What does '1.5D / 3in CLR' mean for this exhaust bend?

The '1.5D' refers to the Bend Factor, indicating the ratio of the bend's centerline radius to the tube's outer diameter. '3in CLR' specifies the actual centerline radius is 3 inches. This tight radius allows for a compact bend, useful in tight exhaust routing.

Why is mandrel bending important for exhaust tubing?

Mandrel bending uses a support inside the tube to maintain its shape and internal diameter during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring unrestricted exhaust flow and maintaining the intended performance of the system.

What are the advantages of using stainless steel for exhaust tubing?

Stainless steel offers good resistance to corrosion from moisture and exhaust byproducts, as well as heat. This durability helps extend the lifespan of the exhaust system compared to some other materials.

About this part

Product Details

This 180-degree exhaust bend from Stainless Bros is made from 2.0-inch diameter tubing with a 1.5 Bend Factor (1.5D), meaning the center of the tube follows a radius of 3 inches. The tight 3-inch centerline radius allows for a compact bend, making it useful for fitting exhaust systems into tight spaces or for custom routing.

The tubing itself is constructed from stainless steel, which offers good resistance to corrosion and heat, making it a solid choice for exhaust applications. Each bend is created using a mandrel process, which helps maintain the tube's internal diameter and shape throughout the curve, preventing kinks or flattening that could restrict exhaust flow. This particular bend features two 6-inch legs, providing ample length for connecting to other exhaust components.
