This Vibrant 180 degree mandrel bend is part of the 304 stainless steel mandrel bent tubing program. It measures 2 in outside diameter with a 2.5 in centerline radius and a 5 in leg length from tangent. The 16-gauge wall construction holds its shape through the bend and requires minimal preparation for welding and fabrication.

FAQ
What are the dimensions of the 2698 mandrel bend?
It is a 180 degree bend with a 2 in tube outside diameter, a 2.5 in centerline radius, and a 5 in leg length from tangent.
What material and wall thickness is used?
It is built from 304 stainless steel with a 16-gauge wall for strength and clean welding.
Why choose a mandrel bend over a crush bend?
Mandrel bending keeps the tube diameter consistent through the curve, which preserves smooth flow in exhaust and intake piping.
