An adaptor assembly makes it possible to mount an electric fixture, such as a ceiling fan or electric lighting fixture, to a ceiling with a slope greater than 32.degree.. The adaptor assembly includes a slope angle extension cover formed as a truncated conical surface with a bottom end lying in a first plane adapted for attachment to a standard fixture canopy and a top end lying in a second plane at an angle of 26.degree. to the first plane and adapted to be attached through an adaptor mounting plate to a junction box mounted in a recess in the ceiling. The mounting plate has a plurality of radial slots and is rotated to bring a pair of slots in alignment with screw holes in mounting lugs on the junction box for attachment with screws. The mounting plate has a pair of deformations providing flat wall portions which, when the mounting plate is installed are in parallel to the bottom end of the extension cover. A pair of screws each extend through the flat wall portion of a deformation and a screw hole provided through the bottom end of the cover to mount the cover with the top end confronting and parallel to the sloped ceiling. An insulation disk is sandwiched between the mounting plate and the ceiling and is secured to the mounting plate by a pair of adhesive tabs.
