Grounding your HINKLEY 23080 1 Light Wall Mount fixture correctly is essential for safety. The grounding procedure depends on your specific installation type. For flush mount fixtures, secure the fixture's ground wire to the mounting strap using a ground screw. Ensure the ground wire is copper or green plastic coated. If you're installing a chain-hung fixture, loop the fixture's ground wire under the head of the ground screw on the mounting strap. Then, connect the loose end to your building's ground wire using appropriately sized wire connectors. For post-mount fixtures, connect the fixture's ground wire to the power supply ground within the post using wire connectors. Seal the connector's open end with silicone sealant to create a watertight seal. Always prioritize safety; if you're uncertain about any step, consult a qualified electrician.
