Precision Brand 19260 Steel Feeler Gage 0.005 in Blade

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 19260 is a single-blade steel feeler gage used to measure and set precise gaps in mechanical assemblies, engine components, and industrial equipment. The blade measures 0.005 inches thick and 0.5 inches wide by 12 inches long, ground and polished from close-grain, high-carbon spring steel to maintain accurate tolerances over repeated use. Machinists, millwrights, engine technicians, and HVAC technicians rely on feeler gages like this one to verify clearances on valve trains, bearing fits, spark plug gaps, and equipment alignment surfaces. The spring steel construction resists deformation and holds its calibrated thickness under normal working loads.

This feeler gage blade is suited for both bench work and field service applications where a single known thickness is needed for gap checking or setting. Typical uses include checking air gaps on contactors and relays, setting valve clearances in combustion engines, verifying burner orifice spacing in gas appliances, and confirming tolerance fits during equipment assembly or maintenance. The 12-inch blade length gives enough reach for recessed or hard-to-access measurement points common in HVAC equipment and mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 0.005-inch blade thickness ground to precision tolerances for accurate gap measurement
• High-carbon spring steel construction resists bending and returns to shape after use
• Close-grain steel ground and polished for consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy
• 0.5-inch blade width provides a stable contact surface on flat or curved mating parts
• 12-inch blade length allows reach into deep or recessed measurement areas

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose feeler gage blade for use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance applications where a 0.005-inch gap reference is required.

Installation Notes

Feeler gages are a hand tool and require no installation, but care in use is essential for accurate results. Wipe the blade clean before each measurement to remove debris or oil that can add to the effective thickness reading. Do not force the blade into a gap or bend it beyond its natural flex, as permanent deformation will compromise calibration. Store the blade protected from moisture to prevent corrosion on the polished steel surface.
