Precision Brand 17900 Brass Shim Stock 0.02in 18x6in 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17900 is a brass shim stock sheet used to fill gaps, set clearances, and make precision adjustments in mechanical assemblies. At 0.02 inches thick and sized 18 inches long by 6 inches wide, each sheet provides enough material for multiple cuts or fitment jobs. The 10-piece pack is suited for shops and field techs who go through shim stock regularly. Brass is chosen for its corrosion resistance, machinability, and non-sparking characteristics, making it appropriate for use around sensitive components or in environments where ferrous material is not acceptable.

Brass shim stock at this thickness is commonly used in HVAC equipment alignment, pump and motor mounting, pipe support leveling, and general mechanical maintenance across residential and commercial applications. Machinists, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and plumbers use sheet shim stock when precise gap control is needed during equipment installation or realignment. The 18-inch by 6-inch sheet format allows technicians to cut strips or custom shapes to fit the application at hand.

Installation Notes

Brass shim stock is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, or trade technicians during equipment alignment or mounting procedures. Cut sheets to the required shape using tin snips or metal shears, and deburr edges before placing in assemblies to avoid damage to mating surfaces. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before shimming rotating machinery or electrical enclosures. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines for allowable shim thickness and stack height.
