Universal Box Mounting Adapter and System

摘要

Improvements in a universal box mounting adapter and system for mounting 4″ and 4 11/16″ boxes directly to stud using side tabs. In addition, the UBM features a bendable back support for rigid installations. The novel feature of this product is the integral conduit support flange. This flange features slots and pinholes for use with a wide assortment of conduit supporting accessories. The adapter can be used with a kick bracket for placing junction boxes between studs at desired heights. The kick bracket can be mounted either vertically or horizontally and features pinholes along the length for adjusting the location of the adapter. Along with integral wings for supporting the kick bracket when installed vertically, the adapter and kick bracket make up a system of configurations to meet the needs of an installer. The adapter is configurable for installing multiple boxes between either 16″ or 24″ studs.
