The Wacker Neuson Shim is a genuine OEM component designed for the PT6LT, PT6LS, PT6Y, PT6YT, PTK6, and PT6LS(I) series 6-inch self-priming centrifugal trash pumps. As a factory-sourced part, it meets the exact dimensional tolerances specified for these pump assemblies, ensuring proper internal clearances and alignment are maintained during service. This shim is compatible across multiple PT6 configurations including trailer-mounted, skid-mounted, and EPA Tier 4 variants. If your pump is due for a rebuild or internal service, verifying the correct shim specification is a critical step in restoring proper operating clearances.
Key Features
- Exact OEM Dimensional Tolerance — Manufactured to the precise thickness specification required to maintain correct internal pump clearances — critical for impeller alignment and volumetric efficiency.
- Direct Service Replacement — Drops into position during pump disassembly and rebuild without additional machining or fitting adjustments.
- Broad PT6 Series Compatibility — Fits PT6LT (trailer-mounted), PT6LS and PT6LS(I) (skid-mounted), PT6Y, PT6YT, PTK6, and PT6Y EPA Tier 4 configurations.
- Preserves Pump Output Performance — A correctly shimmed pump maintains the designed impeller-to-volute clearance; incorrect clearance causes flow loss, cavitation, and accelerated wear on internal components.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number 5000084931 is traceable to the original engineering specification for these pump families.
A shim is a precision-thickness spacer used during pump assembly to set and maintain the correct clearance between moving and stationary internal components — most commonly between the impeller and the pump casing or wear plate. In a centrifugal trash pump like the PT6 series, this clearance directly affects pumping efficiency: too large a gap allows fluid to recirculate internally rather than being expelled, reducing flow rate and discharge pressure. Over time, wear plates and impellers erode, and a shim of the correct thickness is used during rebuild to restore the original clearance and bring pump performance back to specification.
