The Vibrant U-J mandrel bend combines a 180 degree bend and a 45 degree bend with a substantial straight length in one integral unit, giving fabricators the potential of three separate solutions in a single piece. It is constructed from 304 stainless steel with a 16-gauge wall and has a 2.5 inch outside diameter. Mandrel bending keeps the diameter consistent through each curve, so the piece offers dimensional accuracy and needs minimal preparation for welding and fabrication.

FAQ
What material is this U-J mandrel bend made from?
It is constructed from 304 stainless steel with a 16-gauge wall thickness for consistent dimensions and corrosion resistance.
What bends does a U-J piece include?
Each U-J unit combines a 180 degree bend, a 45 degree bend, and a straight length in one piece, giving fabricators three usable sections.
Does this bend need much preparation before welding?
Mandrel bending keeps the tube diameter consistent through the curve, so the piece needs minimal preparation before welding and fabrication.
