To safely wire and ground your HINKLEY 42005 18-inch 3-Light LED Flush Mount, follow these steps, referencing the fixture's manual for detailed illustrations:
Wiring Instructions:
- Connect the positive supply wire (usually black or the smooth side of the two-conductor cord) to the positive fixture lead using an appropriately sized twist-on connector.
- Connect the negative supply wire (usually white or the ribbed side of the two-conductor cord) to the negative fixture lead.
- Ensure you complete the grounding instructions below to finalize all electrical connections.
Grounding Instructions:
- For flush mount fixtures, attach the fixture ground wire (typically copper or green plastic coated) to the fixture mounting strap using the ground screw. The manual will indicate the specific location on the strap for this connection.
- For some installations, when using straps designed to support the fixture, first install the two mounting screws in the strap. The remaining tapped hole can then be used for the ground screw.
These instructions are a general guide. Always consult the HINKLEY 42005 18-inch 3-Light LED Flush Mount's manual for specific diagrams and safety precautions. If you are unsure about any part of the wiring or grounding process, or if you're not comfortable working with electrical components, it's recommended to consult a qualified electrician. This ensures a safe and compliant installation.
