Precision Brand 17865 Brass Shim Stock 0.009in 18x6in 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17865 is a brass shim stock sheet used to fill gaps, adjust clearances, and achieve precise fitment in mechanical assemblies. At 0.009 inches thick, this sheet provides a fine shimming increment suitable for tight-tolerance work. The sheet measures 18 inches long by 6 inches wide, giving technicians enough material to cut multiple shims to shape for a variety of tasks. Each package contains 10 sheets. Brass is the material of choice when corrosion resistance, moderate hardness, and non-sparking properties are required. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly use shim stock to level equipment, align shafts, and set bearing clearances.

This shim stock is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and mechanical service environments where precise gap adjustment is needed. Common applications include leveling pumps, compressors, and air handlers, aligning motor mounts, and setting clearances on valve assemblies. The sheet format allows field technicians to trim shims to exact dimensions using snips or a utility knife. The brass material is compatible with many fluid and mild chemical environments where steel shim stock would be at risk of corrosion.

Key Features

• 0.009 inch thickness for fine-increment gap adjustment and precise clearance setting
• Brass material provides corrosion resistance and non-sparking characteristics
• 18 inch x 6 inch sheet size yields ample material for multiple cuts per sheet
• Sheet format allows field trimming with standard snips or a utility knife
• 10 sheets per package for extended use across multiple jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock sheet for use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial service applications where a 0.009 inch thickness is specified.

Installation Notes

De-energize and lock out all equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in any mechanical assembly. Cut shim stock to the required shape using aviation snips, a utility knife, or metal shears — wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sheet edges. Verify final clearance or gap dimension with a feeler gauge after shimming. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer tolerances and relevant mechanical codes when setting alignment or clearance values.
