ABSTRACT:
An outlet box (the term "outlet box" is also intended to encompass a junction box) mounting bracket useful for mounting an outlet box has slots to accept the shanks of outlet box mounting screws to eliminate the necessity of removing the screws when assembling the outlet box to one side of the bracket and a dry wall ring to the opposite side of the bracket. The bracket has an L-shape with right angled plate portions at one end, one of which plate portions is adapted to serve as a stiffening arm between the walls. At the opposite end, another flat plate portion is adapted to be secured to an extension plate in turn secured to a stud. In one embodiment, a recessed plate portion between the ends of the bracket contains the mentioned slots around an opening which registers with the interior chamber of the box and brings the outer surface of a dry wall ring in the same plane as the front outermost plane of the bracket. The extension plate has sets of holes enabling the bracket and thus the outlet box to be adjustably offset from the stud.
