Precision Brand 16969 Steel Shim Stock 0.025in 12x8in 5 Pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 16969 is a flat sheet shim stock made from steel, designed for precision shimming, alignment, and spacing tasks across mechanical and industrial applications. Each sheet measures 0.025 inches thick, 12 inches long, and 8 inches wide, providing a consistent and reliable material for achieving tight tolerances. This package contains 5 sheets. Steel construction offers the durability and dimensional stability required for demanding trade environments where consistent thickness is critical. HVAC technicians, millwrights, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals reach for shim stock when aligning equipment, leveling components, or filling gaps during installation and service work.

Flat sheet shim stock in this thickness range is widely used in residential and commercial mechanical installations. Common applications include equipment alignment, bearing fits, machinery leveling, flange spacing, and structural shimming during equipment installation. The 12-inch by 8-inch sheet size gives technicians flexibility to cut custom shim shapes to fit a variety of mounting and clearance situations in the field or shop.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically cut to size using metal snips, bench shears, or a utility knife with a straightedge before installation. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting steel shim material, as edges can be sharp. Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before inserting shims to maintain accurate alignment. Always verify final alignment or clearance measurements with appropriate gauging tools after shimming.
