Precision Brand 81955 Stainless Slotted Shim Assortment

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 81955 is a 100-piece stainless steel slotted shim assortment designed for precision alignment, leveling, and shimming tasks across mechanical and industrial applications. Each shim measures 75 mm long by 75 mm wide with a 22 mm wide slot, and the set spans ten distinct thicknesses from 0.025 mm up to 2.000 mm. The slotted design allows shims to be slid into position around a fastener or shaft without requiring full disassembly of the assembly. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds up in environments where mild chemical exposure or moisture is present. Technicians and millwrights keep this assortment on hand for fast, on-the-spot adjustment without needing to order individual shim stock.

This assortment is suited for residential and commercial mechanical work, including HVAC equipment alignment, pump and motor base leveling, pipe support adjustment, and general machinery shimming. The variety of thicknesses in a single kit makes it practical for situations where the correct gap is unknown until measurement is taken. The slotted profile accommodates fastener shafts or bolts without full removal, reducing teardown time during maintenance calls. Industrial maintenance technicians, HVAC installers, and pipefitters are the primary users of this type of shim kit.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted shim assortment suitable for alignment and leveling tasks on mechanical equipment, HVAC units, pumps, motors, and structural supports where stainless steel shim stock is required.

Installation Notes

Shims should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with equipment alignment procedures. De-energize and lock out electrical equipment before shimming motors or HVAC components, and relieve any system pressure before working on pump bases or piping supports. Use a feeler gauge or dial indicator to confirm final alignment after shims are set. Shim material should not be used to substitute for structural support members or load-bearing components outside the equipment manufacturer's guidance.
