Nvent 8PF 1/2 Inch Shallow Box Stud Clip

Product Description

The NVENT 8PF is a 1/2 inch shallow wall box stud clip designed to secure electrical boxes to metal or wood studs during rough-in wiring work. This clip holds the box firmly in position at the correct setback depth, keeping the assembly stable while conductors are pulled and terminated. Electricians use it during new construction and remodel work where consistent box positioning is critical before drywall installation. The 8PF is a small, purpose-built fastening component that reduces the need for additional hardware during box mounting.

This clip is suited for residential and light commercial electrical rough-in applications. It is typically used with 1/2 inch drywall installations where a shallow box setback is required. The 8PF works in standard stud-framed wall assemblies and is a common inventory item for electricians who install switch and outlet boxes at volume.
