The present invention provides a clamp assembly for clamping an electrical wire to the wall of the electrical outlet box. The clamp assembly includes a wire clamp non-rotatably supported in the box adjacent to the wall. The wire clamp has an internally threaded aperture therethrough. A threaded screw assembly is captively retained in the box for rotating movement without longitudinal displacement. The threaded screw extends through the threaded aperture of the clamp such that upon rotating movement of the screw, the clamp is longitudinally movable therealong.
