The 180 Degree Aluminum Bend 3.5in O.D. Polished is a precision mandrel bend tubing component engineered for applications requiring smooth, reliable flow pathways and structural integrity. Designed for contractors, fabricators, and industrial builders, this aluminum bend serves critical roles in exhaust systems, air intake manifolds, cooling systems, and custom hydraulic or pneumatic piping. The mandrel bend construction ensures consistent wall thickness throughout the curve, preventing collapse and maintaining optimal performance under pressure or high-temperature conditions.
Constructed from aluminum and polished to a bright finish, this component features a 3.5-inch outside diameter with a 4.75-inch radius and 4-inch legs, providing a balanced geometry suitable for compact installations. The 1.8mm wall thickness delivers strength while remaining lightweight—ideal for automotive, aerospace, and equipment applications where weight reduction matters without sacrificing durability. The polished aluminum surface resists corrosion and oxidation, maintaining aesthetic appeal while extending service life in both indoor and outdoor environments. This mandrel bend's precise 180-degree angle eliminates the need for welded joints in many applications, reducing labor costs and improving overall system reliability.
Fabricators and OEM suppliers benefit most from this bend's versatility and consistent dimensional tolerances, which simplify assembly and reduce rework. Installation requires no special tools—the component integrates directly into tubing networks via slip-fit or compression fittings. This aluminum bend pairs seamlessly with standard 3.5-inch aluminum tubing and works across temperature ranges typical of industrial and automotive use. Whether building custom exhaust systems, intercooler piping, or prototype cooling loops, the 180 Degree Aluminum Bend delivers the precision and reliability professionals demand.
