ABSTRACT:
A positioning device for the uniform positioning of electrical outlet boxes on wall studs during building construction includes a positioning block with a handle and adjustable positioning plates with a vertical guide. The positioning block is held at a preadjusted height by the vertical guide and is shaped to abut flush against a wall stud for proper alignment of the electrical junction box in view of a preadjusted depth associated with the positioning plates. In particular, the positioning plates are variably connected to each side of the positioning block to allow selective variation of the horizontal position of the electrical junction box relative to the face of a wall to be later installed on the stud framework. The depth of the box relative to the later to be installed wall is variably adjustable to allow for different thicknesses of wall cover. Attached to each positioning plate are spring loaded electrical junction box securing bands for holding the electrical junction box in proper alignment during positioning on the wall stud.
