Abstract
A device and method for mounting electrical boxes () in preexisting drywall () using a mounting bracket (). To use, a holding wire () having a stop () on one end is placed through a screw hole () of a cover () which is attached the electrical box. Then the electrical box and cover are placed sideways through a wall hole () in the drywall. Next the electrical box is lowered behind the wall so that conduit () may be connected to the electrical box. Then a mounting bracket () is secured to the cover and electrical box with holding clips () and screws () using the holding wire to keep the mounting bracket and cover centered with the wall hole. A standard switch or outlet cover may then be installed to cover the mounting bracket. An additional novel feature of the present invention is a stop strap () which may be attached to conduit above a top plate () of a wall to bold the conduit in place.
