The housing may also have at least one fastener receiving aperture through which a fastener may be inserted and engaged to the wall framing member to engage the housing to a wall. Further, the fastener receiving aperture may extend laterally or diagonally from the housing such that passage of the fastener through the aperture secures the housing to wall framing members laterally or diagonally adjacent a mounting periphery of the housing.
