A method for assisting installation of an electrical fixture to a mounted electrical junction box. The electrical fixture carries an electrical device having electrical wires to be coupled to electrical lead wires extending from the junction box. The junction box has tabs carrying threaded attachment holes. The fixture has openings alignable with the attachment holes. The method comprises the steps of providing elongate partially threaded attachment rods, one end engagable with the attachment holes, an opposite end and a weakened portion along the rods; passing the rods through the fixture openings engaging the one ends in the attachment holes, supporting fastening members at the opposite ends for temporarily supporting the fixture spaced from the junction box at a distance facilitating access to the wires and leads to permit their manipulation to establish electrical connection; making the connection; after the connection, raising the fixture along the rods above the notches; severing the attachment rods at the weakened portions leaving remnant ends extending through the fixture openings; and applying the fastener members to the remnant ends permanently to secure the fixture installed.

A method of assisting in the installation of an electrical fixture to a mounted electrical junction box, the electrical fixture having a mounting surface carrying an electrical device having electrical wires adapted to be coupled to the electrical lead wires extending from the electrical junction box for effecting electrical connection therebetween, the electrical junction box including mounting tabs carrying threaded attachment holes capable of receiving threaded attachment rod means therethrough, the mounting surface of the electrical fixture having spaced through openings, the spaced openings being alignable with the attachment holes; said method comprising the steps of: providing an elongate at least partially threaded attachment rods, each having a predetermined length, at least one threaded end capable of being engaged within the attachment holes and an opposite end, providing manually effectable separation means at a predetermined selected location between the ends of each said attachment rods, passing the attachment rods through the attachment holes and the openings carried by the fixture with the one threaded ends engaged within said attachment holes and the opposite ends extending from the fixture, supporting the fixture temporarily at said opposite ends spaced a predetermined distance from the junction box for providing manipulative access sufficient to enable manipulation of said electrical wires of the junction box and the electrical lead wires of the electrical device for effecting electrical connection therebetween, establishing the electrical connection, sliding the fixture along the length of the attachment rod to a position above the manually effectable separation means, effecting said manually effectable separation means leaving remnant rod ends extending from the fixture, and permanently securing the fixture on said remnant rod ends in installed condition.
