Precision Brand 22175 Stainless Steel Shim Stock 0.003in 6x50in Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 22175 is a stainless steel shim stock roll used to fill gaps, align machinery, and set precise clearances in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from full hard, cold rolled 300 series stainless steel, this roll measures 6 inches wide by 50 inches long with a thickness of 0.003 inches. The material can be cut to custom lengths and shapes in the field, making it a practical solution for maintenance technicians, millwrights, pipefitters, and industrial mechanics who need repeatable dimensional accuracy during equipment installation or adjustment.

This shim stock roll is suited for light industrial and commercial applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency are required. Typical use cases include aligning pump bases, leveling equipment feet, setting bearing clearances, and shimming flanges or mounting surfaces. The 300 series stainless steel composition provides good resistance to oxidation and moisture, making it appropriate for use in HVAC equipment rooms, mechanical spaces, and light wet environments.

Key Features

• Full hard, cold rolled 300 series stainless steel construction for consistent thickness and corrosion resistance
• 0.003 inch thickness allows precise gap filling and clearance adjustment
• 6 inches x 50 inches roll format provides ample material for multiple cuts on the job
• Field-cuttable with snips or shears to fit irregular mounting surfaces
• Resists oxidation and moisture — suitable for damp mechanical environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stainless steel shim stock roll suitable for mechanical alignment and gap-setting tasks across industrial, commercial, and HVAC service applications where a 0.003 inch thickness is specified.

Installation Notes

Shim stock should be cut using aviation snips, shears, or a sharp utility knife with a metal straightedge — never torn by hand, as this can introduce burrs that affect precision. Deburr cut edges before installation to prevent damage to mating surfaces or personal injury. Ensure all equipment is de-energized and mechanically locked out before inserting shims into rotating or pressurized assemblies. Follow equipment manufacturer torque and alignment specifications when securing fasteners after shimming.
