Precision Brand 17972 Brass Shim Stock Roll 0.1mm 150mm Wide

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 17972 is a brass shim stock roll used for precision spacing, alignment, and shimming applications across mechanical, HVAC, and industrial service work. Made from 260 alloy brass, this roll measures 0.1 mm thick and 150 mm wide with a 2.5 m length, giving technicians and machinists a generous supply for custom-cut shim work. The material is soft enough to cut and form by hand with standard shop shears yet rigid enough to hold a consistent gap under load. Licensed tradespeople and millwrights reach for brass shim stock when ferrous material would risk corrosion or magnetic interference in a tight tolerance assembly.

Brass shim stock in roll form is commonly used in commercial and residential HVAC installations for leveling compressors, aligning fan assemblies, and setting clearances on rotating equipment. It also sees regular use in plumbing and mechanical rooms for base plate shimming and pump alignment. The 150 mm width provides enough material to cut pads, strips, or full wraparound shims without splicing. Technicians working on precision equipment can unroll only what is needed and store the remainder for future service calls.

Key Features

• 260 alloy brass construction resists corrosion and is non-magnetic
• 0.1 mm thickness suitable for fine-tolerance gap adjustment and alignment work
• 150 mm wide roll allows wide pads or multiple narrow strips from a single cut
• 2.5 m roll length provides extended material supply for multiple jobs
• Soft enough to cut with shop shears or a utility knife without cracking
• Roll format reduces waste compared to pre-cut sheet packs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose brass shim stock roll for use in mechanical alignment, HVAC equipment leveling, and precision spacing applications where a 0.1 mm brass shim material is required.

Installation Notes

Cut shim stock with aviation snips or sharp shop shears to avoid deforming the edge. De-energize and lock out any equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in rotating or pressurized assemblies. When used for HVAC compressor or pump alignment, verify final position with a level or dial indicator before restoring power. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling freshly cut brass edges.
