Precision Brand 71006 Laminated Aluminum Shim 0.006x24x24 in

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 71006 is a laminated aluminum shim stock sheet used for precision spacing, leveling, and alignment tasks in mechanical and industrial applications. At 0.006 inches thick and measuring 24 x 24 inches, this Composition 1 sheet provides a consistent, uniform thickness across the full surface area. Laminated construction allows technicians to peel individual layers to achieve exact gap tolerances without cutting or grinding. The aluminum material offers corrosion resistance and low weight, making it well suited for environments where steel shimming is not preferred. Installers and maintenance technicians reach for this product when fine tolerance control is required.

This shim stock sheet is used across a broad range of trade and industrial settings, including HVAC equipment installation, pump and motor alignment, pipe support leveling, and general mechanical assembly. The 24 x 24 inch format allows the sheet to be cut to any required shape or size on site. Composition 1 laminated construction is a standard configuration for applications requiring incremental thickness adjustment during installation or equipment alignment procedures.

Key Features

• Laminated aluminum construction allows layer-by-layer peeling for precise thickness adjustment
• 0.006 inch nominal thickness provides fine gap control for tight-tolerance work
• 24 x 24 inch sheet size offers versatile cut-to-fit capability on site
• Composition 1 designation indicates standard laminated layer configuration
• Aluminum material resists corrosion and is compatible with applications where ferrous metal is unsuitable

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose laminated aluminum shim stock sheet suitable for mechanical alignment, leveling, and spacing applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment installations.

Installation Notes

Shim stock installation is typically performed by millwrights, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, or maintenance mechanics during equipment alignment or leveling procedures. Power down and de-energize any equipment before placing or adjusting shims under machinery. Use aviation snips, shears, or a utility knife to cut the sheet to the required shape. Do not over-compress laminated shim layers, as this can affect thickness accuracy and layer integrity.
