ABSTRACT:
A method for assisting installation of an electrical fixture to a mounted electrical junction box. The electrical fixture carries an electrical device having electrical wires to be coupled to electrical lead wires extending from the junction box. The junction box has tabs carrying threaded attachment holes. The fixture has openings alignable with the attachment holes. The method comprises the steps of providing elongate partially threaded attachment rods, one end engagable with the attachment holes, an opposite end and a weakened portion along the rods; passing the rods through the fixture openings engaging the one ends in the attachment holes, supporting fastening members at the opposite ends for temporarily supporting the fixture spaced from the junction box at a distance facilitating access to the wires and leads to permit their manipulation to establish electrical connection; making the connection; after the connection, raising the fixture along the rods above the notches; severing the attachment rods at the weakened portions leaving remnant ends extending through the fixture openings; and applying the fastener members to the remnant ends permanently to secure the fixture installed.
