Precision Brand 17845 Brass Shim Stock 0.005in 18x6in 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17845 is a brass shim stock sheet used to fill gaps, set clearances, and establish precise tolerances in mechanical assemblies. Each sheet measures 0.005 inches thick, 18 inches long, and 6 inches wide, making it well-suited for fine-tolerance work where exact spacing is critical. Brass is the material of choice when corrosion resistance, conductivity, or non-sparking properties are required. This listing includes 10 sheets per package. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and pipefitters commonly use shim stock during equipment alignment, leveling, and component fitting tasks.

Brass shim stock sheet is used across a wide range of industrial and mechanical service applications. Common uses include aligning pump bases and motor mounts, setting bearing clearances, leveling machinery, and fitting components in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical systems. The 0.005 inch thickness is a standard size for fine-gap adjustment work. The 18 inch by 6 inch sheet format allows technicians to cut custom shim shapes to suit the specific geometry of the application.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and non-sparking properties suitable for sensitive environments
• 0.005 inches thick for fine-tolerance gap filling and clearance setting
• Sheet dimensions of 18 inches x 6 inches allow custom cutting to fit varied applications
• Package includes 10 sheets for stocking or multi-point shimming jobs
• Sheet format works with snips, shears, or a utility knife for field fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock sheet for use in mechanical, industrial, and trade service applications requiring precision gap adjustment or component alignment.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians during alignment and fitting procedures. De-energize equipment and relieve any hydraulic or pneumatic pressure before disassembling components to insert shims. Use appropriate cutting tools such as metal snips or a bench shear to cut sheets to the required shape. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling cut edges, as trimmed shim stock can be sharp.
