What is a mandrel bend and why is it important for exhaust systems?

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible mandrel inside the tubing during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, maintaining its inner diameter and allowing for smoother exhaust gas flow compared to crush bends.

What does '1.5D' and '2.82in CLR' mean for this bend?

The '1.5D' refers to the bend radius being 1.5 times the tube's outer diameter. The '2.82in CLR' specifies the centerline radius in inches, indicating the precise curve of the bend.

What is the benefit of the leg on this exhaust bend?

The leg on this bend is an extension of the tubing that makes it simpler to join with another piece of exhaust pipe. It provides a surface for welding or connecting with a clamp, streamlining the fabrication process.

About this part

Product Details

Stainless Bros is known for providing a wide range of stainless steel exhaust components. This 90-degree mandrel bend is a key piece for custom exhaust fabrication, allowing you to create smooth, flowing bends without kinking the tubing.

This particular bend features a 1.88-inch outer diameter and is made from 16-gauge steel, which offers a good balance of strength and workability for exhaust systems. The 1.5D (1.5 times the diameter) radius means it's a tighter bend, useful for fitting into tighter spaces, and the 2.82-inch centerline radius gives you a specific turning arc. The included leg makes it easier to connect to other sections of tubing.

Mandrel bending is important because it maintains the tube's inner diameter through the bend, unlike crush bends which can restrict exhaust flow. This helps ensure your custom exhaust system performs as efficiently as possible.
