WARNING: For your safety read and understand instructions completely before starting installation. Before wiring to power supply, turn off electricity at the fuse or circuit breaker box. Halo recessed fixtures are designed to meet the latest NEC requirements and are UL listed in full compliance with UL 1598.
Before attempting installation of any recessed fixture check your local electrical code. This code sets the wiring standards for your locality and should be carefully studied before starting.

Housing Installation

Fixture is designed for installation where it will NOT come in contact with insulation. Thermal insulation must be kept a minimum of three inches (3″) away from the housing (Fig. 1). All other combustible materials must be spaced no less than one-half inch (1/2″) from all parts of the fixture. The points of support and the trim finishing off the opening in the ceiling or wall surface shall be permitted to be in contact with combustible materials
Step 1 Using template, scribe a circle and center point on ceiling in desired location.
Step 2 Using a 3-3/4″ hole saw, accurately cut hole in ceiling (If a hole saw is not available, use a drywall saw and use the scribed circle as a guide).
Step 3 Follow Steps 1 through 4 under “Electrical Connection.”
Step 4 Remove Spring Adjustment Label and Spring from bottom of Plaster Frame. Insert Plaster Frame into ceiling, junction box first. Seat Plaster Frame lip on hole in ceiling. Install Plaster Frame Spring (See Figure 2).
Step 5 With Easy-Lock Clips locked in the “shipping position”(See Figure 3) insert can into ceiling. Align can slots with squares on the alignment label located on the plaster frame collar.
Step 6 Unlock one Easy-Lock Clip by pushing the latch up (See Figure 4). Then slide the Easy-Lock clip up until the notches in the Support Spring slides into the slot in the can (See Figure 5). Once inserted, slide down the easy lock clip until the Support Spring contacts the top surface of the plaster frame. Lock the clip in the downward position (See figure 6) Repeat for the other side. Adjust if necessary.

Installation for AIR-TITEConstruction

Halo AIR-TITE Housings with ASTM E-283 certification are supplied with either a pre-installed gasket or a ready-to-install self adhesive gasket – install as follows:

Step 1. Lay rectangular gaskets flat and peel protective paper backing to expose adhesive side.
Step 2. Apply supplied rectangular gaskets to slot opening in such a manner that the gasket covers the slot opening fully. When properly installed, Halo AIR-TITE housings provide compliance with Restricted Air Flow Regulations: Washington State Energy Code; California Title 24;
New York Energy Conservation Code; International Energy Conservation Code(IECC)

Electrical Connection
  • Make certain no bare wires are exposed out-side the connectors.
  • For housings with push-nut connectors:
    – Strip insulation 1/2″
    – Use 12-16 AWG stranded (stranded pattern 19 or less)
    – or use 12-18 AWG solid copper wire

Step 1. Provide electrical service according to the “National Electrical Code” or your local electrical code from a suitable junction box to the wiring box (located on the plaster frame). Supply wire insulation must be rated for at least 90°C.
Step 2. Remove the wiring box cover.
Note: The wiring box will accept flexible metal conduit or non-metallic cable, but flexible metal conduit must be used if your electrical code requires it.
Flexible Metal conduit: Remove appropriate round knock-out(s) and connect conduit to wiring box with proper connector(s) (not included).
Non-metallic cable: Complete connections as outlined in step 3 and slide NM cable into wire traps (Fig. 7).
Step 3. Connect supply wires to wires in fixture wiring box with proper size wire nuts (not included) or push wires into “push-in” connectors (included on select models). Be sure to cover all bare current-carrying conductors. Connect white to white; black to black; and green or bare copper wire (from electrical service) to bare copper wire (in wiring box).
Note: The ground wire at the service junction box may need to be secured to a ground screw.
Step 4. Place wires and connections back in wiring box and replace cover.

Trim Installation

Refer to lamp wattage label in the housing for approved lamps and corresponding trims.
