Product Usage Instructions
Assembly Preparation
- Disconnect power at the main fuse box before installation.
- Make sure you are familiar with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local code specifications. If not, it is recommended to seek installation by a certified electrician.
- Remove all parts and packages from the box before assembly. If anything is missing, contact the retailer from which the product was purchased.
Mounting Bracket Installation
- Carefully pull house wires down out of the junction box to easily access them for connecting fixture wires.
- Place mounting bracket (A) against the junction box, ensuring that the screw collar loop (E) is pointing down towards the floor.
- Align each slot in the mounting bracket (A) with each hole in the junction box.
- Thread one junction box screw (B) into each slot in the mounting bracket (A) and into the holes in the junction box. Tighten the screws to secure the mounting bracket (A) to the junction box. Ensure that the house wires are still easily accessible and not pinched between the mounting bracket and ceiling.
Fixture Assembly and Hanging
- Push the fixture wires up through the bottom of the center stem (M) and thread the bottom of the center stem (M) onto the top of the fixture body (O).
- Connect one locking link (G) to the loop on top of the center stem (M).
- Determine the desired hanging height of the fixture and cut the chain (H) to achieve the desired height.
- Slip the chain link at the end of the chain (H) onto the locking link (G) on the loop.
- Weave the fixture wires through the chain links, skipping every other chain link.
- Slip the threaded ring (F) and then the canopy (D) down over the end of the chain (H).
Wiring Connections
- Strip 3/4 of insulation from the ends of the fixture wires.
- Push the fixture wires up through the hole in the screw collar loop (W) attached to the mounting bracket (A) and out of the end of the threaded pipe inside the junction box.
- Pull the fixture wires so they are easily accessible to connect to house wires.
- To aid in connecting fixture wires to house wires, temporarily connect a second locking link (G) to the end of the chain (H) and to the screw collar loop (W).
- Slightly loosen the ground screw on the mounting bracket (A), wrap the house ground wire (copper) around it, leaving enough wire to attach to the fixture ground wire.
- Twist the end of the fixture ground wire and the end of the house ground wire together. Twist a wire nut (C) onto the ends of the wires and completely tighten it.
- Twist the end of the house lead wire (black) and the end of the fixture lead wire together. Twist a wire nut (C) onto the ends of the wires and completely tighten it.
- Twist the end of the house neutral wire (white) and the end of the fixture neutral wire together. Twist a wire nut (C) onto the ends of the wires and completely tighten it.

Carefully pull house wires down out of junction box so house wires are easily accessed to connect fixture wires.
-
If screw collar loop (W) is already attached to mounting bracket (A), proceed to Step 3. To assemble screw collar loop (W) to mounting bracket (A): Hold mounting bracket (A) so head of ground screw is pointing down towards floor. Hold threaded pipe so two hexnuts already attached to threaded pipe (E) are pointing down towards floor. From side of mounting bracket with ground screw head, screw short end of threaded pipe (E) into hole in center of mounting bracket (A) until hexnut on threaded pipe (E) touches mounting bracket. Thread hexnut (V) onto end of threaded pipe (E). Tighten hexnut (V) to secure threaded pipe (E) to mounting bracket (A). Thread screw collar loop (W) onto end of threaded pipe pointing down towards floor. Tighten screw collar loop up against hexnut on threaded pipe (E).
-
Place mounting bracket (A) up against junction box. Screw collar loop (E) should be pointing down towards floor. Align each slot in mounting bracket (A) with each hole in junction box.
-
Thread one junction box screw (B) into each slot in mounting bracket (A) and into holes in junction box. Tighten junction box screws (B) to secure mounting bracket (A) to junction box.
CAUTION: Make sure house wires are still easily accessible. DO NOT pinch wires between mounting bracket and ceiling. -
Push fixture wires up through bottom of center stem (M). Thread bottom of center stem (M) onto top of fixture body (O).
