Claim:
An improved arrangement for mounting a junction box in a hollow core of a masonry block, the junction box having a thickness along a pair of side walls thereof defined by a separation of a generally-open front face from a generally-closed outside rear face, the improvement comprising: a resilient tail-like member, extending away from the outside rear face of the junction box, the tail-like member having first and second ends with at least one bend or curvature along an intermediate portion between the ends, the tail-like member having a length such that, in a compressed state of the tail-like member, the second end bears against a first inside wall of the hollow core and at least portions of the junction box front face bear against an opposing second inside wall of the hollow core; and a U-shaped band, secured to the tail-like member, having arms that wrap around the side wall and a cross portion that passes across the rear face of the junction box to secure the tail-like member to the junction box.
