Abstract

A mounting clip and method of use are provided. The mounting clip is monolithically formed and includes a plurality of bends defining portions of the clip. The mounting clip has a first bend at a midpoint between the first end and the second end of the material that defines a substantially V-shaped body. Each of the first end and the second end defines a tab portion where a first tab portion is defined by a bend a first distance from the first end and a second tab portion is defined by a bend a second distance from the end. To use the mounting clip a user can mount a portion of a fixture in the first bend and can secure the clip to a structure utilizing each of the tab portions.
