DEI Versa Shield Starter Heat Shield 7in x 2ft Universal

Protect starters with the DEI Versa-Shield (Starter Shield) 7in x 2ft Universal Heat Shield, reducing under-hood heat soak to improve starter reliability and minimize heat-related failures.

The DEI Versa-Shield was designed specifically to protect starters from potential failure caused by elevated under-hood temperatures. Its combination of materials and construction targets radiant and conductive heat transfer to preserve electrical and mechanical starter performance.

• Aluminized heat-reflective material: Reflects radiant heat away from the starter housing, reducing the thermal load and helping maintain component temperatures within reliable operating limits.
• Hi-temp rated glass fiber insulation barrier: Provides a thermal break between the heat source and the starter, interrupting conductive heat transfer and helping prevent heat soak during prolonged engine operation.
• Rated to reflect radiant heat up to 2000°F: Offers measurable resistance to extreme radiant temperatures commonly encountered in proximity to exhaust and turbo systems, contributing to long-term starter durability.
• Universal 7in x 2ft size: Provides ample coverage for most starter arrangements and allows for trimming or custom placement for specific installations.
• DEI brand engineering: Designed by DEI with a focus on thermal management solutions used in high-performance and OEM applications.

Installation is straightforward: position the shield between the starter and the primary heat source, then secure using existing fasteners or appropriate stainless hardware (hardware not included). The flexible construction permits contouring around housings and adjacent components for a tailored fit.

Use the DEI Versa-Shield where under-hood heat soak, proximity to exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, or prolonged idling can impair starter reliability. Its reflective and insulative layers work together to lower the effective thermal exposure to the starter without introducing bulky or rigid barriers.
