Precision Brand 17545 Brass Shim Stock Sheet Assortment

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17545 is a 12-piece brass shim stock sheet assortment used for precision shimming, alignment, and spacing tasks in mechanical and industrial service applications. Each sheet measures 12 inches long by 6 inches wide and the assortment spans a thickness range of 0.001 to 0.015 inches, giving technicians a ready selection of gauges without ordering individual stock. Brass is the material of choice here for its corrosion resistance, machinability, and non-sparking properties. This assortment is well suited for trade professionals who regularly need to dial in clearances, level equipment, or fill gaps on the bench or in the field.

This assortment fits into a wide range of maintenance, repair, and installation scenarios. HVAC technicians use brass shim stock to set blower wheel clearances and align compressor mounts. Millwrights and pipefitters use it for equipment leveling and flange alignment. The 12-piece variety pack eliminates the need to stock multiple individual thicknesses, making it a practical addition to any service van or shop inventory where precision fit-up work is routine.

Installation Notes

Brass shim stock is typically handled by millwrights, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in rotating or pressurized assemblies. Use aviation snips, a sharp utility knife, or a metal shear to cut sheets to size — avoid tearing, which can leave burrs that affect fit accuracy. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling thin-gauge stock.
