Need help 48" corallife pc fixture

[xclusive252]

Ok I have a pc fixture made by coral life and I need to replace the plexiglass but dont know the size and would like to get it cut the correct size the first time. If anyone has one and can plz let me know the length width and thickness I would owe you big time TYVM in advance

The best way to determine the EXACT size is with, ummmm, a tape measure
Glad to see you wanting to do it this way as opposed to spending the money to buy a 'factory' cut piece of acrylic. You'll save a boatload of chaching for something so simple.

the reason I asked is cause I do not want to make the mistake with my measurements and be out the money after they cut the acrylic. But tyvm for the effort.

I'm assuming you don't have the old piece to go by so what you can do is measure the length of the area where the plexi would be, the width (inside the slots the glass sits in) and the depth of the slots to determine the thickness you'd need. Of course you'd want to allow space for the plexi to fit inside.

All you need is the thickness and your good to go.

Let me check my garage... oddly, I may have one laying around from an old fixture.

For $14.95 + shipping I'd just go ahead and buy the replacement part.

you will probably be looking at 1/8 thickness.
