If you're diving into some custom fabrication, you might want to check out this HPS 6061 Aluminum Elbow Tube. It's got a solid build and is super versatile, making it a go-to for all sorts of projects in the automotive, marine, and even aerospace realms. Trust me, if you're looking to whip up some DIY air intakes or turbo intercooler piping setups, this piece is worth considering.
Now, let’s talk specs. This bad boy features a 90-degree bend with a center line radius of just 2 inches, which is perfect for those tight spaces where you need a sharp turn without compromising flow. The outside diameter sits at 1-1/2 inches (or 38mm for those who prefer metric), and each leg stretches out to 6 inches. That gives you some nice straight sections to work with, whether you're connecting hoses or crafting a custom cooling system.
One of the things I really appreciate about this elbow is the wall thickness—it's 16 gauge (1.65mm), so you know it’s built to last. Made from 6061-T6 aluminum, it’s lightweight yet durable, which is a huge plus when you're trying to keep your overall weight down while still maintaining strength. Plus, the mill finish gives it a nice, raw look that fits right in with any custom setup.
All in all, whether you’re a weekend warrior working in your garage or a pro tackling a larger project, this elbow tube has got the quality and flexibility you need to get the job done. It’s a solid choice for anyone serious about their builds.
