Compare Ticon 6061 aluminum bends, Vibrant tubing and dimensional fabrication references to build the route around your actual engine-bay layout. Choose the material, outside diameter and bend geometry before planning the joints.Straight Sections, Mandrel Bends and Return PathsPreformed bends can reduce the number of cuts and welds needed to route a pipe. Compare 45-, 90-, 120- and 180-degree references by the actual turn, leg length and centerline radius. A tight-radius elbow and a long-leg bend solve different space and trimming requirements.A U-bend can provide a return path or several usable cut sections. Mock up the intended routing and identify removable joints before choosing lengths; the shortest geometric path is not always the most practical route to assemble or service.Outside Diameter, Wall Thickness and ConnectionsUse the tube outside diameter when matchi...
