What is a mandrel bend?

A mandrel bend is created using a "mandrel" inside the tube during the bending process. This internal support prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a smooth, consistent inner diameter throughout the bend. This is important for maintaining exhaust flow.

Why is SS304 stainless steel used for exhaust parts?

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

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

The '1.5D' refers to the radius of the bend relative to the tube's diameter. A 1.5D radius means the center of the bend is 1.5 times the tube's diameter away from the tube's centerline. This results in a tighter bend compared to larger radius bends, which can be useful for fitting into tight spaces.

About this part

Product Details

If you're building a custom exhaust system, getting the bends just right is key. This 45-degree mandrel bend elbow from Stainless Bros is designed to help you achieve smooth transitions in your tubing.

It's made from SS304 stainless steel, which is a well-known material for exhaust components because it holds up well against heat and corrosion. The 1.5D radius means it has a tighter bend, which can be useful when space is limited. This elbow is a 16-gauge (.065 inch) wall thickness, offering a good balance of strength and workability for fabrication projects. Mandrel bending ensures the tube's diameter stays consistent through the bend, preventing kinks and maintaining good exhaust flow.
