An apparatus is described for use in positioning an electrical box such as an outlet box or a switch box at either side of a vertically disposed stud and at a predetermined distance outwardly from the stud for compensation for various wall thicknesses. The apparatus comprises a U-shaped member which is selectively vertically mounted on a vertically disposed support such as a post or rod. Threaded positioning pins extend from the U-shaped member to enable the apparatus to be positioned relative to the stud to compensate for various wall thicknesses. The U-shaped member includes retaining pins upon which the electrical box is removably mounted. When the electrical box has been positioned on the retaining pins, the apparatus is positioned adjacent the wall stud and the box is secured to the stud by nails or the like. The apparatus may then be removed from the installed box. The apparatus may be rotated 180 DEG to facilitate the installation of switch boxes as well.
