Stainless Bros 2in SS321 45 Degree Mandrel Bend Elbow 1D - 16GA/.065in Wall - Leg

This 2-inch diameter elbow from Stainless Bros is made from SS321 stainless steel, a material known for its good performance in high-temperature exhaust applications. The 1D radius means the bend is tight, with the center of the tube bending over a distance equal to its diameter, making it useful for fitting into tight spaces in custom exhaust systems. It features a 16-gauge wall thickness, which is .065 inches, offering a solid balance between strength and weight for fabrication projects.

The mandrel bending process ensures that the tube maintains its full diameter throughout the bend, preventing any kinking or restriction that could impede exhaust flow. This is crucial for custom exhaust builds where maintaining smooth airflow is key to performance. The SS321 alloy also offers improved resistance to oxidation and corrosion compared to standard 304 stainless steel, especially at elevated temperatures, making it a good choice for exhaust components that see a lot of heat.
