Evernew 1.3L — Handle insulation sliding?

I have used silicone glow fuel tubing on the handles of Snow Peak titanium cups; it is intended for the fuel lines of model airplanes and is designed to withstand engine heat. The type with a 1/8” internal diameter fits snugly on the handles and can be worked on with a little effort if you wet the handles first with water or silicone lubricant. Once it’s in place, the tubing doesn’t move and it provides a good grip. It is available in other diameters if the bail of your cup or pot is a different size. The Du-Bro brand is most common, and you can find it in any hobby shop or sold by the foot on eBay.

Now that’s some solid info, right there.  Thanks!!

I’m going to try the silicon fuel-line solution. I’ll let you all know how it turns out…..stay tuned.

Please do; I used my 1.3 all weekend and nearly had a mental episode over the insulation sliding around.

I just tried the silicone fuel line on my Evernew pasta pot as the red grips had torn.

On the bright side the silicone tubing is a perfect solution for this, but the 1/8″ I.D. tubing is slightly large for the Evernew handles. It still slips, but not as bad as the originals. I have some of the 3/32″ I.D. tubing on order and am hoping that’s a better fit.

If those handles are the same size as the 1.3L handles, the .125″ ID hose will be just over .01″ too large.  3/32″ should be very snug.

3/32″ worked perfectly on my Evernew pasta pot. I pushed a little pit of foaming hand soap down the tube as lubricant and gripped the tubing with a kitchen towel. Once the soap fully dries there’s little or no movement. Outer diameter is a bit larger than the original, but the handles still fold down reasonably well.

Note that Du-Bro labels this size as “medium” just in case someone goes looking for it and cant find the inner diameter listed. 3/32″ isn’t printed anywhere on the packaging.

Thanks, Andrew: I was planning on ordering tonight and found some measurement-less sizes when I went looking. 👍

I tried silicone  1/8” internal diameter Du-Bro. Works great! It did take a little effort to get the stuff on. Now the handles are no longer hot, and, more comfortable (soft) than before. Thumbs up!
