Smooth Flow Aluminum Tubing for Custom Piping Builds
The Ticon 301-08928-8150 3.5in Aluminum 6061 45 degree mandrel bend gives fabricators a precision-formed section for custom intercooler piping, intake tubes, and charge pipes. The 1.5D bend radius maintains a constant inner diameter through the bend for consistent airflow and clean welds.
Key Features
- Mandrel bent for a constant inner diameter with no wrinkling or collapsing
- 1.5D bend radius for smooth airflow transition
- 6061 aluminum alloy construction
- 2mm / .079in wall thickness
- 45 degree bend angle
- Ideal for custom intercooler piping, intake tubes, and charge pipes
- Bare aluminum finish ready for welding and fabrication

About Ticon Industries
Ticon Industries manufactures precision mandrel bends, straight tubing, and flanges in titanium, stainless steel, and aluminum for custom exhaust and intake fabrication. Their tubing is a staple among fabricators building turbo systems, intercooler piping, and full custom exhausts.
FAQ
What is the 301-08928-8150?This part is a Ticon 3.5in aluminum 45 degree mandrel bend used to fabricate custom intercooler piping, intake tubes, and charge pipes where a smooth direction change is needed without restricting airflow.
What does 1.5D radius mean?1.5D radius means the bend radius is 1.5 times the tube diameter, a common industry standard for balancing smooth flow with a compact bend.
Is this tubing seamless through the bend?Ticon aluminum mandrel bends are precision formed to maintain a consistent inner diameter throughout the bend for clean welding to adjoining sections.
What wall thickness does this bend have?This 3.5in mandrel bend has a 2mm / .079in wall thickness.
Can this be welded to other aluminum tubing?Yes, the bare 6061 aluminum finish is ready for TIG welding to other aluminum components in a custom piping build.
Does this fit a specific vehicle?No, this is a universal fabrication component intended for custom piping builds rather than a specific vehicle application.
What finish does the tubing have?The tubing has a bare aluminum mill finish suitable for painting, polishing, or leaving as-is.
Why choose a mandrel bend over a crush bend?Mandrel bending keeps the tube diameter constant through the bend, avoiding the flow restriction and wrinkling common with crush-bent tubing.
Install Instructions
- Measure and mark the required cut length on the mandrel bend.
- Cut the tubing to length using a tubing cutter or saw designed for aluminum.
- Deburr and clean the cut edges before welding.
- Tack weld the section into place within the piping assembly.
- Complete full welds once alignment and fitment are confirmed.
