Maudlin Products PL5-ASSRT Plastic Shim Stock Assortment

Product Description

The MAUDLIN PRODUCTS PL5-ASSRT is a 14-piece plastic shim stock sheet assortment designed for precision shimming, alignment, and leveling work across a wide range of trade and industrial applications. Each sheet measures 20 inches long by 5 inches wide and covers a thickness range of 0.0005 to 0.03 inches, giving technicians the flexibility to dial in tight tolerances without keeping a large shim inventory on hand. The assortment includes 14 color-coded sheets in distinct thicknesses, making quick visual identification straightforward on the job. At 2 pounds, the package is compact and easy to store in a tool bag or service van.

This assortment is suited for HVAC equipment alignment, pump and motor base leveling, pipe support shimming, and general mechanical fitting work in both residential and commercial settings. Plastic shim stock is commonly used where corrosion resistance or electrical isolation is a priority, and where metal shims would be inappropriate or unnecessary. Technicians working on equipment mounting, bearing alignment, or bracket fitting will find the range of thicknesses useful for achieving precise fits without custom cutting or stacking multiple shims of the same thickness.

Installation Notes

Plastic shim stock can be cut to size using standard utility knives, tin snips, or scissors - score and snap methods used for metal shims are not appropriate for these sheets. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before shimming motors, compressors, or electrical components. Verify final alignment with a dial indicator or laser alignment tool after shimming. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications when securing bolts after shimming is complete.
