One low voltage old work bracket can be ganged into a two-gang, three-gang, four-gang, etc. bracket with no modifications to the single bracket unit. The side walls are staggered so that the first side wall from the second bracket fits over the second side wall from the first bracket. Corresponding tongues and grooves hold the ganged brackets together. Each bracket preferably includes a wire retention tab and a pair of swing arms on opposing corners of the bracket frame.
A ganged electrical device which supports electrical components. The ganged electrical device includes a housing having first and second opposed elongate side walls and a pair of end walls joining the side walls. The first and second side walls include cooperative attachment structure for attaching the first side wall of one housing to a second side wall of another identical housing to place the respective first and second side walls in side-by-side engagement.
An electrical box is disclosed for supporting and containing electrical devices and wiring including low voltage devices and wiring such as used for telephones, televisions, computers, and security systems, for example, wherein a rigidity of the box is maximized.
A multi-part mounting assembly for securing a plurality of individual pathway conduits relative to one another extending through a wall panel between adjacently positioned wall studs including two support members extending parallel to one another and defining therebetween a pathway conduit zone for receiving the individual conduits along with end members for providing sealing at the outermost edges and one or more partitioning means securable at a plurality of discrete positions within slots defined in the support members and being securable with respect to the support members and including set screws for safely holding pathway conduits in position extending therethrough.
An electrical bracket for mounting an electrical device having a wall structure defining a front opening. In one embodiment, the bracket includes at least one breakaway mounting member which can be used to mount the bracket to a surface or be removed when the member is not needed. In another embodiment, the bracket includes at least one breakaway alignment member which can be used to align the bracket to a mountable surface or be removed when the member is not needed. The bracket can further be mounted to a surface in a plurality of orientations.
A gangable electrical unit for positioning an electrical component beside an electrical outlet box includes a bracket with a wall structure and an adhering element for mounting the wall structure of the bracket on a wall of an electrical outlet box. In one embodiment, the adhering element is positioned on an outward facing wall of the bracket. The invention also relates to a ganged electrical outlet box incorporating the gangable electrical unit.
