ABSTRACT:
A recessed low voltage mounting assembly including a low voltage mounting bracket and a trim plate for installing a low voltage electrical component in either old work or new construction. Two options are provided for mounting the assembly to the wall. In new construction, two captive fasteners in the mounting bracket are available to be driven into a stud or other framework of the building. In an old work situation, rotatable flags are provided for securing the assembly to the wall. Adjustment screws for rotating and tightening the flags are accessible through apertures in the trim plate. The assembly recesses the low voltage component behind the wall surface, thereby enabling placement of low voltage devices in close proximity to the wall and mounting assembly. A second embodiment provides a one-piece version of the low voltage mounting assembly in which the trim plate is integral with the bracket.
