What is a 1.5D radius bend?

A 1.5D radius bend means the center line of the bend follows a curve with a radius that is 1.5 times the outer diameter of the tubing. For this 1.25-inch tube, the bend radius is approximately 1.875 inches.

Why is mandrel bending important for exhaust tubing?

Mandrel bending uses a mandrel inside the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a smooth, consistent inner diameter that is crucial for optimal exhaust flow and performance.

What is SS304 stainless steel commonly used for in exhaust systems?

SS304 stainless steel is a popular choice for exhaust components due to its good resistance to corrosion and heat. It holds up well against the harsh conditions found in exhaust systems, helping to extend the life of custom fabrications.

About this part

Product Details

This is a 1.25-inch diameter exhaust tubing bend from Stainless Bros, made from SS304 stainless steel. It features a 15-degree angle with a 1.5D radius, meaning the center of the tube follows a curve with a radius 1.5 times the tube's outer diameter. The tubing wall is 16-gauge, which is 0.065 inches thick, and each leg of the bend is 6.5 inches long. This type of pre-bent tubing is commonly used by fabricators to create custom exhaust systems, allowing for cleaner bends and easier assembly compared to bending raw tubing from scratch.

The SS304 stainless steel construction offers good corrosion resistance, making it a solid choice for exhaust components that are exposed to heat and moisture. The mandrel bending process ensures that the tube maintains its diameter and shape throughout the bend, preventing kinks or restrictions that could impede exhaust flow. This is important for performance and sound quality in a custom exhaust setup.
