Abstract
An electrical fixture mounting assembly includes a junction box having a wall defining a junction box cavity therein. There are provided one or more members on the wall for attaching the junction box to a support. The attachment members include spaced apart mounting brackets which are configured for engaging various sizes and shapes of supports. In addition, there may be provided adhesive members for supplementing and/or replacing the attachment members so that the fixture mounting assembly can be readily attached to a variety of surfaces. Additional features include features which transfer static and dynamic loads directly from a supported fixture to the mounting bracket and substantially without transferring such forces to the associated junction box. Depth indicators for various drywall thicknesses may be provided, as well as movable elements for accommodating different drywall thicknesses.
