A mounting bracket is provided for an electrical device that can be configured for use with a support that has a first and a second rail. The mounting bracket can include a mounting body with a mounting face configured to secure the electrical device to the mounting bracket between the first and second rails when the mounting bracket is secured to the support. The mounting bracket can include a first attachment device connected to the mounting body and a second attachment device connected to the mounting body opposite the first attachment device. Each of the first and second attachment devices can include a first arm configured to engage with a first side of the corresponding first or second rail, and a second arm configured to engage with a second side of the corresponding rail, opposite the first arm.

Electric boxes and hanging brackets and more particularly adjustable electric boxes with parallel rails for connection with reciprocal parallel grooves in a hanging bracket that is configured to connect to a support, for example, a wall stud.

An apparatus, such as an electrical device or a wall box, may have a mounting mechanism that may be configured to mount the apparatus to a wall in a manner that may facilitate secure fastening to the wall. The apparatus may comprise at least one mounting clamp that may have a fin and a drum that receives a mounting screw. The fin of the mounting clamp may be configured to be located within a pocket formed in the body. When a mounting screw is driven, the mounting clamp may rotate from the pocket into a position in which the drum of the mounting clamp may be received in a channel formed in the body. The drum may be configured to move through the channel as the mounting screw is further driven. The gap may be sized to retain the mounting clamp within the channel as the drum moves therethrough.

An electrical box for accommodating at least one duplex electrical outlet including a first side, a second side having a mount opening therein. The electrical box also includes a mounting tube. The mounting tube is mountable to the mount opening. The mounting tube further includes first tubular member having a first length, and a second member fittable within the first tubular member. The second member further includes a tubular main body including a tubular portion fittable within the first tubular member, and a first end including a stop. The first end and stop engage the mount opening in the second side.

A housing assembly is adapted for housing fully pre-wired printed circuit boards populated with diverse electrical components. The housing assembly includes multiple nipples and an optimized geometry for mounting to or mounting within commonly available conduit-related fixtures in a variety of installation configurations. These installation configurations allow for simpler wire routing where voltage separation is required, for greater accessibility to gang junction box cover plates on gang junction boxes to which the housing assembly is mounted, and for more installation options for wide range of common gang junction boxes as compared to existing housings.

A sanitary wall installation connection box unit, including a box housing body having a rear-side base portion and a sleeve portion projecting to the front from the base portion, which sleeve portion peripherally surrounds a sanitary component mounting space, which space is accessible via an open front end face of the sleeve portion, and a connector body disposed on the base portion of the box housing body, which connector body includes a sanitary component connection contour facing the sanitary component mounting space, a fluid line connection interface structure accessible on an outer side of the box housing body, a fluid conduit structure for fluid connection of the fluid line connection interface structure to the sanitary component connection contour and at least one electric line feed-through opening leading from an outer side of the connector body through the connector body to the sanitary component mounting space. Illustratively, the base portion of the box housing body is made of a sealing resilient material at least in an electric line connection region adjacent to the electric line feed-through opening of the connector body, and the electric line feed-through opening of the connector body is covered on an outer side by a closure membrane made of the sealing resilient material of the electric line connection region of the base portion.

An electrical connection assembly includes an electrical box including a housing having an internal surface defining an internal volume of the housing. An electrical connector is positioned outside the internal volume of the housing and fixed to the housing with a fastener. The housing includes an aperture having an opening defining an insertion path extending from a location external to the housing along a frame of the electrical connector to a location within the internal volume of the housing. The assembly includes a disc mechanically secured to the housing relative to the opening to obstruct the insertion path. A retainer and a bushing including a membrane for the electrical connector as well as methods of making an electrical connector are also provided.

A magnetic plug and method of plugging unwanted knockout holes in electrical containment enclosures. The method requires only one hand and is performed without tools. Everything can be done from outside the electrical containment enclosure. The actual plugging step is completed in a few seconds. One of nine invented plugs is selected to best match the nine standardized hole diameters found in electrical containment enclosures. Selecting the correct plug size results in the best fit and feel since perception matters. Savings in time and money is expected to pay back the cost of a plug.

A backer plate for use with an electrical box extender to form an electrical box is provided. The backer plate includes a planar wall defining a perimeter, four edges along the perimeter, and four corners between adjacent edges, the planar wall further defining at least a first threaded opening located at a first corner of the four corners and a second threaded opening located at a second corner of the four corners, wherein the first and second threaded opening are configured to rotatably engage with a first and second threaded fastener, respectively, to fasten the electrical box extender to the planar wall of the backer plate to form the electrical box

A floor box for housing electrical components includes a bottom and a plurality of walls extending from the bottom to at least partially define an interior and to at least partially define a central opening accessible to a user. A top plate having an inner portion at least partially defining a first wiring compartment facing the central opening and a second wiring compartment facing the central opening is connected to at least one of the plurality of walls.
