Abstract
A stub-out bar has a first bar telescopically and slidably receiving a second bar. Holes and slots are formed on the first bar and the second bar, respectively. While attaching a fixture on the stub-out bar, one of the holes is aligned with one slot to allow a fastener to thread through. The first and the second bars each has a bendable tab extending from a front plate thereof. The bendable tabs are positioned at two opposite ends of the stub-out bar such that the stub-out bar can be mounted in different surfaces of joists by simply bending the bendable tabs. The stub-out bar has an open cross-section, in a box-shape. The first and second bars are made of a sufficiently heavy gauge of metal that heavy-duty applications such as bathroom tub and shower fixtures can be supported.
