SKU CH-NA7Z-RY2B4

White vinyl shim stock sheet measuring 5 by 20 inches at .025 inch thickness

  • White PVC shim stock simplifies alignment tasks
  • .025 inch thickness with ±5 % tolerance ensures precise spacing
  • 5 by 20 inch sheet provides ample material for multiple cuts
  • Operates from -10 °F to 155 °F for varied environments
  • Low .15 % moisture absorption maintains dimensional stability

Precision shim stock for alignment work

This white vinyl shim stock comes in a 5-inch by 20-inch sheet with a thickness of .025 inches. It is made for electricians, mechanics and fabricators who need thin, non-metallic spacers for leveling, fitting or insulating tasks. The material compresses to .7 percent and absorbs only .15 percent moisture.

Replaces metal shims where corrosion

Unlike steel or brass shim stock, this PVC grade will not rust or conduct electricity, making it suitable for electrical enclosures and damp environments. The jump is worth it when the job calls for a non-metallic spacer that stays stable from minus 10 to 155 degrees Fahrenheit and meets LP-535 requirements.

Check thickness tolerance

The thickness tolerance is plus or minus 5 percent and the width and length tolerances are each plus or minus .0625 inches. Verify that these ranges and the 5 by 20 inch dimensions fit the clearance and layout of your application. Temper is not rated, so do not rely on spring properties.

Questions about this item

What thickness gap does the .025 in shim stock fill?

The sheet is .025 in thick with a +/-5 percent tolerance, so it fills a nominal .025 in gap.

How do I cut and fit the 5 in by 20 in vinyl sheet during installation?

Measure the required shape, mark the PVC sheet, cut with a sharp utility knife or scissors, then press into place; the material compresses only .7 percent so it holds its thickness.

When should I replace the shim stock if it is used as a wear plate or gasket?

Replace it if the surface shows cuts, permanent deformation beyond the .7 percent compression, or if operating temperatures exceed the -10 to 155 °F range.
