1. An electrical assembly for mounting in a floor or work surface, said electrical assembly comprising:
an upper bezel defining a longitudinal bezel axis;
a plurality of fastener receivers positioned below said upper bezel;
a lower insert spaced below said upper bezel and said fastener receivers, said lower insert having a longitudinal insert axis, wherein said lower insert is positionable with the longitudinal insert axis in parallel alignment with the longitudinal bezel axis, said lower insert defining a plurality of recesses; and
a plurality of coupling fasteners having lower portions received in respective ones of said recesses, and upper portions extending above said lower insert and threadedly secured at respective ones of said fastener receivers above said lower insert;
wherein said lower portions of said coupling fasteners are axially movable within said recesses and without rotation, to permit said lower insert to move a limited distance along the longitudinal insert axis; and
wherein said lower insert is tiltable relative to said upper bezel with the longitudinal insert axis oriented in non-parallel alignment with the longitudinal bezel axis in response to positioning of said fastener receivers at different positions along respective ones of said coupling fasteners.
