ABSTRACT:
A mounting bracket for electrical boxes includes a base having a deformable portion extending therefrom and terminating in a flange having a screw receiving bore. A screw freely extends through a hole in the base into threaded engagement with the bore and the flange. Tightening of the screw moves the flange toward the base to deform the deformable portion laterally for engaging a wall to hold an electrical box or the like in an opening through the wall. The base has legs extending therefrom in a direction opposite from the deformable portion for location on opposite sides of a boss on an electrical box. Wings extend outwardly from the legs and hook portions extend back toward the base from the wings for engaging shoulders on an electrical box.
