Abstract

See full text

An electrical box bracket includes features allowing it to engage multiple surfaces of a stud. The bracket has a front face for mounting an electrical box and a plaster ring, and a far-side tab bent backwards from the front face for making contact with a drywall behind the bracket. The front face has one or more arms that fit over the front face of a metal stud to which the bracket is to be attached. The front face also has one or more flanges projecting rearward from the same opposite sides of the front face, with stud-lock tabs for engaging a side surface or edge of a side flange of a stud. The bracket has legs that extend from the far-side tab, where the legs are foldable by an end-user to engage side surfaces of the metal stud at different distances from the far-side tab.
