A threaded attachment rod for use in assisting the installation of an electrical fixture to a structurally mounted electrical junction box. The attachment rod has opposite threaded end portions, one end threadably engagable with the junction box and an opposite end portion. The attachment rod has a fastener engaged with the opposite end thereof and a notch formed at a predetermined location between the ends thereof. The fastener is adapted to support the fixture temporarily at a distance from the junction box sufficient to provide access sufficient to complete an electrical connection between the wires from the junction box and from the electrical device carried by the fixture. An upset portion is formed in a threaded length of the attachment rod above the notch. After completion of the connection, the fixture and the fastener both are moved above both the upset portion and the notch, the attachment rod severed leaving the remnant portion passing through the fixture opening and possibly extending unduly outward of or interior of the fixture with the fastener supporting the fixture permanently. The fastener then can be rotated further, engaging the upset portion and being jammed thereon. Further rotation of the fastener causes the remnant portion to be rotated, withdrawing the undue extension thereof.
