Abstract
In one embodiment of the invention, the electrical fixture mounting assembly includes a junction box having a junction box cavity defined therein, and a mounting bracket disposed on the junction box. There is a fastener attachment site on the mounting bracket along with a fastener disposed thereon. The fastener is moveable between an extended position and a retracted position. The fastener is sufficiently long so that it extends outwardly of the junction box cavity when the fastener is in its extended position, and the fastener is contained substantially within the junction box cavity when the fastener is in its retracted position. The fastener and the fastener attachment site are configured so that a plastic coating on a plastic-coated wire is not abraded thereby. The box may be made of plastic and the fastener may be made of metal. There is likewise disclosed a method of installing an electrical fixture mounting assembly.
