The Vibrant 180 degree mandrel bend is part of the Vibrant 304 stainless steel mandrel-bent tubing program, which spans angles from 15 to 180 degrees in sizes from 1.00 to 5.00 inches. This piece has a 1.25 inch outside diameter with a 2.75 inch centerline radius and a 16-gauge wall. Mandrel bending holds the tube diameter consistent through the curve, so the bend keeps dimensional accuracy and needs minimal preparation before welding and fabrication.
