Precision Brand 16690 Steel Shim Stock Roll Assortment 4 Piece

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16690 is a four-piece steel shim stock roll assortment covering a thickness range of 0.001 to 0.005 inches. Each roll measures 50 inches long by 6 inches wide, giving technicians a generous working surface for precision shimming tasks. The steel construction provides consistent thickness, good surface hardness, and reliable dimensional stability under load. This assortment is used by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, HVAC installers, and equipment service technicians who need on-hand shim material in multiple gauges without ordering individual rolls. Having the full thickness range in one package reduces job delays when fine-tuning bearing fits, shaft alignments, or equipment bases.

Shim stock rolls are a standard consumable in industrial maintenance, mechanical equipment installation, and precision alignment work. The 0.001 to 0.005 inch thickness assortment covers the most common light-gauge shimming requirements encountered in residential and commercial HVAC equipment mounting, pump and motor alignment, and general machinery leveling. Technicians cut or layer the material as needed to achieve precise clearances. The 6 inch width accommodates most standard shimming applications without requiring additional trimming along the short dimension.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, or licensed HVAC and mechanical contractors during equipment alignment or leveling procedures. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before placing shims on or near moving components. Use snips, a utility knife, or shear tools rated for thin-gauge steel to cut rolls to the required size. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling thin steel shim material, as edges can be sharp.
