ABSTRACT:
An electrical device mounting assembly includes a box having a top wall and a side wall extending downwardly therefrom for defining a junction box cavity therein. A fixture support is disposed in the cavity adjacent to the side wall. The fixture support includes a bottom plate extending away from the side wall, and a threaded extension disposed on the bottom plate. The fixture support may include a pair of spaced apart fixture supports. Each of the spaced apart fixture supports may be sized for supporting a ceiling fan or a light fixture. An adhesive, such as a piece of double-sided tape, may be provided on the top wall of the junction box. The adhesive assists in the installation of the junction box by adhering the junction box to a support surface for a sufficiently long period of time so that the user may have both hands free for holding fasteners and attaching the fasteners to the support and, thus, supporting the junction box.
