Abstract:

An electrical insulating box assembly mounts an electrical fixture to a structure and electrically connects the electrical fixture to branch circuit wiring. The electrical box insulating assembly has a base having an upper surface, a lower surface, an outer edge, and a first plurality of openings extending through the base. A first wall extends downwardly from the base outer edge and is adapted to fit within an aperture in a surface. A flange extends radially outwardly from the first wall. A second wall extends upwardly from the upper surface of the base. A plurality of first terminals extend through the base and are positioned within the second wall. Each of the first terminals has a first end for receiving electrical conductors from branch circuit wiring and a second end for receiving electrical conductors from the electrical fixture. A cover attached to the second wall forms an enclosure to house the plurality of first terminals. Clips coupled to the insulating box assembly opposite to the flange mount the insulating box assembly by gripping the surface between the clips and the flange.
