What is a UJ (U-joint) bend?

A UJ bend, also known as a U-joint bend, is a type of exhaust tubing bend that allows for a tighter radius turn. It's often used in custom exhaust fabrication where space is limited or specific routing is required.

Why is SS304 stainless steel used for exhaust tubing?

SS304 stainless steel is a popular choice for exhaust components because it offers good resistance to corrosion and heat. This helps the tubing last longer in the harsh environment under a vehicle.

What does 'mandrel bend' mean for exhaust tubing?

Mandrel bending means the tubing is supported internally during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a consistent inner diameter throughout the bend, which is crucial for optimal exhaust flow.

About this part

Product Details

This is a 2.5-inch U-joint (UJ) mandrel bend from Stainless Bros, made from SS304 stainless steel. It features a tight 1.5D radius and a 16-gauge wall thickness, which is .065 inches. This type of tubing is commonly used by fabricators when building custom exhaust systems, allowing for smooth bends without kinking.

The SS304 stainless steel construction means it's well-built to resist corrosion, making it a solid choice for exhaust components that need to hold up to road conditions and heat. The mandrel bending process ensures that the diameter of the tubing stays consistent throughout the bend, which is important for maintaining good exhaust flow. This is a popular option for custom exhaust work where precise bends are needed.
