ABSTRACT:
A prepackaged mounting assembly for securing a device, such as a ceiling fan, light fixture, or similar device to an overhead beam. The mounting assembly includes an L-shaped mounting box that includes a first and a second junction box. Each junction box includes an integral arcuate flange portion that cooperate to accept a separately supplied bracket thereon. The bracket includes slots therein and the integral flange portion includes downward extending alignment posts to enable easy centering of the bracket under the mounting box and the overhead beam. All hardware required to complete installation of the device is temporarily secured to the L-shaped box for shipment and storage, including an initial fastener and load bearing fasteners. The L-shaped mounting assembly is especially useful for mounting an electrical device to an existing ceiling.
