Abstract
An electrical bracket is for mounting an electrical device to a wall stud. The bracket includes a rectangular frame having first and second opposite end walls and first and second opposite side walls. The bracket further includes a front opening surrounded by the end walls and side walls for inserting an electrical device into the frame. The frame has an end-mounted position in which the first end wall faces the stud. A fastening structure, connected to the frame, is configured to be fastened to the stud when the frame is in the end-mounted position. An extension extends rearward from the first end wall. A stabilizer extends from the extension into abutting contact with the stud at a location rearward from the frame when the frame is in the end-mounted position.
