Hinkley Mounting, Wiring, and Caulking Instructions
Mounting Instructions
Start Here
- Find a clear area in which you can work.
- Unpack fixture and glass from carton.
- Carefully review instructions prior to assembly.
The construction of this fixture will be accomplished by first attaching the mounting strap to the junction box, making all necessary electrical connections, mounting the fixture to the wall, and then installing the glass.
Step 1: Prepare Mounting Strap
Prepare mounting strap (A) by threading the two 1 1/4" long mounting screws (B) into the back of the mounting strap (A).
Be sure the holes into which the screws are threaded match the spacing of holes (D) in the backplate (E).
Attach mounting strap (A) to junction box (J) using two 1" screws (C) (not provided).
Diagram Description: Drawing 1 - Fixture Mounting illustrates the components: mounting strap (A), mounting screws (B), junction box (J), screws (C), holes (D) in the backplate (E), and ball knobs (F).
Step 2: Mount Fixture
To mount the fixture, slip the two mounting screws (B) through the two mounting holes (D) in the backplate (E).
While holding the fixture in place, thread the two ball knobs (F) onto the end of the mounting screws (B), and tighten.
Step 3: Install Glass
To install glass, remove the socket ring (3) from the socket (1).
Slip glass (2) over socket (1).
Thread socket ring (3) onto socket (1) and tighten.
Repeat steps 1-3 for remaining glass.
The fixture can now be fitted with a lamp.
Diagram Description: Drawing 2 - Glass Installation shows the socket (1), glass (2), and socket ring (3).
Safety Warning
SAFETY 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.
Electrical Connections
Make electrical connections from supply wire to 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)
SAFETY WARNING: READ WIRING AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (IS 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.
Wiring Instructions
Indoor Fixtures
- Connect positive supply wire (A) (typically black or the smooth, unmarked side of the two-conductor cord) to positive fixture lead (B) with appropriately sized twist-on connector.
- Connect negative supply wire (C) (typically white or the ribbed, marked side of the two-conductor cord) to negative fixture lead (D).
- Refer to the grounding instructions below to complete all electrical connections.
Outdoor Fixtures
- Connect positive supply wire (A) (typically black or the smooth unmarked side of the two-conductor cord) to positive fixture lead (B) with appropriately sized twist-on connector.
- Connect negative supply wire (C) (typically white or the ribbed, marked side of the two-conductor cord) to negative fixture lead (D).
- Cover 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.
- 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).
Note: On straps for screw supported fixtures, first install the two mounting screws in strap. Any remaining tapped hole may be used for the ground screw.
Diagram Description: Drawing 1 - Flush Mount depicts the wiring and grounding setup, showing supply wire, fixture leads, twist-on connectors, ground wire (E), mounting strap (M), and ground screw (S).
Chain Hung Fixtures
Loop fixture ground wire (E) (typically copper or green plastic coated) under the head of the ground screw (S) on 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 appropriately sized twist-on connectors.
Diagram Description: Drawing 2 - Chain Hung illustrates the wiring and grounding setup, showing supply wire, fixture leads, twist-on connectors, ground wire (E), mounting strap (M), and ground screw (S).
Post-Mount Fixtures
Connect fixture ground wire (E) (typically copper or green plastic coated) to power supply ground with appropriately sized twist-on connector inside post. Cover open end of connector with silicone sealant to form a watertight seal.
Diagram Description: Drawing 3 - Post-Mount shows the wiring and grounding for a post-mount fixture, including supply wire, fixture leads, twist-on connectors, ground wire (E), and mounting strap (M).
Caulking Instructions (IS200)
Start Here
After securing fixture to the wall, it is recommended that the gap between the wall and the fixture backplate be sealed on the top and both sides, with a good quality waterproof caulk or silicone sealant (NOT INCLUDED).
Diagram Description: Drawing 1 shows a caulking gun and a bead of caulk being applied to seal a gap between the fixture and the wall.
After securing fixture in place, it is recommended that the gap between the mounting top and fixture base be sealed with any good quality waterproof caulk or silicone sealant (not included).
It is also recommended that a small bead of caulk or sealant be put under the ball knobs used to mount fixture.
Diagram Description: Drawing 2 illustrates the application of caulk or sealant under the ball knobs used for mounting, showing a caulking gun and ball knob.
