ABSTRACT:
An electrical receptacle box mountable to a vertical upright wall stud and a method of installation thereof. A receptacle box housing has an open front and a hollow tubular mounting stem extended from one side wall thereof. The mounting stem is adapted to be inserted through a hole formed in the wall stud with the outer end extended through the opposite side of the wall stud. A coupler is secured to the outer end to secure the housing to the wall stud. A plurality of ears are located in the housing recessed with respect to the front opening to receive feet of a mounting ring for mounting electrical receptacles. The ears are recessed so that a hole can be formed in wallboard installed over the receptacle housing in substantial conformance to the front opening of the housing.
