The Wacker Neuson Shim is a genuine OEM component designed for the PT6LT, PT6LS, PT6Y, PT6YT, and PTK6 series 6-inch self-priming centrifugal trash pumps. As a direct OEM replacement, this shim is sourced from Wacker Neuson and meets the same dimensional and material standards as the original part. It is compatible across a wide range of PT6 configurations, including trailer-mounted, skid-mounted, and EPA T4 variants. Always confirm your model number and machine number before ordering to ensure a correct application match.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to the exact thickness tolerance required for proper internal clearance and alignment within the PT6 pump assembly.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Installs in the same position as the original shim with no material modification to mating components.
- Broad PT6 Series Coverage — Fits PT6LT, PT6LS, PT6Y, PT6YT, and PTK6 pump configurations, including trailer-mounted, skid-mounted, and T4-compliant models.
- Preserves Shaft and Impeller Alignment — Correct shim thickness maintains the critical running clearances that allow the pump to build suction pressure and move high-volume solids-laden water efficiently.
- Sourced Direct from Wacker Neuson — Genuine OEM origin means the part number 5000079758 cross-references cleanly against Wacker Neuson's own parts documentation for confident ordering.
A shim is a precisely dimensioned spacer used inside the pump assembly to set and maintain the correct axial clearance between rotating and stationary components — most commonly between the impeller and the pump volute or casing. In a trash pump like the PT6 series, that clearance directly affects priming ability and pumping efficiency: too much gap and the pump loses suction; too little and internal components can contact and wear prematurely. Over time, shims can compress, deform, or corrode, causing performance degradation that is easy to misdiagnose as a mechanical failure elsewhere in the pump.
