Description
PTB 45° vertical hard way bends are precision-formed oval mandrel bends designed for custom exhaust systems, performance fabrication, and applications where oval tubing needs a controlled 45-degree change in direction. The vertical, or “hard way,” orientation bends the oval tube through its narrow dimension, making this configuration useful for routing around tight clearances while maintaining the advantages of an oval tube profile.
Constructed from 16-gauge T304 stainless steel, these oval exhaust bends provide a smooth, consistent radius and dependable fit-up for fabrication. The 45° hard way configuration is well suited for custom oval exhaust systems, performance and motorsports builds, turbo applications, and other fabricated tubing assemblies.
PTB oval bends are designed to give fabricators more options when working around chassis, suspension, body, and component-clearance constraints. Combining hard way and soft way oval bends can help create complex routing without relying entirely on pie-cut sections.
