Abstract
An electrical junction box or mounting assembly includes a 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 provided. A dimple is provided in the top wall, and the fixture support engages the dimple. The fixture support may be sufficiently smooth for preventing wear to plastic-coated electrical wire which engages exposed surfaces of the fixture support. A side mounting plate may be provided for attaching the box to the side of a support. An adhesive may be provided for securing the box to a support. A fixture support-receiving cavity not connected with the main junction box cavity may be provided.
