What is a mandrel bend?

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible internal support (a mandrel) that holds the tube's shape during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a consistent inner diameter throughout the bend for better exhaust flow.

What does 1.5D radius mean?

The 'D' in 1.5D refers to the outer diameter of the tubing. A 1.5D radius means the center of the bend is 1.5 times the tubing's outer diameter away from the tube's centerline. A lower D value, like 1.5D, indicates a tighter bend compared to a larger D value.

What is 16-gauge steel?

16-gauge steel is a common thickness for exhaust tubing, offering durability for custom applications. It's thick enough to withstand exhaust temperatures and vibrations but still manageable for welding and fabrication.

About this part

Product Details

Stainless Bros is known for providing a wide range of stainless steel exhaust components. This particular piece is a 2.13-inch outer diameter, 90-degree mandrel bend elbow, designed for custom exhaust fabrication. The 1.5D radius means it has a tighter bend, which can be useful when space is limited in a custom exhaust system.

This elbow is constructed from 16-gauge steel with a wall thickness of .065 inches, offering a good balance of strength and workability for welding and fitting. Mandrel bending ensures that the tube maintains its diameter throughout the bend, preventing kinks and improving exhaust flow compared to crush bends. This is important for custom exhaust builds where consistent pipe diameter is key to performance.
