Vibrant Aluminum Joiner Coupling (1.75in Tube O.D. x 3in Overall Length)
This Vibrant Performance aluminum joiner connects 1.75-inch outer diameter tubing sections in custom exhaust and intake setups. Builders use it for intercooler end tanks radiator hose inlets and turbo piping on performance vehicles requiring lightweight durable aluminum fabrication. Its bead-rolled design secures silicone hoses while enabling strong TIG welds with little preparation.
Key Features
- 6061 Aluminum Construction: Provides high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance for long-lasting performance in high-heat environments.
- Precise Dimensions: 1.75-inch tube OD and 3-inch overall length match standard aluminum tubing for seamless custom joins.
- Bead-Rolled Ends: Create tight seals with silicone couplers preventing boost leaks in turbo and supercharger systems.
- TIG Weld Ready: Minimal surface prep needed for clean strong welds to aluminum pipes or tanks.
- Versatile Fabrication: Ideal for intercooler tanks radiator outlets and custom piping in diameters from 1.5 to 4 inches.
Product Notes
