Maudlin Products MSB3-DK Slotted Shim Assortment 340pc

Product Description

The MAUDLIN PRODUCTS MSB3-DK is a 340-piece stainless steel slotted shim assortment covering a thickness range of 0.001 to 0.125 inches. Each shim measures 3 inches long by 3 inches wide with a 7/8-inch wide slot for easy positioning around bolts and shafts without full disassembly. Material grade is 302/304 stainless steel, giving each shim solid corrosion resistance and dimensional stability under load. This assortment is used by millwrights, machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who need a variety of shim thicknesses on hand for precision alignment and leveling work. The kit weighs 20 pounds and ships as a single package.

Slotted shims of this type are standard in industrial and commercial maintenance environments. Common applications include machinery leveling, base plate alignment, pump and motor shimming, pipe flange alignment, and equipment installation on uneven surfaces. The slotted design allows the shim to slide into position laterally without removing the fastener, saving time during alignment adjustments. The 302/304 stainless steel construction makes these shims suitable for wet, outdoor, or corrosive service environments where plain steel shims would degrade.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or pipefitters. Always de-energize and lock out machinery before inserting or adjusting shims under equipment. The slotted design allows lateral insertion around fasteners, but fasteners should be fully loosened to the appropriate relief before shimming to avoid shim deformation. Stack shims in a clean, flat configuration and verify alignment with a dial indicator or precision level after tightening.
