Hinkley Lighting Fixture Installation and Wiring Guide

Mounting Instructions

Start Here

Before beginning installation, ensure you have a clear workspace. Unpack the fixture and glass from the carton. Carefully review all instructions prior to assembly.

General Construction Overview

The fixture's construction involves assembling the main body, determining the required stem length, installing mounting hardware, making electrical connections, and finally hanging the fixture.

Diagram 1: Strap Detail

This diagram illustrates the components of the mounting strap assembly, including screws (A), mounting plate (B), mounting holes (C), canopy (D), ground wire (E), ground screw (S), and mounting strap (M).

Diagram 2: Fixture Mounting

This diagram shows how the fixture's canopy (D) is attached to the mounting strap (M) using screws (A) and secured with ball knobs (E).

Diagram 3: Glass Installation

This diagram details the process for installing or replacing the glass panel (2):

1. One upright (1) is removable to facilitate installation or replacement of the glass and lamping of the fixture.
2. Remove screws (3) from the top of the fixture and pull upright (1) off the fixture.
3. The fixture can now be lamped accordingly.
4. Tilt the glass (2) and slip it up into the top of the fixture. Lift the glass (2) over the center hub (4) and set it on the uprights (1).
5. Slide the upright (1) back onto the fixture, over the brackets (5), aligning the holes in the upright (1) with the holes in the brackets (5).
6. Thread the top screw (3) into the top of the bracket (5).
7. Lift the glass (2) and, using a short screwdriver, thread screw (3) into bracket (5) to secure the lower portion of the upright.

Stem Installation

Follow these steps to achieve the desired fixture length:

1. Determine the overall length required for the assembled fixture.
2. Determine which stems are needed to achieve this length. Additional stems are available; contact your local Hinkley Lighting representative or visit www.hinkleylighting.com for information.
3. Install stems by slipping them onto the fixture's supply wire, threaded end up, and threading them together.

Mounting Plate Installation

Steps for attaching the mounting plate:

1. Install screws (A) into the mounting plate (B). Ensure the holes for the screws match the spacing of holes (C) in the canopy (D).
2. Attach the mounting plate (B) to the junction box (J) using screws (G), which are not provided. Slip the supply wires through the large center hole of the mounting plate.

Wiring & Grounding Instructions (I.S. 18)

Safety Warning: Read all wiring and grounding instructions (I.S. 18) and any additional directions. Turn the power supply OFF during installation. If new wiring is required, consult a qualified electrician or local authorities for code requirements.

Diagrams Overview

The diagrams illustrate wiring configurations for Flush Mount (Drawing 1), Chain Hung (Drawing 2), and Post-Mount (Drawing 3) fixtures. Key components include supply wires (A), fixture leads (B, D), twist-on connectors, ground wire (E), mounting strap (M), and ground screw (S).

Wiring Instructions

Indoor Fixtures

1. Connect the positive supply wire (A) (typically black or the smooth, unmarked side of the two-conductor cord) to the positive fixture lead (B) using an appropriately sized twist-on connector. Refer to Diagram 1 or 2.
2. Connect the negative supply wire (C) (typically white or the ribbed, marked side of the two-conductor cord) to the negative fixture lead (D).
3. Refer to the grounding instructions below to complete all electrical connections.

Outdoor Fixtures

1. Connect the positive supply wire (A) (typically black or the smooth, unmarked side of the two-conductor cord) to the positive fixture lead (B) using an appropriately sized twist-on connector. Refer to Diagram 2 or 3.
2. Connect the negative supply wire (C) (typically white or the ribbed, marked side of the two-conductor cord) to the negative fixture lead (D).
3. Cover the open end of connectors with silicone sealant to form a watertight seal. If installing a wall mount fixture, use caulk to seal gaps between the fixture mounting plate (backplate) and the wall to prevent water entry into the outlet box. For lap siding, use caulk and a fixture mounting platform.
4. Refer to the grounding instructions below to complete all electrical connections.

Grounding Instructions

Flush Mount Fixtures

For positive grounding in a 3-wire electrical system, fasten the fixture ground wire (E) (typically copper or green plastic coated) to the fixture mounting strap (M) with the ground screw (S). Refer to Drawing 1. Note: On straps for screw-supported fixtures, install the two mounting screws first. Any remaining tapped hole may be used for the ground screw.

Chain Hung Fixtures

Loop the fixture ground wire (E) (typically copper or green plastic coated) under the head of the ground screw (S) on the fixture mounting strap (M). Connect the loose end of the fixture ground wire directly to the building system's ground wire using appropriately sized twist-on connectors. Refer to Drawing 2.

Post-Mount Fixtures

Connect the fixture ground wire (E) (typically copper or green plastic coated) to the power supply ground with an appropriately sized twist-on connector inside the post. Cover the open end of the connector with silicone sealant to form a watertight seal. Refer to Drawing 3.

Note: The maximum wattage for the 1322 fixture is 100 watts per bulb.
