Precision Brand 81345 Slotted Shim Stock Stainless Steel 10pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81345 is a slotted shim stock piece used to fill gaps, align components, and level machinery during mechanical assembly and maintenance. Each piece is 1 mm thick, 75 mm wide, and 3 inches long, with a 7/8-inch wide slot for easy positioning around fasteners and shafts without full disassembly. Constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and dimensional stability under load. Sold in packages of 10 pieces. This shim stock is appropriate for precision alignment tasks in industrial, commercial, and trade maintenance environments.

Slotted shim stock is used wherever controlled spacing or alignment is needed during equipment installation and service. Common applications include leveling HVAC equipment bases, aligning pump and motor assemblies, shimming pipe supports, and adjusting bearing fits. The slot design allows the shim to slide into place laterally around a bolt or stud, which speeds up installation on flanged or bolted connections. The stainless steel construction holds up in wet or chemically exposed environments common in mechanical rooms, rooftop installations, and process piping work.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows lateral installation around fasteners without removing hardware
• 1 mm thickness for controlled, measurable gap filling and alignment
• 75 mm width provides a stable bearing surface across bolted flanges and equipment feet
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically exposed environments
• 7/8-inch wide slot fits common fastener sizes used in mechanical and HVAC assemblies
• Package of 10 pieces for multi-point alignment jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim for mechanical alignment and leveling applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment installations where 1 mm spacing and a 7/8-inch slot width are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, HVAC technicians, or pipefitters as part of equipment alignment and leveling procedures. De-energize and lock out all equipment before shimming motor, pump, or blower assemblies. Use a feeler gauge or dial indicator to confirm final alignment after shims are seated. Do not exceed the load rating of the fasteners or equipment feet when stacking multiple shims.
