Caution: Be sure power is off at the main breaker box prior to installation.
1. Carefully unpack the fixture from the carton.
2. Thread Jam Nuts (A) and Crossbar (B) onto threaded nipple (C) leave parts
loose.
3. Using two machine screws (not provided), temporarily fasten the crossbar (B) to
the electric box.
Note: A new electric box comes with screws. When replacing a fixture, retain the
existing screws for use with the new fixture.
4. Adjust the length of Threaded Nipple (C) in crossbar (B) so that Canopy Ring (E)
will hold Canopy (D) against the ceiling with no threads showing for best
appearance. When the correct adjustment is established, tighten Jam Nuts (A)
against crossbar (B) to hold the adjustment.

3. Apply a drop of the supplied thread locking compound to the internal threads of
fixture coupling (U) and screw fixture pipe (H) into fixture, being careful not to twist
or pinch the wires.
Note: Application of the thread locking compound is necessary to prevent the stem
from loosening during regular maintenance and cleaning of the fixture. Be certain to
apply the compound.
4. Unscrew the clutch (J) from the fixture pipe (H); slide it across the wires and onto the
canopy pipe (G). Follow this with the plastic clutch sleeve (I), oriented so the tapered
end of the clutch sleeve nests in the clutch (Figure 2).
5. Thread wires from the fixture pipe (H) through the canopy pipe (G).
6. Slide the canopy pipe (G) as far as necessary to give you the total length of the
fixture which you desire. Be careful not to scratch the pipe surfaces and to pull
excess wire up through the canopy pipe (G). There must be a minimum 1-1/2" of
inner pipe inside the outer pipe. Screw clutch (J) onto canopy pipe and hand-tighten
the clutch to temporarily hold this adjustment. The clutch is not securely fastened at
this point; do not depend on it to hold the fixture.
Important: To ensure full connection strength, be sure the tapered end of the plastic
clutch sleeve is oriented toward the clutch when assembled and securely tighten set
screw (Figure 2).
7. Using two machine screws (not provided), fasten the crossbar to the electric box.
Note: A new electric box comes with screws. When replacing a fixture, retain the
existing screws for use with the new fixture.
8. Using suitable wire connectors (not provided), connect fixture wires to supply wires
(white to white or ribbed side of the fixture cord, black to black or smooth side, and
bare copper to bare copper or green supply). Push wires back into outlet box.
Caution: Make sure wire connectors are twisted on securely, and no bare wire is
exposed.
9. Slide fixture canopy (D) against ceiling, and secure with canopy ring (E).
10. Once the fixture is fastened to the ceiling, tighten the set screw (K) in clutch (J)
firmly with hex wrench provided. Only after the set screw (K) is tight should you
install the glass.
11. Refer to instructions below to install bulb and glass.

To Install Bulb
Component Parts
L Bulb Shield
M Bulb
N Socket
1. Install light bulb (M). Be careful not to
touch bulb with bare hands; oil from the
hands will dramatically reduce bulb life.
2. Thread bulb shield (L) onto socket (N) (be
careful not to over tighten). Future bulb
changes may be accomplished by snapping
glass portion of shield on and off rather than
unthreading the holder.

1. Remove glass retainer (S) from bottom of fixture by
removing tensioning screw (T) and turning the glass
retainer 45 degrees to allow it to drop out of the bottom of
the fixture.
2. Place glass (Q) into glass retainer (S).
3. Lift glass (Q) and glass retainer (S) up to fixture assembly
(O) aligning retainer tabs (R) with fixture slots (P).
4. Lift so retainer tab (R) slips completely through fixture
slot (P).
5. Turn glass (Q) and glass retainer (S) approximately 45
degrees so glass retainer stays in place.
6. Turn tensioning screw (T) to secure glass retainer (S) to
fixture assembly (O). Turn until snug and glass retainer will not spin
(Figure 5)
freely.
