Abstract:
1. A method comprising: selecting an assembly defining longitudinal, lateral, and transverse directions substantially orthogonal to one another, the assembly comprising a face plate, an electrical fixture, and at least one anchor, the electrical fixture comprising a flange extending in the longitudinal and lateral directions, the flange having at least one aperture extending in the transverse direction therethrough, the at least one anchor connected to the flange to extend in the transverse direction away therefrom, the face plate comprising at least one engagement prong extending in the transverse direction to penetrate and engage the at least one aperture of the flange; selecting a conductor having a length extending from within, to a location outside, a connection box; connecting the conductor to the electrical fixture outside the connection box; aligning, after the connecting, the assembly in the longitudinal and lateral directions with respect to the connection box; and securing, after the aligning, the assembly to a connection box exclusively by directly manipulating at least one of the electrical fixture and the face plate to move the assembly in the transverse direction in linear translation until the at least one anchor latches with the connection box.
