Maudlin Products PL-060S Plastic Shim Stock Sheet 20x20

Product Description

The MAUDLIN PRODUCTS PL-060S is a clear plastic shim stock sheet used for precision spacing, leveling, and alignment tasks across mechanical and industrial service work. Measuring 20 inches wide by 20 inches long with a nominal thickness of 0.0600 inches and a 10% tolerance, this sheet gives technicians a workable blank that can be cut to the exact dimensions a job requires. At 1.152 pounds, it is a single full-size piece suited for applications where custom shimming is needed and off-the-shelf precut shims do not fit. HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades commonly use shim stock like this when setting equipment bases, aligning flanges, or closing gaps during installation or repair.

This shim stock sheet is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where plastic shimming material is preferred over metal. Its clear color makes it easy to inspect placement and thickness during fit-up. The 20 x 20 inch format provides enough raw material to cut multiple shims from a single sheet, reducing waste on multi-point leveling jobs. Technicians working on equipment pads, pipe supports, compressor mounts, or similar alignment tasks will find this format practical for field and shop use.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose plastic shim stock sheet suitable for mechanical alignment, leveling, and spacing applications where a 0.0600-inch plastic blank is required.

Installation Notes

Plastic shim stock is typically installed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors during equipment setting or alignment procedures. Score and cut the sheet with a utility knife or shears to the required shim dimensions before installation. Ensure all equipment is de-energized and any pressurized systems are shut down and relieved before adjusting shimmed components. Do not compress shims beyond their rated tolerance, as this can compromise alignment accuracy.
