Aluminum Bent Elbow 2.500 90-Degree

The Aluminum Bent Elbow 2.500 90-Degree from WOOLF AIRCRAFT PRODUCTS is a precision engineered tubing bend designed for high-performance automotive cooling, intercooler, and turbo intake manifold plumbing applications. Built by mechanics and fabricators who demand reliable flow dynamics and durability under heat and pressure cycling, this 90-degree aluminum elbow serves as a critical routing component in custom engine bay layouts where space constraints or performance tuning require precise directional changes in fluid pathways.

Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum in a natural mill finish, this bent elbow features a 2.5-inch outer diameter with a 2.5-inch bend radius and 0.065-inch wall thickness—specifications that balance structural integrity with weight savings critical to modern vehicle modifications. The gradual 2.5-inch radius bend minimizes turbulence and pressure loss compared to sharp elbows, maintaining consistent coolant or boost air velocity while reducing stress concentrations at the elbow itself. Aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum withstands thermal cycling and modest pressure loads typical of street and track applications, and its natural finish allows for welding, anodizing, or polishing to match your custom build aesthetic.

This component is ideal for fabricators building custom water cooling circuits, turbo charge-air coolers, or high-flow radiator bypass systems on turbocharged and naturally aspirated performance engines. The 10 x 2.5 x 10-inch dimensions and 0.85-pound weight make it easy to integrate into tight engine compartments. Compatible with standard 2.5-inch hose clamps and barbed or welded fittings, this elbow pairs seamlessly with silicone tubing, radiator hose, or aluminum hardline systems—offering the flexibility needed for both street cars and dedicated race builds.
