Abstract
A mounting device for mounting plumbing or electrical equipment to a surface is disclosed. The device has a substantially planar body, comprising an engagement arrangement, for engagement with the equipment to be mounted to the mounting device; an opening for allowing passage of an electrical wire and/or a pipe through the plane of the body; alignment means arranged to allow a user to identify a correct location of the opening relative to pipework or cabling fixed to, or protruding from, the surface; and a substantially visually transparent fixing region configured to allow a user to identify a fixing point on the surface while looking through the fixing region, and to locate fixing means in the surface at the fixing point, through the fixing region, to fix the mounting device to the surface.
