What is a mandrel bend?

A mandrel bend is created using a mandrel inside the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a smooth, consistent inner diameter throughout the bend for better airflow.

What does '1D radius' mean for this bend?

A 1D radius means the center of the bend is one tube diameter away from the outer wall of the tube. This results in a tighter, sharper bend compared to larger radius bends, which is often necessary for custom exhaust routing in tight spaces.

About this part

Product Details

If you're fabricating a custom exhaust system, you'll need precise bends to route your tubing effectively. This 90-degree mandrel bend elbow from Stainless Bros is designed for that purpose. It's made from SS321 stainless steel, which is known for its good resistance to high temperatures and corrosion, making it a solid choice for exhaust components.

The 1D radius means the bend is tight, with the center of the bend being one diameter away from the tube's outer wall. This is useful when space is limited or you need a sharp turn. The tubing itself is 16 gauge thick, or .065 inches, which offers a good balance between strength and weldability for exhaust work. Mandrel bending ensures the tube maintains its shape and diameter through the bend, preventing kinks and maintaining smooth airflow, which is crucial for exhaust performance.
