Use wrench and/or pliers to fully tighten the elongated (strain
relief) nut against the strain relief body.

8. For Direct (home) wire connection using armored cable or
flexible metal conduit use only a UL/CSA-approved metallic
strain relief for the type of conduit being used. Ensure 4"
(101.6 mm) of wire is extending out past the end of the strain
relief. Strip each wire end by 0.75" (19 mm). Attach the strain
relief to the home wiring per the strain relief manufacturer’s
instructions. Attach strain relief to the box per the strain relief
manufacturer’s installation instructions.
9. For power cord connection, attach the second cable fitting to
the power cord paying attention to the orientation (see below
figure). Use wrench and/or pliers to fully tighten the elongated
(strain relief) nut against the strain relief body.

A. 0.25" (6.35 mm) minimum
NOTE: Non-metallic sheathed wire is for direct wire
connection only.
10. Route wire ends into the junction box through the round holes
on the sides. Securely attach the cable fittings to the junction
box using plastic mounting nuts supplied with the cable
fittings. Hand tighten the mounting nuts to the cable fittings
and then use a crescent wrench to tighten another 1/4 turn.
Use a second wrench or pliers to secure the cable fitting body
when tightening the mounting nut.
11. Connect wires together inside the junction box using the
supplied wire nuts. Connect wires of the same color together
(black to black, white to white, and bare/green to green).
NOTE: Do not pre-twist wires before making connections.

12. To apply a wire nut, hold the stripped/bare ends of wires
parallel to each other with their ends aligned. Firmly push
wires into a wire nut and twist clockwise until secure (the
insulated wires outside the connector begin to twist). Gently
tug on each wire making sure they are secure.
