Precision Brand 22340 Stainless Steel Shim Stock 6x50 in Roll

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 22340 is a stainless steel shim stock roll designed for precision spacing, alignment, and shimming tasks across a wide range of mechanical and industrial applications. Manufactured from full hard, cold rolled 300 series stainless steel, this roll measures 6 inches wide by 50 inches long with a thickness of 0.012 inches. The 300 series alloy provides solid corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where mild chemicals, moisture, or temperature variation are present. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for shim stock when setting clearances, leveling equipment, or correcting tolerance gaps during assembly or repair work.

This roll format allows the installer to cut custom-length shims directly from the stock using standard metal shears or snips, reducing waste and providing flexibility across multiple jobs. It is well suited for residential and commercial mechanical applications including HVAC equipment leveling, pump and motor alignment, flange spacing, and general machinery fitting. The 6-inch width accommodates a broad range of shim widths without requiring additional material joining.

Key Features

• Full hard, cold rolled 300 series stainless steel construction for strength and corrosion resistance
• 0.012 inch thickness provides precise, consistent spacing across the full roll length
• 6 inches x 50 inches roll format allows on-site cutting to any required shim length
• Single-piece roll minimizes material waste compared to precut shim sets
• Weighs 1.24 pounds — lightweight and easy to transport to the job site

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock roll suitable for use wherever 0.012 inch stainless steel shimming material is required in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or industrial maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Shim stock should be cut using aviation snips, metal shears, or a sharp utility knife with a straightedge to achieve clean, burr-free edges. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting metal shim stock, as edges can be sharp. Power down and de-energize any equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in mechanical assemblies. Verify final clearances with a calibrated feeler gauge after shimming to confirm the target tolerance has been achieved.
