Keep your beverage vending machine properly configured with the Dixie Narco 16 oz Bottle Shim 3/8" “D”. This new replacement shim is designed for specific Dixie Narco vending machine applications and helps provide the correct spacing for 16 oz bottle vending. The manufacturer part number is 801813620-11, and the part was previously identified as W212-2.
This shim is listed for use with Dixie Narco 5591 and DN5000 machines. It can also fit Dixie Narco 2145 machines with tall gates. The product is identified as a Shim D, Tall Gate with a 3/8" .340 shim. These details are important when selecting a replacement part, so operators should confirm their machine model and existing configuration before ordering.
Product Overview
The right shim can make a significant difference when setting up a beverage vending machine for a specific bottle size. Vending mechanisms need the correct spacing to hold, position, and release products through the delivery system. A shim provides a simple way to establish the required spacing in the vending mechanism.
The Dixie Narco 801813620-11 shim is intended for 16 oz bottle applications. It is designed around the dimensions and configuration associated with the listed Dixie Narco machines. When replacing a worn, missing, or incorrect shim, using the proper part number can help reduce the risk of ordering an incompatible component.
This is a new part, not a refurbished component. The Vending World listing identifies the part as SKU D80181362011 and lists Dixie Narco as the manufacturer.

Designed for 16 oz Bottle Vending
Beverage vending machines may be configured for different can and bottle sizes. A machine set up for one package size may require a different shim when the product configuration changes. This is why selecting the correct shim is important during vending machine maintenance.
The Dixie Narco 801813620-11 is specifically identified as a 16 oz bottle shim. Its 3/8" .340 specification and “D” designation help distinguish it from other Dixie Narco shims designed for different products or machine configurations.
If you are servicing a machine that uses 16 oz bottles and the existing shim is damaged, missing, or no longer suitable, this replacement provides a convenient way to restore the specified configuration. Always compare the machine model, gate style, bottle size, and existing part before installation.
Compatible Dixie Narco Machines
Dixie Narco 5591
The 5591 is one of the machine families specifically listed for this shim. If your 5591 uses the applicable tall-gate configuration for 16 oz bottles, the 801813620-11 may be the correct replacement shim.
Dixie Narco DN5000
This shim is also listed for Dixie Narco DN5000 applications. Because vending machines can have different configurations depending on the product setup and internal components, verify the existing mechanism before ordering.
Dixie Narco 2145 with Tall Gates
The product listing also specifies compatibility with the Dixie Narco 2145 when equipped with tall gates. The tall-gate requirement is an important detail. A 2145 machine without the appropriate gate configuration may require a different shim.
Why the Correct Shim Matters
Vending machines rely on carefully positioned mechanical components. Bottles must remain in the correct position while the machine waits for a selection. During a vend, the product needs to move through the delivery mechanism without unnecessary interference.
A correctly matched shim helps maintain the intended spacing of the vending assembly. This can be especially important when working with bottle products because different containers can have different diameters, shapes, and dimensions.
Using the wrong shim may create spacing that does not match the intended machine configuration. Before installing a replacement, compare the old component with the new part and verify the manufacturer's part number.
Replacement Part for Vending Machine Maintenance
Regular maintenance is an important part of operating beverage vending equipment. Small components such as shims can be easy to overlook until a vending mechanism needs service. Keeping commonly needed replacement parts available can make repairs and machine adjustments more convenient.
The Dixie Narco 801813620-11 is a useful replacement component for operators, technicians, vending machine refurbishers, and businesses maintaining compatible Dixie Narco equipment. Because it is a new part, it can be used when replacing an existing shim that needs to be removed during service.
Whether you are repairing one machine or maintaining a larger vending route, matching the correct part number to the machine can help streamline your maintenance process.
Important Ordering Information
Before purchasing this Dixie Narco shim, review the machine information carefully. The Vending World listing specifies that this part fits 5591 and DN5000 machines and fits 2145 machines with tall gates. It is also identified as a 3/8" .340 “D” tall-gate shim for 16 oz bottles.
