What is a 1.5D bend radius?

A 1.5D bend radius means the center of the tube follows a curve with a radius that is 1.5 times the tube's outer diameter. For this 1-inch tube, the bend radius is 1.5 inches.

Why is mandrel bending important for exhaust tubing?

Mandrel bending uses a solid core (mandrel) inside the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring the internal diameter remains consistent and airflow is not restricted.

What material is this tubing made from?

This tubing is made from stainless steel, which offers good resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for exhaust applications.

About this part

Product Details

This is a 1-inch diameter, 180-degree mandrel bend tube from Stainless Bros. It features a 1.5D bend radius, meaning the center of the tube follows a curve with a radius of 1.5 times the tube's diameter. Each leg extends 6 inches from the center of the bend, making it a useful component for custom exhaust systems or other fabrication projects where a tight, smooth bend is needed.

Mandrel bending is important because it helps maintain the tube's internal diameter throughout the bend, preventing kinks or flattening that can restrict exhaust flow. This is crucial for performance applications where maintaining smooth airflow is key. The stainless steel construction offers good resistance to corrosion, which is beneficial for exhaust components exposed to road salt and moisture.
