Precision Brand 19170 Steel Feeler Gage Blade 0.002 in

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 19170 is a single steel feeler gage blade designed for precise gap measurement in mechanical and trade applications. Ground and polished from close-grain, high-carbon spring steel, this blade holds a consistent 0.002-inch thickness across its full 12-inch length. At 0.5 inches wide, it provides enough surface area for stable contact during measurement. Machinists, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals use feeler gage blades like this one to check clearances on valve stems, spark plugs, bearings, and belt-driven components. The spring steel construction resists deformation and holds its calibrated thickness through repeated use.

This blade is suited for both shop and field measurement tasks where tight clearance tolerances must be verified. Common applications include checking igniter gaps on furnace burner assemblies, verifying bearing clearances during equipment maintenance, and setting contact gaps on mechanical controls. The 12-inch length allows reach into confined equipment spaces where shorter blades may not access the measurement point. Sold individually, this blade works as a standalone measurement tool or as a replacement for a worn blade in an existing feeler gage set.

Key Features

• Ground and polished to precision tolerances for reliable gap measurement
• High-carbon spring steel construction resists bending and maintains calibrated thickness
• 0.002-inch blade thickness for fine-clearance measurement tasks
• 12-inch blade length provides reach into deep or restricted spaces
• 0.5-inch blade width delivers stable surface contact during use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental blade for standard feeler gage sets requiring a 0.002-inch blade in high-carbon spring steel.

Installation Notes

Feeler gage blades are a hand-measurement tool and require no installation. When using this blade to check clearances, ensure the equipment being measured is de-energized and, where applicable, cooled to ambient temperature before inserting the blade into any gap. Do not force the blade into a clearance smaller than its rated thickness, as this can cause permanent deformation and compromise measurement accuracy. Replace the blade if it shows visible kinks, corrosion, or thickness variation.
