S/S 3in Oval 45 Degree Bend 6in x 6in leg

The stainless steel 3-inch oval 45-degree bend exhaust component with 6-inch legs is engineered for custom exhaust system fabrication and mandrel-bent ducting applications. This 16-gauge stainless steel bend (SKU VIB13189) delivers precise 45-degree direction changes in oval cross-section ducting, making it essential for exhaust routing in performance vehicles, marine applications, and industrial ventilation systems where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are non-negotiable.

The mandrel-bending process creates uniform wall thickness throughout the bend radius, preventing the flattening and turbulence that occurs with standard bending methods. The 3-inch oval profile accommodates higher flow rates than round ducting of equivalent diameter while maintaining compact installation geometry. Six-inch leg lengths provide adequate material for secure flanging, TIG welding, or slip-fit connections. The 16-gauge stainless steel construction resists salt-air corrosion, chemical exposure, and thermal cycling—critical for marine exhaust systems, coastal applications, and high-temperature industrial environments where mild steel would oxidize rapidly.

Custom exhaust fabricators, hot-rod builders, and marine system integrators use this bend as a component in modular ducting assemblies. The precise 45-degree angle and mandrel-bent construction allow seamless integration into turbocharger manifolds, intercooler piping, and exhaust collectors. Weight of 2.63 lbs reflects the 16-gauge material thickness—substantial enough for high-vibration and high-pressure applications without unnecessary bulk. Individual unit sale enables precise system customization without bulk purchasing.
