Precision Brand 17850 Brass Shim Stock 0.006 in 18x6 in 10 Pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17850 is a brass shim stock sheet used for precision spacing, alignment, and shimming applications in mechanical assemblies. Each sheet measures 18 inches long by 6 inches wide and 0.006 inches thick, providing a consistent and workable material for achieving tight dimensional tolerances. Brass construction offers good corrosion resistance, machinability, and flexibility, making it a practical choice where ferrous metals are unsuitable. This package contains 10 sheets. HVAC technicians, millwrights, machinists, and maintenance professionals commonly use shim stock to level equipment, set clearances, and correct alignment during installation and service work.

Brass shim stock sheet is suited for use across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including equipment leveling, bearing clearance adjustment, compressor mounting, fan assembly alignment, and general mechanical shimming tasks. The 0.006-inch thickness is a common specification for fine tolerance work in both residential and commercial mechanical systems. The sheet format allows technicians to cut custom shim shapes using standard shop tools to fit specific component geometries and clearance requirements.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock sheet suitable for mechanical alignment, equipment mounting, and clearance adjustment tasks across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general industrial maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Shim stock is typically installed by millwrights, HVAC technicians, or maintenance mechanics as part of equipment alignment and leveling procedures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in mechanical assemblies. Use appropriate cutting tools such as tin snips, a utility knife, or a metal shear to trim sheets to the required profile. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting sheet metal stock.
