Abstract
An exterior mounting block for electrical fixtures includes a plastic block having a nailing flange and screw holes adapted to support either a duplex outlet or a light fixture. The holes are spaced either along the central axis of the block for a duplex, or spaced diagonally relative to each other on sidewalls to support a light fixture. The block is formed from a white, fire-resistant material and includes a cover plate formed from a non-fire-resistant material or from a metal material.
