How much heat to melt wire loom/wires? Pusher fan

[Dyesuperman]

Over the weekend I reinstalled my ac condenser (previous owner took out ac, I am putting it back in) and while I was at it I installed a fan I had lying around. It pretty much fit perfectly in the spot and I didn't need to bolt it onto anything for it to stay, just ziptied one hole to a spot on the front bar where the bumper bolts on just in case. Anyhow, my hid wiring and the wiring for the fan touches the ac condenser in a few spots, will it get hot enough to melt those wires? I still need to reinstall the rest of the ac stuff so I have time to move things around, but I like the way it is now and would like to keep it that way. Here is a picture for you visual folks.

I would wrap it in something else if your unsure, check out wirecare.com for some information.

Can you just put loom onto the wires and ziptie it so it doesn't touch?

The wires already have loom around them but they still touch the condenser. I am just worried that it might melt through the loom and into the wires because I don't know how hot it actually gets or how much heat it takes to melt plastic wire loom

It's not going to get hot enough to melt anything. I wouldn't sweat it.

How this setup with the pusher fans? How's the temperature and is that a 14"? Planning to run pusher to.

No idea how hot the A/C condenser gets, but I bet a down pipe is hotter. And the pieces of factory loom I have around my alternators charging wires has been fine, despite it being only a couple inches away. You're probably fine, however covering it with some of the heat reflective wire loom isn't a bad idea. (I need to do that to the mentioned wires, but it's on the back burner at the moment since their not melting.
