Starrett 52816 Feeler Stock Roll 0.019 in Tempered Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 52816 is a tempered steel feeler stock roll used to measure and set precise gaps in mechanical assemblies, valves, and equipment. The roll measures 0.019 inches thick and 0.5 inches wide, supplied in a continuous 25-foot length that allows technicians to cut custom strips to fit the application. Tempered steel construction provides the consistent stiffness and smooth surface finish required for accurate feeler gauge work. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical trades rely on feeler stock when checking valve clearances, burner gaps, and equipment tolerances during installation and service.

This feeler stock roll is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever precise gap measurement is required. Common uses include setting burner electrode gaps on gas heating equipment, checking clearances on compressor valves, verifying fitment in tight mechanical assemblies, and any trade application that requires a flat, accurately dimensioned shim or gauge strip. The 25-foot continuous roll provides enough material to prepare multiple custom-length strips from a single piece.

Key Features

• Tempered steel construction for consistent stiffness and repeatable accuracy
• 0.019 inch thickness suitable for tight-tolerance gap measurement
• 0.5 inch wide strip accommodates a range of gap-checking applications
• 25-foot continuous roll allows custom-length cuts in the field
• Smooth surface finish supports accurate contact and measurement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard feeler stock roll for use wherever 0.019 inch tempered steel shim or gauge strip material is required in trade service and installation work.

Installation Notes

Cut strips to the required length using aviation snips or a metal shear before use. Handle cut edges carefully, as tempered steel strip edges can be sharp. When using feeler stock to set equipment gaps, follow the equipment manufacturer specifications for the correct clearance value. No power isolation is required for gap-checking tasks, but always follow appropriate lockout procedures when working on energized or pressurized equipment.
