Precision Brand 16255 Steel Shim Stock Roll 0.003in 12x120in

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16255 is a plain steel shim stock roll designed for precision shimming, spacing, and alignment tasks across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and general trade applications. Measuring 12 inches wide by 120 inches long with a thickness of 0.003 inches, this roll provides a large working area of material that can be cut to any custom shape or size as needed. The rolled format keeps the stock compact and easy to store. Installers and technicians cut sections directly from the roll using snips or a utility knife, trimming shims to exact dimensions for the job at hand.

Steel shim stock rolls are used wherever precise gap control, leveling, or component alignment is required. Common applications include equipment mounting, machinery alignment, flange shimming, and fitting adjustments in mechanical rooms, equipment pads, and service environments. The 0.003-inch thickness suits fine-tolerance work where very small gaps must be filled or controlled without adding significant material bulk. The plain steel surface accepts most adhesives and coatings if bonding or corrosion protection is needed for the finished shim.

Key Features

• 0.003-inch thickness for fine-tolerance shimming and spacing applications
• 12-inch width and 120-inch length provide ample stock for multiple custom-cut shims
• Rolled format conserves storage space and keeps material flat until needed
• Plain steel construction offers good rigidity and dimensional stability
• Easily cut to any shape with standard snips, shears, or a utility knife

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose plain steel shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment, equipment leveling, and gap-filling tasks across trade and industrial service applications.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and plumbers during equipment alignment or mounting procedures. De-energize and lock out any equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in live mechanical assemblies. Cut sections from the roll using aviation snips, tin snips, or a sharp utility knife on a suitable cutting surface. Handle cut edges with care, as thin steel shim material can have sharp burrs after cutting.
