ABSTRACT:
An outlet box assembly that simplifies the installation of an electrical box to a block wall. The assembly includes a box and a base plate. The box includes sidewalls, an open front with a planar front edge, and one or more side arms projecting from the sidewalls in a plane parallel to the planar front. The side arms include one or more apertures for receipt of fasteners. The base plate is substantially larger in area than the sidewalls of the box and includes an opening therein sized to accept the sidewalls of the box. The box is secured to a block wall by creating a hole in the wall at the desired location, positioning the base plate over the hole and against the wall, placing the box through the opening in the base plate until the back surface of the arms are flush with the base plate, and driving fasteners through one or more of the apertures in the side arms, through the base plate, and into the cement block.
