Complete Assembly and Install (Figures 3 & 4)

Component Parts

A Fixture Pipe
C Jam Nut
D Crossbar
E Threaded Nipple
F Canopy

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

1. Thread crossbar (D) onto threaded nipple (E) until tight against

jam nut (C).

2. Unscrew the clutch (K) from the canopy pipe (I); slide it across the

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

3. Thread wires from the fixture pipe (A) through the canopy pipe (I).

4. Slide the canopy pipe (I) 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 (I).
There must be a minimum 1-1/2" of inner pipe inside the outer pipe.
Screw clutch (K) 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 4).

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Slide fixture canopy (F) against ceiling, and secure with canopy

ring (G).
