L H Dottie Co WR83 Drywall Screw 8x3 Hex Head

Product Description

The L H DOTTIE CO WR83 is a No. 8 by 3-inch drywall screw with a hex head drive, sold in a box of 100. Designed for fastening drywall panels to wood or metal framing, this screw provides reliable pull-through resistance and secure panel attachment. The hex head configuration allows for fast installation with a hex-head driver bit or nut driver, reducing cam-out risk compared to Phillips-style heads. Drywall contractors and framing crews use this fastener on residential and light commercial projects where standard 3-inch depth penetration is required.

This screw is suited for applications requiring deeper fastener penetration, such as attaching drywall to thicker wood framing members, securing double-layer drywall assemblies, or anchoring panels over furring strips. The 100-count box packaging is a standard jobsite quantity for focused repairs or smaller drywall runs. Installation is handled by drywall mechanics and general contractors working on wall and ceiling assemblies.

Key Features

• No. 8 diameter by 3-inch length for deeper penetration into framing
• Hex head drive reduces cam-out during high-volume installation
• Packaged in a 100-count box for convenient jobsite use
• Compatible with standard hex-head driver bits and nut drivers
• Suited for single-layer and double-layer drywall assemblies over wood framing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard drywall fastener for use in residential and light commercial drywall installations over wood or metal framing where a No. 8 by 3-inch hex head screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drywall mechanics or general contractors using a hex-head driver bit or nut driver in a screw gun or drill. Drive screws to the correct depth so the head sits flush or slightly dimpled without breaking the paper face of the drywall. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing on wall and ceiling assemblies.
