Abstract

Electrical accessories and associated methods of use and manufacture are shown and described. In one example embodiment, a system includes a plurality of electrical junction boxes. Each electrical junction box includes at least one wall with a pair of spaced-apart holes, wherein the holes are sized and shaped to receive a pair of corresponding mounting devices. The system also includes at least one mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes a pair of spaced-apart mounting devices, wherein the mounting devices are sized and shaped to protrude through the pair of corresponding spaced-apart holes in the plurality of electrical junction boxes. At least one of the plurality of electrical junction boxes is maintained in a relative stationary position with respect to the at least one bracket when the pair of spaced-apart mounting devices protrudes through the respective pair of spaced-apart holes in the wall of the at least one electrical junction box.
