Precision Brand 81235 Slotted Shim Stock Stainless Steel 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81235 is a slotted stainless steel shim stock designed for precise spacing, alignment, and leveling applications in mechanical and industrial assemblies. Each piece measures 0.5 mm thick, 50 mm wide, and 2 inches long, with a 5/8 inch wide slot that allows the shim to slide around a bolt or shaft without full disassembly. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds its dimensions under load, making it reliable in both indoor and outdoor service environments. The pack includes 10 pieces, giving technicians multiple units for staged shimming or replacement on a single job.

Slotted shim stock is used in HVAC equipment alignment, pump and motor mounting, pipe support leveling, and general mechanical assembly work. The slot design is particularly useful when a fastener is already in place and cannot be fully removed, allowing the shim to be inserted or removed laterally. This product is suited for use by HVAC technicians, millwrights, pipefitters, and general maintenance professionals working on equipment bases, brackets, and structural supports requiring fine positional adjustment.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows installation and removal without fully pulling fasteners
• 0.5 mm thickness provides a defined, repeatable spacing increment
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp or outdoor environments
• 5/8 inch wide slot accommodates common bolt sizes used in mechanical equipment mounting
• 50 mm width and 2 inch length suit a broad range of equipment base and bracket applications
• Pack of 10 pieces supports multi-point alignment jobs from a single package

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted shim stock for use in mechanical equipment alignment, mounting, and leveling applications where a 0.5 mm stainless steel spacer with a 5/8 inch slot is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, or maintenance mechanics during equipment alignment procedures. De-energize and lock out any equipment before inserting or adjusting shims beneath motor bases, pump housings, or structural supports. Use a torque wrench to bring fasteners to the equipment manufacturer's specified value after shimming is complete. Shims should be clean and free of debris before installation to ensure accurate gap measurement.
