What is a mandrel bend?

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible internal support (the mandrel) that prevents the tubing from collapsing or kinking during the bending process. This ensures the inside diameter stays consistent throughout the bend, which is crucial for optimal exhaust flow.

What does 1.5D radius mean?

The '1.5D' refers to the radius of the bend. It means the center of the bend is 1.5 times the tube's outer diameter away from the tube's centerline. This indicates a moderate curve, as opposed to a tighter or wider radius bend.

What is SS304 stainless steel?

SS304 is a common grade of stainless steel known for its good resistance to corrosion and rust. It's a popular choice for exhaust components because it holds up well to the heat and moisture found in exhaust systems.

About this part

Product Details

This is a 45-degree elbow made from SS304 stainless steel tubing by Stainless Bros. It has an outer diameter of 1.625 inches and a wall thickness of 16 gauge, which is .065 inches. This piece is designed for exhaust fabrication projects where you need to create a smooth bend.

The tubing is mandrel-bent, meaning it maintains its shape and diameter through the bend without collapsing. This is important for exhaust flow, as it helps prevent restrictions. The 1.5D radius means the center of the bend is 1.5 times the tube diameter away from the tube's centerline, offering a moderate curve suitable for many custom exhaust setups. Since it has no legs, you'll need to weld it directly to other tubing sections.
