ABSTRACT:
An electrical box setting apparatus for positioning electrical boxes on wood or metal wall studs. A back plate includes a pair of slidably adjustable blocks and a spacer bar between the blocks. The thickness of the spacer bar is chosen to match the thickness of sheet rock to be installed on a wall constructed with wood studs. To install an electrical box, the sliding blocks are positioned to the vertical elevation desired for the electrical box, the apparatus is positioned so that the blocks straddle the stud and the spacer bar abuts the stud, and the electrical box is placed on one of the sliding blocks and attached to the stud at that position. For metal studs, the spacer bar is removed or the adjustable blocks are relocated to the opposite face of the back plate.
