Precision Brand 44240 Plastic Color Coded Shim Stock

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 44240 is a color-coded plastic shim stock sheet designed for precise thickness gauging in manufacturing, maintenance, and fabrication work. Each flat sheet measures 10 inches by 20 inches and is 0.0075 inches thick. The matte plastic construction is color-coded to indicate thickness at a glance, eliminating the need for a micrometer during setup and reducing measurement errors. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use these shims where consistent, repeatable spacing or shimming is required without stopping to measure stock.

This shim stock sheet is suited for light industrial and manufacturing applications including gasket fabrication, alignment tasks, and production of special-tolerance parts. The flat sheet format allows technicians to cut custom shapes as needed for a wide range of fitment tasks. Its plastic material resists corrosion and is appropriate for applications where metal shim stock would be unsuitable or unnecessary.

Key Features

• Color-coded matte finish identifies 0.0075-inch thickness without measuring instruments
• Flat sheet format allows field cutting to custom gasket or shim shapes
• Plastic construction resists corrosion and works where metal shim stock is not required
• Eliminates micrometer use during setup, reducing setup time and measurement error
• Suitable for gaskets, special parts, alignment, and general manufacturing applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose plastic shim stock sheet for manufacturing, fabrication, and maintenance applications where a 0.0075-inch thickness is specified.

Installation Notes

Plastic shim stock is typically cut to shape using shears, a utility knife, or scissors appropriate to the sheet thickness. Verify the required shim thickness specification before cutting to avoid material waste. No power tools or special codes are required for shim stock installation, but ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before placing shims. Follow the equipment manufacturer's torque and alignment specifications for the assembly being shimmed.
