Precision Brand 17820 Brass Shim Stock Sheet 0.002 in 10 Pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17820 is a brass shim stock sheet used to fill gaps, set clearances, and achieve precise tolerances in mechanical and equipment assemblies. Each sheet measures 0.002 inches thick, 18 inches long, and 6 inches wide, offering a flat, consistent surface for accurate shimming work. Brass is the material of choice when corrosion resistance, machinability, and non-sparking properties are required. This listing includes 10 sheets per package. HVAC technicians, millwrights, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors use shim stock regularly when aligning equipment, leveling units, or adjusting component fits during installation and service.

Brass shim stock in this thickness range is well-suited for light-duty gap filling and precision fitting tasks across residential and commercial applications. Common uses include aligning fan assemblies, setting compressor mounts, adjusting bearing fits, and leveling mechanical equipment on uneven surfaces. The 0.002-inch thickness is one of the thinner gauges in standard shim stock sets, making it appropriate for fine tolerance adjustments where minimal material addition is needed. Sheets can be cut to size using snips or shears in the field.

Key Features

• Brass material provides corrosion resistance and non-sparking characteristics suitable for sensitive environments
• Ultra-thin 0.002-inch thickness allows for fine tolerance and clearance adjustments
• 18 inches long by 6 inches wide sheet size provides enough material for multiple cuts or applications per sheet
• Package includes 10 sheets, supporting multiple jobs or repeat applications
• Flat sheet form allows field cutting with standard snips or metal shears

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock sheet for use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment alignment and gap-filling applications where a 0.002-inch thickness is specified.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically handled by HVAC technicians, millwrights, and plumbers during equipment installation or alignment service. Power down and de-energize any equipment before inserting or adjusting shims near moving or electrical components. Use appropriate metal-cutting snips or shears to cut sheets to the required shape and size. Edges after cutting may be sharp — use gloves and deburr as needed before final placement.
