ABSTRACT:
A mounting system for attaching a junction block to a surface includes a mounting block having a base for connection to one of the sides of a junction block and a mounting portion attached to and extending away from the base for installing the mounting block on the surface. The junction block sides are configured to receive modular electrical receptacles. The mounting system is attached to the side of the junction block that faces the surface. The mounting portion of the mounting block comprises a wall that is integrally formed with the base. The wall includes one or more apertures sized to receive fasteners for mounting the block to the surface. In an alternative embodiment, a mounting bracket is provided for attachment between the surface and the mounting portion of the mounting block. The mounting bracket includes a bracket wall with first and second spaced-apart support brackets and a retaining tab extending from the wall. The retaining tab is positioned between the first and second support brackets. The mounting portion of the mounting block also has first and second spaced-apart attachment lugs extending rearwardly of the base for slidably engaging the first and second support brackets, respectively. A pair of opposing interlocking movable latch members are hingedly attached to the base and define a channel therebetween for receiving the retaining tab in locking engagement. Each of the interlocking latch members is operable to disengage both of the latch members from the retaining tab in response to an external force on either of the latch members.
