Vibrant Vanjen Aluminum Weld Fittings for 3in OD Tubing (Pair for use with 12566)
Vibrant Performance Vanjen Aluminum Weld Fittings deliver secure modular connections as an alternative to flanged clamped or slip fit joints in aluminum and stainless steel charge pipes or exhaust piping. These weld-on fittings attach to 3in OD tubing for custom fabrication on performance vehicles. Professionals rely on them for consistent leak-free performance in demanding applications.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Construction: Provides corrosion resistance lightweight design and high strength for long-lasting durability in high-heat environments
- Precision CNC Machined: Ensures exact fit on 3in OD tubing for seamless integration and reliable sealing in modular systems
- Weld-On Design: TIG weld directly to tube ends creating permanent robust joints that handle boost pressure and exhaust flow
- Compatible with Part 12566: Pairs perfectly with Vanjen gaskets for airtight seals and quick assembly disassembly of piping sections
- Sold in Pairs: Convenient packaging supports balanced builds like inlet outlet connections on turbos intercoolers or mufflers
Product Notes
