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

1. Thread the wires from the fixture pipe (A) into and through the canopy pipe (G) up

through the canopy (B).

2. Unscrew the clutch (I) from the canopy pipe (G); slide it across the wires and onto the

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

3. Slide the canopy pipe (G) as far as necessary to give you the total length of the fixture

you desire. Be careful not to scratch the pipe surfaces and to pull excess wire up
through the canopy pipe (G). Screw clutch (I) onto canopy pipe (G). 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.

sure the tapered end of the plastic clutch sleeve is oriented toward the clutch when
assembled and securely tighten set screw (Figure 2).

4. Thread studs (E) through appropriate holes in crossbar (C) to match holes in

canopy (B).

5. Using two machine screws (not provided), fasten the crossbar (C) 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.

6. Using suitable wire connectors (not provided) connect fixture wires to

supply (white to white or ribbed and black to black or smooth).
Connect all ground wires to green ground screw (D).

sure wire connectors are twisted on securely, and no bare wire is exposed.

7. Slide canopy (B) over threaded studs (E) and push firmly to ceiling,

making sure that no wires are pinched between fixture canopy and
ceiling. Fasten with barrel knobs (F). Be sure studs are fully seated in
the barrel knobs.

clutch (I) firmly with hex wrench provided. Only after the set screw
(J) is tight should you install the glass.

To Install Glass (Figure 3)

Component Parts

K Socket
L Bulb (Included)
M Glass
N Spider

1. Install light bulb (L). Be careful not to touch bulb with bare

hands; oil from the hands will dramatically reduce bulb life.

2. Slip glass (M) over bulb (L) and socket (K) until it clears

the fixture bottom. Glass is blown and one side is thicker
then the other. It might be necessary to flip the glass over to
achieve the best fit with spider (N). If glass still has a loose
fit the spider can be adjusted by taking a pair of needle
noose pliers and bending the three prongs outward.

3. Lower glass so it rests on the notch at the bottom of the

fixture.

4. Restore electricity at main breaker.

If you need further assistance, or find that you are missing any parts, please contact the dealer from which you purchased
this product. We hope you enjoy your fixture!
