The Multiquip 50438000 Shim 1.80MM is a genuine OEM component designed for QP3TZ and QP2TZ trash pumps and MVH308DZ and MVH408DZ heavy-duty reversible plate compactors. As a direct Multiquip OEM part, 50438000 is manufactured to the exact thickness specification required to maintain correct mechanical clearance within the assembly. Verify your model code before ordering to ensure this 1.80MM shim is the correct size for your application.
Key Features
- Precision-Ground Thickness — Produced at an exact 1.80MM tolerance, ensuring proper mechanical clearance and alignment within the assembly.
- Genuine OEM Construction — Sourced directly from Multiquip, this shim matches the original material grade and dimensional spec of the part it replaces.
- Direct Drop-In Fit — Engineered to seat correctly in the same position as the original, with no additional machining or modification to mating surfaces.
- Cross-Family Compatibility — Fits QP3TZ and QP2TZ Hatz-powered trash pumps as well as MVH308DZ and MVH408DZ reversible plate compactors — confirm your model code before ordering.
- Prevents Premature Wear — A correctly specified shim maintains proper component spacing; an incorrect thickness or worn shim can cause accelerated wear on adjacent parts and misalignment under load.
A shim is a thin, precision-dimensioned spacer used to set or restore the correct clearance between two mating components — such as rotating shafts, bearing housings, or gear assemblies. In both pump and compactor applications, the correct shim thickness is critical to keeping moving parts aligned and preventing metal-to-metal contact that causes rapid wear. When a shim wears down or is installed at the wrong thickness, it can lead to vibration, noise, uneven loading, and eventual failure of the surrounding components.
