Abstract
A mounting assembly for mounting a fixture in an opening in a wall that defines a recess includes a unitary frame housing having a first and second pair of oppositely disposed and spaced side members connected at right angles to define an open interior space. A pair of clamps are provided for engaging the rear surface of a wall and are pivotally connected to a respective first side member by a combination of holes in the clamp, side member and bolts. The hole in the respective side member is larger than the diameter of the bolt to allow the clamps to be pivoted inwardly of the wall opening. When the bolts are tightened, the clamps are moved outwardly and pulled toward the rear surface of the wall to sandwich the wall between a clamp and a first side member. The clamps are self aligning with the flange as they are being tightened together.
