Abstract
A mounting strap device can be configured to mount a number of different types of wallplates of decreasing length. A central body portion has removable tabs which engage a wallplate of a first length and a first type. The removable tabs can be removed to expose pairs of removable members at the strap device ends which contain flexible latch pawls to mount a second, shorter type wallplate. The removable members can be removed to allow the mounting strap device to be fixed to a shorter length, third type wallplate by means of threaded fasteners.
