Starrett 52797 Feeler Stock Roll 0.0015 in Tempered Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 52797 is a precision feeler stock roll used for measuring and setting clearances in mechanical assemblies. Made from tempered steel, this roll measures 0.0015 inches thick and 0.5 inches wide, with a total length of 25 feet. The continuous roll format allows technicians to cut custom-length strips for tight clearance checks in HVAC equipment, compressors, pumps, valves, and other close-tolerance machinery. The tempered steel construction resists deformation under repeated use, keeping measurements consistent across the roll. HVAC technicians, machinists, and mechanical contractors use this stock when precise gap verification is required during assembly, alignment, or diagnostic service work.

This feeler stock roll is suited for trade applications where standard pre-cut feeler gauge sets do not provide the right length or form factor. It is commonly used in commercial and industrial service environments for setting valve clearances, checking bearing fits, verifying shaft end-play, and inspecting gasket seating surfaces. The roll format is practical when strips of varying length are needed on the job, reducing the need to carry multiple gauge sizes. At 0.0015 inches thick, this stock covers fine-tolerance work at the low end of the clearance range.

Key Features

• Tempered steel construction resists bending and maintains gauge accuracy
• 0.0015 inch thickness for fine-tolerance clearance measurement
• 0.5 inch wide strip allows use in narrow or restricted access points
• 25-foot roll provides ample stock for multiple field cuts
• Continuous roll format allows custom strip lengths for specific applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose feeler stock roll suitable for HVAC, mechanical, and industrial service applications requiring precision clearance measurement at 0.0015 inch thickness.

Installation Notes

Cut strips to the required length using appropriate metal shears or aviation snips. Power down and de-energize any equipment before inserting feeler stock into moving assemblies or live electrical enclosures. Handle cut edges carefully, as tempered steel strip edges are sharp. Follow equipment manufacturer clearance specifications when using this stock for gap or clearance verification.
