FAQ
What is a mandrel bend?
A mandrel bend keeps the tube diameter consistent through the curve, avoiding the crimping that flattens flow in a crush bend.
What are the key dimensions?
It is a 180 Degree bend in 1.75 in outside diameter tubing with a 2.625 in centerline radius and 4 in legs from the tangent.
Is it ready to weld?
Yes. It is built from 16-gauge 304 stainless and needs minimal prep before welding and fabrication.
