An adjustable mounting lug for an electrical box that diminishes the degree of play of the adjustable mounting lug relative to at least an orientation of a front face of the electrical box. Sidewalls of the adjustable mounting lug can include a first portion comprising a first segment, and a second portion comprising a first inclined side, an intermediate curved side, and a second inclined side. The second portion can be configured accommodate the adjustable mounting lug having a relatively large height while maintaining at least a minimum length of a bottom wall of the adjustable mounting lug that is supported by a support louvre of the electrical box. The second portion also provides the sidewalls of the larger adjustable mounting lug with a configuration that can prevent the adjustable mounting lug from interfering with at least fittings in the box that can be associated with relatively large knockout openings.
