ABSTRACT:
An outlet box (the term "outlet box" is also intended to encompass a junction box) mounting bracket 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 on one or both sides of the bracket adapted to engage and be secured to side and front surfaces of a stud or the back of a wall and a recessed plate portion on the other side of the bracket containing the mentioned slots around an opening which registers with the interior chamber of the box and arranged to bring the outer surface of a dry wall ring in the same plane as the front outermost plane of the bracket.
