ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose bracket for supporting electric boxes in a stud wall which can be attached directly to a stud, between two adjacent studs, or supported from the floor, includes a mounting bracket that includes four tabs that are adapted to attach to a vertically slotted base unit. Further, the bracket includes a cable support having an edge which aligns with a stabilizing leg of the bracket which allows it to align itself to a metal stud. An edge of the bracket is then screwed to the metal stud. Further, the bracket includes channels which receive straps which can be used to support the bracket between two adjacent studs without use of the floor support.