Check the following information before ordering:
- Machine manufacturer
- Machine model
- Bottle size
- Gate configuration
- Existing shim style
- Existing manufacturer part number
- Required shim dimensions
These checks can help prevent ordering a part intended for a different vending mechanism.
Manufacturer Part Number 801813620-11
Part numbers are one of the easiest ways to identify vending machine replacement components. This product is listed under manufacturer number 801813620-11. The Vending World product page also notes that it was previously identified as W212-2.
If your maintenance records, parts list, or previous service documentation references W212-2, comparing that information with the current 801813620-11 number can help identify the replacement you need.
New Dixie Narco Replacement Shim
This is a new Dixie Narco part. New replacement components can be useful for vending machine repairs when an original shim has been lost or damaged during servicing. Installing the correct component also helps maintain the intended configuration of the vending mechanism.
For vending operators, having the correct small parts available can reduce downtime during maintenance. Instead of waiting to identify and source a replacement after a machine needs service, operators can keep frequently needed components organized by machine model and part number.
Ideal for Vending Machine Operators and Technicians
The Dixie Narco 801813620-11 shim is suitable for a range of vending maintenance needs. It can be useful for:
- Vending machine operators
- Vending route owners
- Vending machine technicians
- Equipment refurbishers
- Vending machine repair businesses
- Businesses maintaining Dixie Narco beverage machines
- Replacement-parts inventories
Its compact size also makes it easy to store as part of a vending machine spare-parts inventory. Labeling the part with its machine applications and manufacturer number can make future maintenance work faster.
Installation and Maintenance Considerations
Always turn off and safely service the vending machine according to the equipment manufacturer's procedures before working on internal components. Remove the existing shim only after identifying how it is positioned and how it interacts with the surrounding vending mechanism.
Compare the replacement part with the original component before installation. Confirm that the model, gate configuration, bottle size, and shim specifications match. If the machine has been modified or converted from its original configuration, additional verification may be needed.
After installation, inspect the mechanism and verify that the product path is properly aligned. Test the machine with the appropriate product before returning it to normal service.

Why Buy A Refurbished Machine?
Great Returns - Commercial Grade Machines - Affordability
New vs Refurbished
We used to sell new machines as well as reconditioned ones. We no longer sell new, for one main reason.
According to a recent survey of vending operators, about 93 out of 100 potential vending accounts don't generate enough revenue to justify the cost of new equipment. New machines are great if you have high volume accounts, but most people do not have these accounts.
Typical pricing on new "commercial grade" machines:
- Can drink machines: $6,200–$7,400
- Snack machines: $6,600–$8,500
- Cold food machines: $8,900–$11,700
(Priced with mech and validator, typical options, vendor pricing not including sales tax or shipping in some cases.)
As you can see, that's quite high compared to used or refurbished equipment.
Please remember 'anyone and everyone' can call their machines refurbished but what does that really mean? Please see our machine ratings page for what we actually do to our machines. Many of our competitors don't even 'clean or paint the inside' of the machines.
Start small and grow as you can afford it.Many people start in the vending business without much knowledge, and that can hurt them financially if they're not careful.
All of the machines that we sell are full size, commercial machines. There are many machines that are made that are small, countertop or mechanical coin acceptance. These machines are fine if you are a housewife looking to make a little extra money on the side. We used to sell those type of machines and no longer do. The main reason is that people who were serious about vending would out grow these type of machines in several months.
Small mechanical machines have two main problems:
- They don't make change or accept dollar bills
- They "work you to death" — frequent refills for very little payoff
Most hold under 100 products and gross only $40–$50 per full restock, and profit is less than half of that.
A full-size commercial machine, by contrast, usually holds 350 to 600 products and empties out at $250–$500. Since you spend most of your time just driving to the location, you might as well fill 500 products instead of 50.
