ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) and method for mounting a wiring device (11) on a wall so that mounting on a stud is not necessary. A bracket (16) having a side member (17) is disposed in an opening in the wall such that a side member (17) of the bracket (16) is abutting the rear face of the wall. A mounting clip (25) is disposed in the opening in the wall with an ear (27) on the mounting clip (25) engaging the side member (17) and a flange (28) on the mounting clip (25) abutting the front face of the wall. A fastener passes through the flange (28) on the mounting clip (25), through the wall and into a mounting boss (21) on the side member (17) abutting the rear face of the wall, thereby securing the bracket (16) to the wall.
