    Plastic Unthreaded Spacers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Spacers. Plastic Unthreaded Spacers.
    Lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant, these plastic spacers are commonly used for electronic and automation applications.
    Chemical-Resistant Polypropylene—These spacers resist a broad range of chemicals, such as petroleum, degreasers, and sulfuric acid. They will weaken, however, if exposed to chlorine, lacquer solvents, or nitric acid.

    Perforated

    Solid

    Prongs sink into rigid insulation and hold the washer in place, so it won't shift during installation.
    Perforated—These economical washers are best for interior applications.
    Solid—When fastened, these washers flex to create a seal around the connection that blocks out air and moisture. They are most often used on exterior walls to attach weather barriers over insulation.

    Tapered Shims

    Wedge these angled shims into gaps to quickly level cabinets, doors, and windows without stacking multiple flat shims.
    Plastic
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Shims. Sold Individually, Taper, Plastic.
    These shims won't degrade when exposed to moisture or chemicals. They're also naturally mold and rot resistant. All are ribbed to grip surfaces and keep these shims from sliding, while also facilitating small adjustments. Trim any excess with a utility knife to get the length you need.
    Rigid—These durable shims maintain their shape, so they're more precise than flexible shims.

    Best for filling large gaps, these thick shims are commonly used to align cabinets, doors, and windows. Slip them around existing mounting fasteners without unfastening them. All are made of plastic to resist moisture and prevent rot. To reduce sizing errors, these shims are color coded by thickness to quickly spot and grab the right size every time.
    You can stack multiple shims to achieve your exact thickness, but stacking more than four may cause them to shift. Remember, fewer shims are better, so a couple of thicker shims are more stable than a bunch of thin shims.
