What is a mandrel bend?

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible internal support, called a mandrel, that prevents the tubing from collapsing or kinking during the bending process. This ensures the inside of the bend remains smooth and round, which is important for maintaining exhaust flow.

What is SS321 stainless steel good for?

SS321 stainless steel is a common choice for exhaust systems because it offers good resistance to high temperatures and corrosion. This makes it suitable for the demanding environment under your vehicle.

What does '1D radius' mean for this elbow?

The '1D radius' refers to the tightness of the bend. It means the center of the bend is one diameter of the tubing away from the tube's edge. This allows for a more compact turn in your exhaust routing.

About this part

Product Details

If you're fabricating a custom exhaust system, you'll need a clean way to change direction. This 45-degree elbow from Stainless Bros is designed for just that. It's made from SS321 stainless steel, which is a popular choice for exhaust components because it holds up well to high temperatures and resists corrosion.

This particular bend has a 1D radius, meaning the center of the bend is one diameter away from the tube's edge. This tighter radius allows you to make sharper turns in your exhaust routing, which can be helpful when space is limited. The tubing itself is 16 gauge, or 0.065 inches thick, providing a solid foundation for your fabrication project. Since it's a mandrel bend, the inside of the curve stays round and smooth, promoting good exhaust flow without restrictions.
