What is a 1D radius bend?

A 1D radius bend means the center of the bend is one times the diameter of the tubing away from the tube's outer edge. For this 3-inch tube, it creates a very tight, compact turn.

Why is mandrel bending important for exhaust tubing?

Mandrel bending uses a solid core to support the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring the internal diameter stays consistent and exhaust flow is not restricted.

What does 'no leg' mean for this bend?

A 'no leg' bend indicates that there isn't an extended straight section on either side of the curved portion. This type of bend is typically used when the curve needs to transition directly into another component or a specific mounting point.

About this part

Product Details

Stainless Bros is known for providing quality stainless steel exhaust components. This particular piece is a 3-inch diameter mandrel bend, offering a tight 1D radius turn. It's constructed from 16-gauge steel with a .065-inch wall thickness, making it a solid choice for custom exhaust fabrication projects where precise bending is crucial.

The mandrel bending process ensures that the tube maintains its full diameter through the bend, preventing any kinks or restrictions that could impede exhaust flow. This is important for performance, as a smooth, unobstructed path helps gases exit the engine efficiently. The lack of a leg on this bend means it's designed for specific connection points where a straight section isn't needed before or after the curve.
