Precision Brand 44275 Plastic Shim Stock 0.040 in Flat Sheet

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 44275 is a color-coded plastic shim stock sheet designed for precise thickness control in industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical service applications. Each flat sheet measures 10 inches by 20 inches and holds a uniform thickness of 0.040 inches throughout. The shim is manufactured from a high-quality plastic material that resists compression and maintains dimensional consistency. Color coding eliminates the need for calipers or micrometers during selection, reducing setup time and minimizing measurement errors on the job. Technicians and machinists can identify the correct thickness at a glance by the sheet color alone.

This shim stock is used across a wide range of applications including gasket fabrication, fixture alignment, equipment leveling, and custom part production in manufacturing environments. It is equally at home in HVAC equipment alignment, pump and motor mounting, and general mechanical service where precise gap control is required. The flat sheet format allows technicians to cut custom shim shapes to fit specific clearances without waste.

Key Features

• Color-coded plastic material allows instant thickness identification without measuring tools
• Uniform 0.040-inch thickness across the full sheet surface
• Large 10-inch by 20-inch flat sheet provides material for multiple cuts or custom shapes
• Suitable for gasket fabrication, part shimming, and manufacturing alignment tasks
• Lightweight construction at 0.38 pounds per sheet

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shim stock sheet suitable for mechanical alignment, gasket fabrication, and custom part applications across industrial and trade service environments.

Installation Notes

Shim stock installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or trade technicians during equipment alignment or assembly. Cut the sheet to the required shape using snips, shears, or a utility knife on a suitable cutting surface. Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before placing shim material. Verify final clearance with a feeler gauge or micrometer after installation to confirm the correct gap has been achieved.
