What is a mandrel bend and why is it important for exhaust tubing?

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible mandrel inserted inside the tubing during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, maintaining its original diameter and wall thickness. This is important for exhaust systems because it ensures smooth airflow and prevents restrictions.

What does 1.5D / 3.5in CLR mean for this bend?

The 1.5D refers to the bend radius being 1.5 times the tube's diameter. For a 2.36-inch tube, this results in a 3.5-inch centerline radius (CLR). This measurement indicates how tightly the tube is bent.

What material is this exhaust tubing bend made from?

This exhaust tubing bend is constructed from stainless steel. This material is chosen for its good resistance to rust and corrosion, which is beneficial for exhaust components exposed to heat and moisture.

About this part

Product Details

This 90-degree bend from Stainless Bros is made with 2.36-inch diameter tubing, featuring a 1.5D (1.5 times the tube diameter) bend radius, which results in a 3.5-inch centerline radius. This tight bend radius is achieved through a mandrel bending process, ensuring the tube maintains its round shape and wall thickness throughout the curve, which is crucial for smooth exhaust flow and preventing kinks.

The tubing itself is constructed from stainless steel, offering good resistance to corrosion and heat, making it a solid choice for custom exhaust systems, headers, or other fabrication projects where durability and a clean look are important. Each leg of the 90-degree bend measures 6.5 inches, providing ample length for connecting to other exhaust components or for custom routing.
