Stainless Bros 3in SS321 45 Deg Mandrel Bend Elbow - 1.5D Radius 16GA/.065in Wall 2in Leg / 2in Leg

What you get here is a single 3-inch diameter, 45-degree mandrel bend elbow from Stainless Bros. This piece is constructed from SS321 stainless steel, which is known for its good performance in high-temperature exhaust applications. It features a 1.5D radius, meaning the center of the bend is 1.5 times the tube's diameter away from the tube's centerline, and has 2-inch legs on each end. The wall thickness is 16 gauge, or about .065 inches, making it a solid choice for custom exhaust work where durability and heat resistance are important.

This elbow is made using a mandrel bending process. That means a mandrel is inserted inside the tube during bending, which helps prevent the tube from collapsing or kinking. This keeps the inside diameter consistent throughout the bend, ensuring smooth exhaust flow. The SS321 material is a popular choice for exhaust components because it contains titanium, which helps prevent carbide precipitation at high temperatures, improving its corrosion resistance in exhaust environments.
