ABSTRACT:
An electrical outlet box and wall mounting clamps therefor for connection to a wall panel. The clamps comprise a pair of L-shaped members each having a first leg which forms a clamping wall and second leg extending from the first leg at slightly more than a 90.degree. angle. The clamps are mounted by inserting the first leg through an elongated transverse slot in the top and bottom walls of the outlet box. The clamps pivot between a retracted position for insertion of the outlet box through a corresponding aperture in a wall panel and a clamping position for connecting the outlet box to the wall panel. Each clamp is held in the retracted position by an over-center spring lock. Snap buttons on the second leg of each clamp fit into respective apertures in the outlet box when the clamps are in the clamping position.
