Electrical fixture mounting box and mounting assembly

摘要

An electrical junction box for mounting an electrical fan or other fixture to a structure including a channel having longitudinal teeth for engaging a rafter or other structural member to which the fan is to be attached. The engagement of the mounting box channel with the rafter resists lateral movement in a more substantial fashion thereby assuring that less stress is placed on the electrical box mounting screws. The longitudinal teeth positively engage the rafter when the electrical box is slideably inserted over the rafter. A hole is provided for further securing the electrical box to the rafter with a more conventional screw. A mounting assembly including holsters for providing temporary storage of mounting fasteners is also described. The mounting fasteners may be removed at the job site and used to complete the installation of a fixture to the junction box.
