The leaf measures 0.013 inches thick, 0.5 inches wide, and 12 inches long with a parallel profile that maintains consistent thickness along the full length. Constructed from tempered steel, the blade resists wear and holds its calibrated dimension through repeated use. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance professionals use feeler gages to verify clearances, check valve seats, set igniter gaps, and confirm bearing tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gage is suited for both residential and light commercial service work where accurate gap measurement is required. Common applications include checking furnace burner orifice alignment, setting electrodes on oil and gas equipment, verifying mechanical clearances during motor and pump service, and inspecting mating surfaces during component replacement. The 12-inch blade length provides reach into confined spaces without requiring disassembly of surrounding components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCalibrated thickness of 0.013 inches for precise gap measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParallel leaf style maintains uniform thickness across the full 12-inch length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTempered steel construction resists deformation and wear during repeated use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5-inch blade width provides adequate surface contact for stable readings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-leaf format allows targeted use without handling a full gage set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard single-leaf feeler gage for use in any application requiring a 0.013-inch gap measurement reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeeler gages are precision measurement tools installed or used by technicians during inspection and adjustment procedures. Always power down and de-energize equipment before inserting a gage near electrical components or moving parts. Do not force the blade into a gap narrower than its rated thickness, as this can permanently deform the leaf and compromise measurement accuracy. Clean the blade before and after use to prevent contamination of precision mating surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.013 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaf Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tempered Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52851\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698835652914,"sku":"52851","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5df44ab76ea793e212b42e155b15c0c4.jpg?v=1788368667","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-52851-feeler-gage-0-013-in-parallel-leaf-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
