L H Dottie TBC82 Toggle Bolt 1/8x2 Inch 50 Pack

Product Description

The L H Dottie TBC82 is a slotted/Phillips drive toggle bolt designed for secure fastening in hollow wall and ceiling applications. This 1/8-inch diameter by 2-inch length bolt uses a spring-wing toggle anchor mechanism that expands behind the wall surface once inserted through a pre-drilled hole, distributing load across a wider area than a standard screw. Each package contains 50 bolts. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors commonly install these when mounting junction boxes, conduit supports, light fixtures, or equipment hangers to drywall, plaster, or hollow masonry.

The TBC82 is suited for residential and light commercial work wherever hollow-wall anchoring is required. Typical applications include attaching electrical boxes, cable trays, duct hangers, and similar hardware to walls or ceilings where solid blocking is not accessible. The dual-drive head accepts both a flat-blade screwdriver and a Phillips driver, giving installers flexibility in the field.

Key Features

• Slotted and Phillips combination drive head accepts multiple driver types
• Spring-wing toggle expands behind the wall surface for secure hollow-wall grip
• 1/8-inch diameter x 2-inch length suits light to medium fixture mounting loads
• 50-piece pack reduces trips to the supply house on larger jobs
• Compatible with pre-drilled hollow drywall, plaster, and similar hollow substrates

Compatibility

Designed as a standard toggle bolt for use in hollow drywall, plaster, and similar hollow-wall or hollow-ceiling substrates commonly encountered in residential and light commercial construction and renovation work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drilling a correctly sized clearance hole in the wall or ceiling surface, collapsing the toggle wings and threading them through the hole, then tightening the bolt until the wings seat firmly against the back of the substrate. Do not overtighten, as this can pull the toggle through the wall face or crush soft materials such as drywall. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer load ratings when selecting anchor size for overhead or safety-critical applications.
