A device for securely positioning an electrical junction box in a wall cavity of a building structure, the device having a first portion including; a supporting flange, a riser and a three sided box, stamped or molded as a single member, wherein the supporting flange can be secured to any structural member of the wall to position the electrical junction box in any pre-determined location, the box having a depth equal to the width of the inside of the wall cavity and adapted to receive electrical cables for coupling or connection to an electrical device. A second portion of the device is a face plate for forming the front covering of the electrical box, and adapted to be joined to an electrical device and/or cover plate, the face plate having two extended sides. The extended sides of the face plate when positioned in alignment with the three sided box of the first portion it closes the electrical junction box. The face plate is also adapted to have an electrical device or a cover plate secured thereto. The device enables a laborer to securely install an electrical junction box in any location of a wall cavity regardless of the location of structural wall members.
An electrical junction box for mounting in a wall cavity of a building structure, said wall cavity being defined by a base plate, a top plate, vertical structural members, and a front and rear wall surface, said electrical junction box for receiving electrical cable in said wall cavity comprising:
