Precision Brand 42465 Stainless Steel Slotted Shim 5-pack

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42465 is a stainless steel slotted shim supplied in a pack of five, sized at 4 inches x 4 inches x 0.125 inches thick. Slotted shims are used to correct alignment and leveling issues on motors, pumps, generators, and other industrial or commercial plant machinery. The slotted design allows the shim to be inserted and removed without fully disassembling the equipment, making field adjustments faster and more practical. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds up under the load and vibration conditions common in mechanical equipment installations. This product is suited for millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors working in plant maintenance, HVAC, and equipment installation environments.

This shim is appropriate for use in both light commercial and industrial settings where precise equipment leveling and shaft alignment are required. Typical applications include base-plate shimming under motors, pump housings, compressors, and generators during installation or realignment service. The uniform thickness of 0.125 inches provides consistent correction across the contact surface. The pack of five allows technicians to stack shims for incremental adjustments or to have spares on hand for multi-point alignment work.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability under load
• Slotted design enables installation and removal without full equipment teardown
• Consistent 0.125-inch thickness for repeatable, stackable adjustments
• 4 inches x 4 inches footprint suits standard motor and pump base plates
• Pack of 5 supports multi-point leveling and on-hand spares

Compatibility

Designed for use as a leveling and alignment shim under motors, pumps, generators, and general plant machinery where a 4 inches x 4 inches slotted shim at 0.125 inches thickness is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or mechanical maintenance technicians. De-energize and lock out all equipment before shimming operations begin per applicable LOTO procedures. Shims should be inserted into the slotted opening with the equipment raised sufficiently to relieve load from the mounting surface. Verify alignment with appropriate gauging tools after final torque of fasteners.
