A bracket for supporting an electrical conductor of an electrical box comprising:
- a first portion configured to be coupled to an outer surface of the electrical box;
- and
- a second portion coupled to the first portion and pivotable relative to the first portion, the second portion including a flange, at first leg pivotally connected to the first portion and a second leg pivotally connected to the first portion spaced from the first leg,
- wherein the flange includes a rectangular support portion extending around an elongated opening and a plurality of tabs moveably connected to the support portion, wherein the tabs are configured to support an electrical conductor.
A bracket for connecting an elongated member to an electrical box comprising:
- a bracket body having a planar portion;
- a first finger extending outwardly from the planar portion in a first direction, the first finger including a first c-shaped profile;
- and
- a second finger extending outwardly from the planar portion in a second direction opposite the first direction, the second finger including a second c-shaped profile,
- wherein the bracket body is configured to be secured to a first side of an electrical box, and
- wherein the first c-shaped profile is configured to extend around a first portion of an elongated member and the second c-shaped profile is configured to extend around a second portion of the elongated member to secure the electrical box to the elongated member.
A bracket for connecting an elongated member to an electrical box comprising:
- a bracket body having a planar portion with a proximal end configured to connect to an electrical box and a distal end spaced from the electrical box, the distal end including a plurality of openings;
- a flange extending from the distal end of the bracket body;
- and
- a clip connected to at least one of the plurality of openings, the clip configured to support a conduit extending into the electrical box.
An electrical box and support bracket assembly comprising:
- an electrical box having a rear surface and a plurality of sides defining an interior;
- a first bracket connected to the electrical box and configured to support a conductor extending into the electrical box, wherein the first bracket includes a first portion secured to the electrical box, a second portion movably connected to the first portion, and a plurality of tabs movably connected to the second portion;
- and
- a second bracket connected to the electrical box and configured to support an elongated member.
