L H Dottie Co PHFW81 Phillips Flat Wood Screw 8x1

Product Description

The L H Dottie Co PHFW81 is a No. 8 x 1 inch Phillips flat head wood screw used for fastening wood materials in light structural, finish, and general-purpose applications. The flat head countersinks flush with the work surface, giving a clean finish on exposed wood assemblies. The Phillips drive accepts a standard No. 2 Phillips bit. This fastener is sold individually and is a common component in electrical, HVAC, and plumbing rough-in work where wood blocking, panels, or enclosures require secure mechanical fastening.

This screw is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial construction and service work. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers regularly use flat head wood screws like this one when securing junction boxes, equipment mounting boards, conduit supports, and access panel framing to wood substrates. The countersinking flat head profile is well suited for applications where a flush surface finish is required.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician, HVAC technician, or plumber typically installs this fastener during rough-in or finish work on wood framing, blocking, or panel boards. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwood or near the edge of wood stock to prevent splitting. Use a No. 2 Phillips bit and avoid over-torquing, which can strip the drive or countersink the head too deeply. No power shutdown is required for fastener installation alone, but always follow applicable NEC or trade-specific code requirements for the assembly being secured.
