3. Apply a drop of the supplied thread locking compound to the internal threads of fixture

coupling (B) and screw stem 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.

Complete Assembly & Install Fixture

Component Parts

A Fixture Pipe
F Canopy
G Canopy Ring
H Canopy Pipe
I Plastic Sleeve
J Clutch
K Set Screw

(Figures 3 & 4)

Caution: Be sure power is off at the main breaker box prior to
installation.

1. Place canopy (F) over canopy pipe (H), followed by canopy ring (G). Make sure

smaller diameter side of canopy ring is oriented up toward the canopy.

2. Thread wires from the fixture pipe (A) through the canopy pipe (H).

3. Unscrew the clutch (J) from the canopy pipe (H); slide it across the wires and onto

the fixture pipe (A). Follow this with the plastic clutch sleeve (I), oriented so the
tapered end of the clutch sleeve nests in the clutch (Figure 3).

4. Slide the canopy pipe (H) 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 (H). There must be a minimum 1-1/2" of
inner pipe inside the outer pipe. 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 3).

5. Carefully slide canopy ring (G) and canopy (F) down over fixture pipe (A) until

they rest on the fixture.

6. 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.

7. Using suitable wire connectors (not provided), connect fixture wires to supply wires

(white to white supply, black to black supply, 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.

8. Slide fixture canopy (F) against ceiling, and secure with canopy ring (G).

9. Refer to instructions below to install glass & light bulb.
