Abstract of The Disclosure A mounting strap for attaching a wiring device to a utility box behind a wall opening. The mounting strap is fixedly connected to the wiring device body and includes ears extending outwardly from opposite ends of the device and having the usual openings for loose passage of mounting screws. The openings are surrounded by a deformable portion connected to an adjoining area of the strap by a bendable portion. The deformable portion is separated from other adjoining areas by cut-out or structurally weakened areas, whereby tightening of the mounting screws causes the bendable portion to bend, moving the deformable portion relative to and out of the plane of the adjacent areas of the ears as such areas are maintained in their original plane, e.g., by terminal edge portions of the ears engaging the wall surface adjacent the opening therein providing access to the utility box.
