Something tells me it's got something to do with the transformer & what's keeping it from defying gravity....

-Randy

That's what I'm thinking. How are the four ends of that bracket anchored to the studs?

I've seen transformers wall-mounted before, but all of them used verticle pieces of strut bolted to the studs to distribute the weight beyond just a couple of small anchor points. The verticle members also strengthen the bracket as a whole.

Even better than that is to attach the verticle strut to some horizontal pieces so that the weight is uniformly distributed across more than two studs.

I think that Randy is on the right track.

The only thing that I can find to quibble about is the strut bracket for the transformer comes very close to the front of the gutter. Will the gutter cover open to 90°? Do you have to remove the cover for access to the gutter?

That's my guess, FWIW.

GJ,
It's a screw cover wireway, and isn't hinged.
Just remove screws (theoretically loosen, but never works that way), and off comes the cover.
