Vibrant Stainless Steel V-Band Flange for 2.5in O.D. Tubing - Male
This Vibrant Performance male V-band flange creates secure modular connections for custom charge piping and exhaust systems using 2.5in OD tubing. Made from durable stainless steel it delivers reliable leak-free seals as an alternative to welded or bolted flanges. Professionals rely on these flanges for repeatable assembly in high-performance automotive builds.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: Handles extreme heat and resists corrosion in exhaust or turbo applications for long-lasting performance.
- 2.5in OD Tube Fit: Matches standard 2.5in outer diameter tubing with 63.5mm centerline diameter for direct seamless integration.
- Precision Machined: CNC-machined surfaces ensure smooth mating and airtight seals when paired with female flange and clamp.
- V-Band Connection: Enables fast tool-free disassembly and reassembly compared to slip-fit or traditional flanges.
- Male Design: Compatible with Vibrant 1490F female flange and 14901 T-bolt clamp sold separately for complete kit.
Product Notes
- Intended for custom fabrication in performance exhaust intake or intercooler piping systems.
- Inspect for damage before use and avoid over-torquing during assembly.
- Packed individually to prevent scratches during transit.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Debur tube ends and clean flange faces for optimal seal.
- Use matching female flange and V-band clamp torque to 6-8 ft-lbs.
