Abstract
A bracket assembly supports an electrical box between wall studs. The bracket assembly includes an elongate vertical bracket having a first end for attachment to a horizontal stud and an opposed upper end. An elongate horizontal bracket is affixed to the upper end of the vertical bracket. The horizontal bracket includes a pair of opposed ends for attachment to spaced apart vertical studs. The horizontal bracket defines a frame including a plurality of openings.
The frame accommodates on side thereof an electrical box about each opening and accommodates on the other side thereof a mud ring about each opening.
The frame accommodates on side thereof an electrical box about each opening and accommodates on the other side thereof a mud ring about each opening.
