ISEA Abrasion Resistance Level 3, it is suited for trades where arm protection is required alongside gloves. HVAC techs, electricians, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, and other trades commonly use sleeves of this type when working around sharp edges, rough surfaces, or moderate heat sources.

This sleeve is used in residential and commercial applications wherever forearm protection is needed. The universal size and elastic closures make it a practical addition to a job site PPE kit. It is commonly paired with cut-resistant or heat-resistant gloves and worn during ductwork installation, conduit routing, pipe fitting, or any task where the arm is exposed to abrasive or sharp materials. The sleeve weighs 0.06 pounds, making it lightweight enough for extended wear.

Installation Notes

Protective sleeves are installed by the worker as part of a PPE ensemble and do not require tools. Inspect the sleeve before each use for tears, fraying, or loss of elasticity that could compromise protection. Replace immediately if damage is found. Consult applicable OSHA and job site safety requirements to confirm the sleeve meets the required protection level for the specific hazard present.
