Abstract: A mounting arrangement for electrical outlet boxes or the like includes a generally U-shaped clip having a longitudinal axis and a generally flat base extending substantially perpendicular to the axis. A fastener receiving aperture extends through the base, and opposite legs diverge outwardly from the base at included angles with the base greater than 90.degree. and substantially less than 180.degree.. The legs are yieldably deformable toward the longitudinal axis and have inwardly extending clamping portions adjacent the terminal ends thereof. The legs include terminal end portions extending outwardly from the clamping portions.
