Stainless Bros 1.625in SS321 90 Degree Mandrel Bend Elbow 1.5D - 16GA/.065in Wall - No Leg

Stainless Bros is known for making a lot of stainless steel exhaust components, and this 90-degree mandrel bend elbow is a good example of their work. It’s made from SS321 stainless steel, which is a popular choice for exhaust systems because it holds up well to high temperatures and resists corrosion. This particular piece has a 1.625-inch outer diameter and a 16-gauge wall thickness, which is about .065 inches. The 1.5D designation refers to the bend radius, meaning the center of the tube bends on a radius of 1.5 times the tube's diameter. This is a tighter bend than some other options, so it’s useful when you need to make a sharp turn in a limited space.

Because it’s a mandrel bend, the inside of the curve stays round and doesn’t collapse, which is important for maintaining good exhaust flow. This elbow doesn’t have any legs, meaning the ends are cut straight, making it easy to weld or connect to other tubing sections. It’s a straightforward piece for anyone building a custom exhaust system, whether for a car, truck, or other application where you need to route exhaust piping.
