Abstract
An electrical wiring box arrangement particularly adapted for mounting on a metal support structure such as a U-shaped or I-shaped metal dry-wall stud includes an L-shaped mounting bracket with deformable leg portions and a wiring box. The wall structure of the box is provided with attachment tabs and the bracket with a number of correspondingly positioned tab-receiving openings which permit flush mounting of the wiring box arrangement with a variety of thicknesses of dry-wall panel. The legs of the mounting bracket are easily deformed by hand around the flanges of the metal stud permitting the mounting of the wiring box arrangement to either side of the stud and to metal studs of a variety of depths.
