2. Hanging the Fixture (Refer to Figure 1)
- IMPORTANT: Shut off the electrical power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before proceeding.
- Remove any existing fixture from the ceiling, including its mounting hardware.
- Unpack the new fixture and lay out all components on a clean, flat surface.
- Thread the nipple (C) into the loop (F) until it is snug.
- Thread the other end of the nipple (C) (with the loop attached) into the single bar (A) until snug.
- Place the lock washer (B) over the end of the nipple protruding through the single bar (A), then thread the hex nut (D) onto the nipple until it is tight.
- Secure this single bar assembly to the ceiling junction box using the provided junction box screws (E). Tighten these screws firmly with a screwdriver.
- Using appropriate chain pliers, open one end link of the provided chain and connect it to the fixture loop (I). Close the link securely.
- Determine the desired hanging height for the fixture. Use chain pliers to disconnect and discard any excess chain links.
- Carefully lace the fixture wires through the chain.
- Slide the loop collar (H) over the chain, followed by the canopy (G).
- Open the remaining end link of the chain and attach the fixture to the ceiling loop (F). Close the link securely.
- Feed the fixture wires through the loop (F) and nipple (C), pulling them taut.
- Slide the canopy (G) up flush against the ceiling, then secure it using the loop collar (H).
3. Connecting the Wires (Refer to Figure 3)
Ensure power is still off at the circuit breaker.
- Connect the black wire from the ceiling junction box to the smooth wire leg from the fixture. Twist the wire ends together and secure with a wire connector until snug.
- Repeat the process for the white wire from the ceiling junction box and the ribbed wire leg from the fixture. Twist the wires in the same direction as the wire connector.
- If your junction box has a grounding wire (green or bare copper), connect this wire along with the bare copper wire from the fixture to the green ground screw on the single bar. If your junction box does not have a ground wire, connect only the bare copper fixture wire to the green ground screw.
- Carefully tuck all wire connections into the ceiling outlet box.
- Raise the canopy (G) fully to the ceiling and secure it by threading the loop collar (H) onto the ceiling loop protruding through the canopy.
Your installation is now complete. Restore power at the circuit breaker and test the fixture.
