Stainless Bros 2.5in Diameter 1D / 2.5in CLR 2in Leg / 2in Leg Mandrel Bend

Stainless Bros is known for providing quality fabrication components, and this mandrel bend tubing is a solid example. This piece is designed for custom exhaust systems or other fabrication projects where you need a specific bend radius. It features a 2.5-inch diameter with a 1D bend, meaning the center of the tube follows a radius equal to one times its diameter. The legs on either side of the bend are 2 inches long, giving you ample material to work with for welding and fitting.

The key benefit here is the mandrel bending process. Unlike crush bends, mandrel bending uses a support inside the tube to maintain its shape and diameter throughout the bend. This ensures consistent flow and prevents kinks, which is crucial for exhaust systems where backpressure and flow efficiency matter. The material is steel, making it durable and ready for welding into your custom setup.
