Lh Dottie WD8N Wallboard Drywall Anchor No. 8 Nylon

Product Description

The LH DOTTIE WD8N is a nylon wallboard anchor designed for fastening fixtures and hardware directly into drywall without a drill bit. Sized for a No. 8 screw, the anchor is driven into the drywall surface using a Phillips or square drive bit until flush. A sheet metal screw is then inserted through the same bit to secure the fixture. The nylon construction delivers better pullout and shear resistance compared to standard plastic anchors, and the anchor design prevents blowout on the back side of the drywall panel.

This anchor is intended for drywall applications in residential and light commercial construction and service work. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors use these anchors when mounting fixtures, brackets, enclosures, or device boxes to drywall surfaces where stud backing is not available. The No. 8 screw size fits common sheet metal screws used in trade fastening work. The WD8N is sold as a pack of 100 individual anchors, making it suitable for high-volume installation tasks.

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drywall panels with No. 8 sheet metal screws. Suitable for typical residential and light commercial drywall thicknesses where a screw-in style wallboard anchor is the specified fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require a pre-drilled pilot hole. Use a Phillips or square drive bit to drive the anchor flush with the drywall face before inserting the screw. Power down any circuits in the work area before mounting electrical fixtures. Follow applicable local building codes for fastener requirements when securing fixtures to drywall surfaces.
