Maudlin Products PL-020S Plastic Shim Stock Sheet 20x20 in

Product Description

The MAUDLIN PRODUCTS PL-020S is a single-piece plastic shim stock sheet designed for precision shimming, spacing, and alignment applications across mechanical and industrial trades. Measuring 20 inches wide by 20 inches long with a thickness of 0.0200 inches, this sheet gives technicians consistent material to cut custom shims on the job. The yellow color aids quick visual identification in the shop or field. With a 10 percent thickness tolerance, it suits applications where moderate dimensional control is acceptable. HVAC installers, millwrights, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors commonly use shim stock when leveling equipment, aligning flanges, or fitting components to tight clearances.

This shim stock sheet is suited for residential and light commercial installations where plastic shimming material is preferred over metal for its corrosion resistance and non-marring properties. Typical uses include leveling condensing units, aligning pump bases, fitting pipe supports, and spacing mechanical assemblies. The full 20 by 20 inch sheet can be cut with standard shop shears or a utility knife to produce custom shim profiles sized to the task at hand.

Key Features

• Sheet dimensions of 20 inches wide by 20 inches long provide ample material for multiple cut-to-size shims per sheet
• Nominal thickness of 0.0200 inches allows precise gap-filling and alignment adjustments
• Yellow color provides easy visual identification when working with multiple shim thicknesses
• Plastic construction resists corrosion and will not mar soft or coated mating surfaces
• 10 percent thickness tolerance suits general-purpose shimming where ultra-tight tolerances are not required
• Single-piece format; cut to shape with standard shop shears or a utility knife

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose plastic shim stock sheet suitable for mechanical alignment, leveling, and spacing tasks in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment installation and service applications.

Installation Notes

Plastic shim stock is typically installed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, millwrights, or general mechanical contractors as part of equipment leveling and alignment procedures. De-energize and isolate any equipment before inserting or adjusting shims beneath it. Use appropriate cutting tools such as shears or a utility knife to trim the sheet to the required shim profile. Verify final equipment alignment and levelness with a calibrated level or alignment tool after shimming is complete.
