Abstract

A junction box for electrical wiring includes a housing and a base plate. The housing is adapted to removably connect with the base plate to house the electrical connection. The base plate is secured to a support beam to provide stability to the junction box. The housing and the base plate are either of a unitary structure, or include tabs and/or attachment flanges that provide additional access and stability to the electrical connection, while reducing strain. The junction box may be secured to the support beam via a telescoping bar hanger.
