What is SS321 stainless steel?

SS321 is a type of stainless steel that includes titanium. This addition helps prevent carbide precipitation at high temperatures, making it more resistant to corrosion and cracking in demanding exhaust environments.

What does '1.5D radius' mean for this bend?

The '1.5D' refers to the bend radius. It means the center of the bend is 1.5 times the tube's diameter away from the tube's centerline. For a 2.25-inch tube, this creates a relatively tight bend, useful for fitting into compact areas.

What is the advantage of mandrel bending?

Mandrel bending uses a 'mandrel' inside the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring the internal diameter remains consistent throughout the bend. This consistency is crucial for maintaining optimal exhaust flow.

About this part

Product Details

Stainless Bros is known for providing quality stainless steel exhaust components, and this 2.25-inch, 45-degree mandrel bend elbow is a prime example. If you're building a custom exhaust system or repairing an existing one, having a well-made bend like this makes the job much smoother. It's made from SS321 stainless steel, which is a strong material that holds up well to high temperatures and corrosive exhaust gases.

This elbow features a 1.5D radius, meaning the center of the bend is 1.5 times the diameter of the tubing away from the tube's centerline. This tighter radius is useful when you need to make a sharp turn in a tight space. The tubing itself is 16-gauge thick, or .065 inches, which is a solid wall thickness for exhaust applications, offering a good balance between strength and ease of welding. The mandrel bending process ensures the tube's diameter stays consistent throughout the bend, preventing kinks and maintaining good exhaust flow.
