ABSTRACT:
An electrical receptacle box assembly mountable on a metal wall stud prepared with a plurality of mounting holes on a major side member thereof arranged in an ordered pattern. The assembly includes a box-like housing carrying a first set of bendable mounting tabs arranged in a pattern corresponding to the hole pattern on the metal wall stud. The tabs are insertable in the holes on the wall stud and can be bent in order to secure the housing. A second set of bendable mounting tabs are detachably connected to the housing and extend outward beyond the first set such that the user has a choice of mounting the housing to the wall stud using the first or second set of bendable mounting tabs. When the first set is used, the second set of tabs are first detached from the housing.
