Vibrant 1.625in (1-5/8in) O.D. T304 SS U-Bend (1.625in Centerline Radius)

When you're building a custom exhaust system or repairing a section that needs a tight, 180-degree turn, this U-bend from Vibrant is a solid choice. It's made from 304 stainless steel, which is known for holding up well against heat and corrosive conditions, making it a great material for exhaust work. The 1.625-inch outer diameter and 1.625-inch centerline radius mean you can create some pretty compact bends without kinking the tubing.

This U-bend is mandrel-bent, so the tubing maintains its shape and diameter through the bend, which helps keep exhaust flow as smooth as possible. The 16-gauge wall thickness offers a good balance between strength and ease of fabrication. Because it's stainless steel, it requires minimal prep work before welding, saving you time on your project. It's designed to handle difficult fabrication jobs where standard pre-bent sections just won't fit.

This particular bend is part of Vibrant's larger program of mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, offering a variety of bends and sizes for custom projects. It comes with a 5-year limited warranty from the manufacturer.
