Caution: Be sure power is off at the main breaker box prior to installation.

1. Thread the wires from the fixture pipe (A) into and through the canopy pipe (G) up

through the canopy (B).

2. Unscrew the clutch (I) from the fixture pipe (A); slide it across the wires and onto the canopy

pipe (A). Follow this with the plastic clutch sleeve (H), oriented so the tapered end of the
clutch sleeve nests in the clutch.

3. Slide the canopy pipe (G) as far as necessary to give you the total length of the fixture which

you desire. Be careful not to scratch the pipe surfaces and to pull excess wire up through the
canopy pipe (G). Screw clutch (I) onto fixture pipe (A). There must be a minimum
1-1/2" of inner pipe inside the outer pipe. Hand-tighten the clutch to temporarily hold this
adjustment. The clutch is not securely fastened at this point; do not depend on it to hold the
fixture.

Important: To ensure full connection strength, be sure the tapered end of the plastic clutch
sleeve is oriented toward the clutch when assembled and securely tighten set screw
(Figure 3).

4. Thread studs (E) through appropriate holes in crossbar (C) to match holes in

canopy (B).

5. Using two machine screws (not provided), fasten the crossbar (C) to the electric box.

Note: A new electric box comes with screws. When replacing a fixture, retain the existing screws
for use with the new fixture.

6. Using suitable wire connectors (not provided) connect fixture wires to supply (white to white

or ribbed and black to black or smooth). Run a pigtail lead from crossbar ground screw (D)
to the junction box and connect all ground wires (bare copper or green to bare copper or
green).

Caution: Make sure wire connectors are twisted on securely, and no bare wire is

exposed.

7. Slide canopy (B) over threaded studs (E) and push firmly to ceiling, making sure that no

wires are pinched between fixture canopy and ceiling. Fasten with knurled balls (F). Be sure
studs are fully seated in the knurled balls.

8. Once the fixture is fastened to the ceiling, tighten the set screw (J) in clutch (I) firmly with

hex wrench provided. Only after the set screw (J) is tight should you install the glass.

9. Refer instructions to instructions following to install glass.
