What material is this U-bend made from?

This U-bend is constructed from 304 stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. It features a 16-gauge wall thickness.

What does 'mandrel-bent' mean for this part?

Mandrel-bent means the tubing was bent using a mandrel inside the tube. This process prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking during the bend, ensuring a consistent inner diameter for optimal exhaust flow.

What are the dimensions of this U-bend?

This U-bend has an outside diameter of 1.75 inches and a centerline radius of 2.625 inches. The leg length from the tangent point is 4 inches.

About this part

Product Details

Vibrant is well-known for their extensive line of exhaust components, and this 1.75-inch O.D. U-bend is a prime example of their commitment to quality fabrication parts. This particular bend is a 180-degree U-bend, meaning it makes a full turn back on itself, with a 2.625-inch centerline radius. It's constructed from 304 stainless steel with a 16-gauge wall thickness, making it capable of withstanding acidic, high-heat, and corrosive conditions, which is crucial for exhaust systems.

This U-bend is mandrel-bent, which ensures the tubing maintains its diameter throughout the bend, preventing kinks and improving exhaust flow. The 304 stainless steel material requires minimal preparation for welding and fabrication, making it a popular choice for custom exhaust builds or repairs, especially for those challenging fabrication projects. The 4-inch leg length from the tangent point gives you a good amount of material to work with when connecting it into your exhaust system.
