K Barrel Knob (2)
L Canopy Pipe
M Plastic Clutch Sleeve
1. Thread the wires from the fixture pipe (A) into and through the
canopy pipe (L) up through the canopy (C).
2. Unscrew the clutch (N) from the canopy pipe (L); slide it
across the wires and onto the fixture pipe (A). Follow this with
the plastic clutch sleeve (M), oriented so the tapered end of the
clutch sleeve nests in the clutch.
3. Slide the canopy pipe (L) 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 (L). Screw clutch (N) onto canopy pipe (L). 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).
4. Thread studs (J) through appropriate holes in crossbar (H) to match holes in
canopy (C).
5. Using two machine screws (not provided), fasten the crossbar (H) 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 (I).
Caution: Make sure wire connectors are twisted on securely, and no bare wire is
exposed.
7. Slide canopy (C) over threaded studs (J) and push firmly to ceiling, making sure that
no wires are pinched between fixture canopy and ceiling. Fasten with barrel knobs
(K). Be sure studs are fully seated in the barrel knobs.
8. Once the fixture is fastened to the ceiling, tighten the set screw (O) in clutch (N)
firmly with hex wrench provided. Only after the set screw (O) is tight should you
install the glass.
9. Refer instructions below and install glass.
