Precision Brand 17477 Brass Shim Stock 0.018in 6x100in Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17477 is a brass shim stock roll used to fill gaps, set clearances, and align components in mechanical and industrial assemblies. This roll is 0.018 inches thick and measures 6 inches wide by 100 inches long, providing generous material for cutting custom shim shapes on the job. It is manufactured from 260 alloy brass in a half hard, cold rolled temper, which balances formability with enough stiffness to hold a set once trimmed and placed. HVAC technicians, pipefitters, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics rely on precision shim stock to achieve tight tolerances during equipment installation and alignment.

Brass shim stock in this thickness and width is commonly used in commercial and industrial settings wherever metal-to-metal fits must be controlled. Typical applications include setting compressor base clearances, aligning pump flanges, shimming fan mounts, and adjusting bearing housings. The 100-inch roll length allows multiple cuts from a single piece, reducing material waste on jobs that require several shims of the same thickness. It is suitable for use in HVAC equipment rooms, mechanical shops, and field service environments.

Key Features

• 0.018 inches nominal thickness for consistent gap control
• 6 inches x 100 inches roll size yields ample material for multiple cuts
• 260 alloy brass construction resists corrosion and machines cleanly
• Half hard, cold rolled temper provides a balance of formability and rigidity
• Sold as a single roll with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment and gap-filling applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance trades.

Installation Notes

Brass shim stock is typically cut with aviation snips, tin shears, or a utility knife and straightedge to the required shape before placement. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before shimming motors, compressors, or rotating machinery. Edges after cutting can be sharp — use appropriate hand protection when handling trimmed pieces. Verify final alignment with a dial indicator or feeler gauge before returning equipment to service.
