Abstract
A box mounting clip for mounting a junction box on a stud mounting bracket includes a base having a front face, a rear face, an upper edge margin, a lower edge margin, a left edge margin, and a right edge margin. A top flange extends forward from the upper edge margin and a bottom flange extends forward from the lower edge margin. The top and bottom flanges are configured to receive a stud mounting bracket therebetween. A positioning tab extends generally forward from the base at an angle and is configured to prevent rotation of the box mounting clip relative to the stud mounting bracket when the stud mounting bracket is received between the top and bottom flanges.

A box mounting clip for mounting a junction box on a stud mounting bracket, the box mounting clip comprising:
- a base having a front face, a rear face, an upper edge margin, a lower edge margin, a left edge margin, and a right edge margin;
- a top flange extending forward from the upper edge margin and a bottom flange extending forward from the lower edge margin, the top and bottom flanges configured to receive and retain a stud mounting bracket therebetween;
- at least one positioning tab extending generally forward from the base at an angle and positioned between the top and bottom flanges, the positioning tab being configured to prevent rotation of the box mounting clip relative to the stud mounting bracket when the stud mounting bracket is received between the top and bottom flanges;
- and
- an attachment flange extending upward from the top flange and configured for attachment to the junction box to mount the junction box on the stud mounting bracket.
A box mounting clip for mounting a junction box on a stud mounting bracket, the box mounting clip comprising:
- a base having a front face, a rear face, an upper edge margin, a lower edge margin, a left edge margin, and a right edge margin;
- a top flange extending forward from the upper edge margin and a bottom flange extending forward from the lower edge margin, the top and bottom flanges configured to receive and retain a stud mounting bracket therebetween such that a top surface of the stud mounting bracket is positioned below the top flange and a bottom surface of the stud mounting bracket is positioned above the bottom flange, wherein the top flange comprises a left leg extending forward from the upper edge margin of the base and a right leg extending forward from the upper edge margin of the base and spaced from the left leg by a gap, such that the left leg and the right leg of the top flange are independently movable relative to the base;
- and
- an upper attachment flange extending upward from the top flange and a lower attachment flange extending downward from the bottom flange, the upper and lower attachment flanges each having an opening and being configured for attachment to a junction box to mount the junction box on the stud mounting bracket.
