Precision Brand 81245 Slotted Shim Stock Stainless Steel 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81245 is a slotted shim stock designed for precise leveling, alignment, and spacing applications in mechanical and industrial service work. Each piece measures 1 mm thick, 2 inches long, and 50 mm wide, with a 5/8 inch wide slot that allows the shim to slide into position around fasteners or shafts without full disassembly. Constructed from stainless steel, the 81245 resists corrosion and holds up in environments where moisture, mild chemicals, or temperature swings are a concern. The pack includes 10 pieces, making it practical for jobs that require multiple shim points or staged thickness builds.

Slotted shim stock of this type is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications, including HVAC equipment mounting, pump and motor alignment, pipe support leveling, and machinery base shimming. The slotted design is especially useful in tight spaces where removing a bolt entirely is not practical. The stainless steel construction suits both indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor or semi-exposed installations where carbon steel shims would corrode over time. Installers working on base rail alignment or equipment leveling will find the consistent 1 mm thickness useful for incremental adjustments.

Key Features

• 1 mm nominal thickness for precise, repeatable stack-up adjustments
• 5/8 inch wide slot allows installation around fasteners without full bolt removal
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments
• 50 mm width provides stable bearing surface across mounting flanges and base rails
• Pack of 10 pieces supports multi-point shimming on a single job

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim stock suitable for mechanical alignment, equipment leveling, and spacing applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial installations where a 1 mm stainless steel shim is specified.

Installation Notes

De-energize and lock out any equipment before placing or adjusting shims under motors, pumps, or machinery bases. Slot the shim over the fastener and seat it fully before re-torquing hardware to the equipment manufacturer's specification. Stainless steel shims can be stacked to achieve target thickness increments. Wear appropriate hand protection, as shim stock edges can be sharp.
