Precision Brand 70506 Laminated Brass Shim Stock

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 70506 is a laminated brass shim stock sheet used for precision spacing, alignment, and leveling tasks across mechanical and industrial applications. Measuring 0.006 inches thick by 12 inches wide by 24 inches long, this Composition 2 laminated sheet allows technicians to peel individual layers to achieve an exact target thickness without machining. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance, moderate strength, and non-sparking characteristics that make it suitable for use in environments where steel shimming is not appropriate. Weighing 0.57 pounds, the sheet is easy to handle and cut to size on the job.

This shim stock is commonly used by millwrights, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters during equipment installation and alignment. Typical applications include leveling base plates, aligning pump and motor assemblies, closing gaps in flanged connections, and fine-tuning clearances in mechanical systems. The laminated format is especially useful in situations where precise incremental thickness adjustments are required during commissioning or preventive maintenance work on rotating or stationary equipment.

Key Features

• Laminated construction allows layer-by-layer thickness adjustment without cutting or machining
• 0.006 inches nominal thickness per layer for fine, repeatable incremental spacing
• Brass material offers corrosion resistance and non-sparking properties
• Full sheet size of 12 inches x 24 inches provides flexible cutting options for varied job sizes
• Composition 2 designation indicating laminated multi-layer format
• Lightweight at 0.57 pounds for easy transport and field handling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose laminated brass shim stock suitable for mechanical alignment, leveling, and spacing applications across HVAC, plumbing, industrial, and commercial maintenance work where brass material is specified.

Installation Notes

Shim stock installation is typically performed by mechanics, millwrights, or licensed tradespeople during equipment alignment or base-plate leveling procedures. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before inserting or adjusting shims in rotating machinery. Use aviation snips, a utility knife, or shim-cutting scissors to trim the sheet to the required size. Peel individual laminated layers carefully to avoid tearing or distorting the remaining stock.
