Precision Brand 16585 Steel Flat Sheet Shim Stock

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16585 is a flat sheet shim stock made from steel, designed for precision shimming, leveling, and alignment tasks in industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. Each sheet measures 0.02 inches thick, 6 inches wide, and 25 inches long, giving technicians a workable blank that can be cut to exact fit on the job. Sold in a package of two sheets, this stock is a standard go-to for HVAC equipment leveling, machinery alignment, and equipment base shimming where consistent material thickness is critical. Machinists, millwrights, HVAC installers, and maintenance technicians regularly reach for sheet shim stock when field-fitting mechanical assemblies.

Flat sheet shim stock in this thickness range suits both light-duty and moderate mechanical shimming tasks. Common applications include leveling compressors, air handlers, and condensing units on uneven pads, as well as aligning pump flanges, motor mounts, and equipment bases in commercial and industrial settings. The 6 x 25 inch sheet size provides enough material to cut multiple shims from a single piece, reducing waste on multi-point leveling jobs. This product is appropriate for both indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor equipment installations where steel shim material is specified.

Key Features

• Steel construction provides consistent thickness and dimensional stability under load
• 0.02 inches nominal thickness suits precision shimming and fine leveling adjustments
• 6 inches x 25 inches sheet size allows multiple shims to be cut from a single piece
• Package includes 2 sheets per unit, minimizing trips to supply for multi-point jobs
• Flat sheet format is field-cuttable with aviation snips or a shear for custom fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flat sheet shim stock suitable for general mechanical alignment and leveling applications across HVAC, industrial, and commercial maintenance work where steel sheet shim material at 0.02 inches thickness is required.

Installation Notes

Steel sheet shim stock is typically installed by HVAC technicians, millwrights, or maintenance mechanics during equipment alignment or leveling procedures. Power down and lock out all associated equipment before placing or adjusting shims under operating machinery. Use appropriate cutting tools such as aviation snips or a bench shear to trim sheets to size — cut edges may be sharp, so wear appropriate hand protection. Verify final equipment alignment or levelness with a calibrated level or alignment tool after shimming is complete.
