HINKLEY Assembly Instructions

Start Here

1. Find a clear area in which you can work.
2. Unpack fixture and glass from carton.
3. Carefully review instructions prior to assembly.

The construction of this fixture will be accomplished by first installing the mounting hardware to the junction box, making all necessary electrical connections, and attaching the fixture to the wall.

Mounting Strap Preparation

Step 1: Prepare mounting strap (A) by threading a 1" nipple (C) into the center hole of the mounting strap (A), approximately 1/4" deep. (Refer to Drawing 1 - Fixture Mounting).

Step 2: Attach mounting strap (A) to the junction box (J) using two screws (B) which are not provided.

Diagram Description (Drawing 1 - Fixture Mounting): Depicts the mounting hardware. It shows a mounting strap (A) with a central hole where a 1" nipple (C) is threaded. This strap (A) is then attached to a junction box (J) using two screws (B), which are not provided. Parts of the fixture are labeled D and E.

Safety Warning

WARNING: READ WIRING AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (I.S. 18) AND ANY ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONS. TURN POWER SUPPLY OFF DURING INSTALLATION. IF NEW WIRING IS REQUIRED, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR CODE REQUIREMENTS.

Make electrical connections from the supply wire to the fixture lead wires. Refer to instruction sheet (I.S. 18) and follow all instructions to make all necessary wiring connections. Then refer back to this sheet to continue installation of this fixture.

Wiring and Grounding Instructions (I.S. 18)

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) with an appropriately sized twist-on connector (refer to wiring diagrams).
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) using a twist-on connector.
3. Please 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) with an appropriately sized twist-on connector (refer to wiring diagrams).
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) using a twist-on connector.
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. This will help prevent water from entering the outlet box. If the wall surface is lap siding, use caulk and a fixture mounting platform specially.

4. Please 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 wiring diagrams). Note: On straps for screw-supported fixtures, first install the two mounting screws in the strap. 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) and connect to the loose end of the fixture ground wire directly to the ground wire of the building system with an appropriately sized twist-on connector (refer to wiring diagrams).

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, typically located inside the post. Cover the open end of the connector with silicone sealant to form a watertight seal (refer to wiring diagrams).

Wiring Diagram Descriptions:

• Flush Mount: Illustrates connections for indoor fixtures. A positive supply wire (A) connects to a positive fixture lead (B) using a twist-on connector. A negative supply wire (C) connects to a negative fixture lead (D) using a twist-on connector. A fixture ground wire (E) is connected to the fixture mounting strap (M) using a ground screw (S).
• Chain Hung: Illustrates connections for chain-hung fixtures. Similar wire connections as flush mount. The fixture ground wire (E) is looped under the ground screw (S) on the mounting strap (M) and then connected to the building's ground wire using a twist-on connector.
• Post-Mount: Illustrates connections for post-mounted fixtures. Similar wire connections as flush mount. The fixture ground wire (E) is connected to the power supply ground using a twist-on connector, typically located inside the post.
