Precision Brand 42670 Slotted Shim 0.250x6x6 in Stainless

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 42670 is a slotted shim stock piece used to fill gaps, align machinery components, and level equipment during installation or maintenance. Constructed from 300 series stainless steel, this shim offers corrosion resistance and dimensional stability in demanding environments. The slotted design allows the shim to be slid into position around bolts or shafts without full disassembly of the assembly. At 0.250 inches thick and measuring 6 inches by 6 inches, this single-piece shim is well suited for precision alignment tasks performed by millwrights, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and other trade professionals.

This shim is appropriate for use in both light industrial and commercial applications where tight tolerances and corrosion resistance are required. Typical uses include leveling base plates, aligning pump housings, adjusting bearing fits, and setting equipment clearances. The 300 series stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments where carbon steel shims would be prone to rust or degradation.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows installation around fasteners without full component removal
• 300 series stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 0.250 inch nominal thickness for applications requiring substantial gap fill
• 6 x 6 inch footprint provides ample surface area for load distribution
• Single-piece format — no cutting or laminating required for standard use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim for precision alignment and leveling applications across a wide range of mechanical, HVAC, and industrial equipment installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, HVAC technicians, or pipefitters during equipment alignment procedures. Power down and de-energize all connected equipment before inserting or adjusting shims under machinery. Use appropriate measuring tools such as feeler gauges or dial indicators to confirm final clearance after shimming. Avoid bending or scoring the shim during installation, as deformation can compromise dimensional accuracy.
