Precision Brand 44575 Plastic Shim Stock Sheet 5x20 in 3 Pc

Product Description

The PRECISION BRAND 44575 is a clear plastic shim stock sheet sold in a 3-piece pack, used for precise spacing, alignment, and gap adjustment in mechanical and structural assemblies. Each sheet measures 5 inches wide by 20 inches long with a thickness of 0.040 inches, giving technicians a workable blank that can be cut to any required shim size on the job. The clear polypropylene-style material allows for visual inspection of mating surfaces during fitment. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general maintenance trades keep shim stock on hand for leveling equipment, setting tolerances, and shimming flanges, bases, or pipe supports.

This shim stock sheet is suited for light-duty industrial, mechanical, and HVAC applications where non-metallic shimming material is required. Typical uses include leveling compressor bases, aligning pump flanges, shimming equipment feet, and filling gaps in ductwork or equipment mounting assemblies. The sheet format lets the installer scribe and trim shims to exact dimensions in the field without needing pre-cut stock. The clear color makes it easy to verify fit and alignment before finalizing a connection.

Key Features

• 0.040 inch thickness provides consistent, reliable spacing for light mechanical alignment tasks
• 5 inches x 20 inches sheet size offers generous material for cutting multiple custom shims per piece
• Clear color allows visual inspection of mating surfaces during installation
• Plastic material resists corrosion and is suitable for applications where metallic shims are not preferred
• 3-piece pack included per order quantity, reducing the need for frequent restocking on multi-point alignments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose plastic shim stock sheet suitable for mechanical alignment, equipment leveling, and gap-filling applications across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and maintenance trade settings.

Installation Notes

Shim stock sheets are typically installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians during equipment alignment or base leveling procedures. Use a straightedge, scribe, and shears or a utility knife to cut the sheet to the required shim dimensions before installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before inserting shims into machinery or mounting assemblies. Do not use plastic shim stock in applications involving high heat, sharp impact loads, or chemical exposure beyond the material's rated tolerance.
