The plate also includes a generally rectangular wall projecting outwardly from the face of the stud the approximate thickness of the drywall or finish installation, the outwardly projecting wall surrounding a rectangular opening. A pair of bendable tabs projects from the top and bottom edges of the opening and each is adapted to be bent horizontally inwardly to a direction perpendicular to the face of the stud. A hole is provided in the each tab adapted to receive wiring conduit or a tied loose wire. In this manner, when the wall is finished the wiring or conduit is convenient to the rectangular opening for final installation of the outlet. The disclosure also includes the method of installing the outlet which includes the steps of affixing the plate to the stud, bending the tabs and securing wiring or conduit to the tabs, all before the finish installation of the wall. After the wall is finished, the wire or conduit is convenient to the opening and the installation is completed.
