3. Setup and Installation
These connectors are designed for straightforward integration into existing or new lighting assemblies. Always ensure power is disconnected before working on electrical fixtures.
- Preparation: Identify the threaded rods or components you intend to connect. Ensure they have M10 threading for compatibility.
- Wire Routing (if applicable): If electrical wires need to pass through the connection, feed them through the hollow interior of the connector before threading.
- Connection: Carefully thread one end of the connector onto the first rod until snug. Then, thread the second rod onto the other end of the connector. Ensure threads are aligned to prevent cross-threading.
- Tightening: Hand-tighten the connection. For a more secure fit, a wrench may be used gently, taking care not to over-tighten and damage the threads or components.
- Verification: After installation, ensure all connections are stable and secure.

4. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the TEHAUX M10 Brass Lamp Rod Connectors function as a permanent or semi-permanent extension or coupling for threaded rods. No specific operational steps are required beyond ensuring a secure and stable connection during installation.
5. Maintenance
These brass connectors require minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: If necessary, wipe the connectors with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the brass finish.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect connections in lighting fixtures to ensure they remain tight and secure.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during installation or use, consider the following:
- Difficulty Threading: Ensure the rods you are connecting have M10 metric threads. Incorrect thread sizes will prevent proper connection. Do not force the connection, as this can damage the threads.
- Loose Connection: Verify that both rods are fully threaded into the connector and tightened appropriately. If the connection remains loose, inspect the threads on both the connector and the rods for damage.
- Wire Passage Issues: Ensure wires are not kinked or too thick for the hollow interior. Trim insulation if necessary, but always ensure proper electrical safety.
