Abstract
A mounting assembly includes a junction box having a top wall and a side wall. The side wall extends downwardly away from the top wall and defines a cavity therein. A fixture support is disposed in the cavity. A recess or removed portion is provided on the support, and the removed portion is configured for receiving the inner face of the radiused portion of the box disposed between the top wall and side wall so as to not interfere therewith. A threaded hole for receiving fasteners of a fixture to be supported thereby may be provided on the fixture support. Preferably, the fixture support is sufficiently smooth for preventing wear to plastic-coated electrical wire which engages exposed surfaces of the fixture support.
