Wiring and mounting the HINKLEY 82000 Superior Lighting Fixture correctly ensures both safety and optimal performance. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Preparation: Start by preparing your workspace. Unpack the HINKLEY 82000 fixture and its glass components from the packaging. Carefully read through the entire instruction manual before you begin.
-
Mounting the Fixture:
a. Detach the mounting strap. Remove the ball knobs from the backplate.
b. Attach the mounting plate to your junction box using appropriate screws (not included).
c. Make the necessary electrical connections. Connect the supply wires to the fixture's lead wires, following the specific wiring instructions provided in the manual.
-
Securing the Fixture:
a. Align the fixture. Insert the mounting screws through the mounting holes in the backplate.
b. Fasten the fixture. While holding the fixture in place, thread the ball knobs onto the mounting screws and tighten them securely.
-
Installing the Glass Panels: Insert the glass panels. Slide the glass panels up through the open bottom of the fixture's cage. Secure the panels. Position the top of the glass panels into the channel at the top of the cage, and then tilt the bottom into place, using the clips to hold the glass.
-
Bulb Installation: Once the fixture is mounted and the glass panels are in place, install the appropriate light bulb.
-
Grounding Instructions: Follow the grounding instructions. Adhere to the grounding instructions provided in the HINKLEY 82000 manual. These instructions will vary based on your specific installation type (Flush Mount, Chain Hung, or Post-Mount).
-
Caulking for Weatherproofing: For a weatherproof seal, apply waterproof caulk or silicone sealant. Seal the gap between the fixture's backplate and the wall. Also, caulk the gap between the mounting top and the fixture base. Apply caulk under the ball knobs used to mount the fixture. By following these steps, you can confidently and safely install your HINKLEY 82000 Superior Lighting Fixture.
