Abstract

An electrical box is removeably anchored in an insulated foam building wall panel. The electrical box comprises a receptacle that is inserted into a recess cut in the foam panel. Assembled to the receptacle back wall are one or more tabs. The tabs are pivotable from a storage position inside the receptacle to a working position whereat they project through slots in the receptacle and embed in the foam panel. The tabs are assembled to the receptacle by pivoting members, each comprising a screw that is turnable from outside the receptacle. The pivoting member may produce a friction torque on the tab by gripping the tab between the screw head and a nut. Alternately, the tab may have a non-circular hole that matches and receives a section of the screw to produce a positive torque on the tab. A drag is also produced on each tab to prevent unintentional pivoting.
