ABSTRACT:
An outlet box mounting bracket has oversize openings to accept the heads of outlet box screws therethrough without necessitating removal of the screws. A dry wall ring is slotted to facilitate engagement of the ring with the shanks of the outlet box screws after the screws have been passed through the mounting bracket oversize openings. A variable length right angle extension on the mounting bracket engages the dry wall at the far side of the wall stud to which the mounting bracket is attached and stabilizes the outlet box, thereby eliminating the necessity for further anchoring screws with a consequent saving of installation labor and time. The mounting bracket is attached directly to a stud in the wall by one pair of screws.
