Make certain that all power is disconnected prior to installing the fixture. Make all necessary wiring
corrections, observing proper voltage and polarity. Ensure that wires are not being pinched.
INSTALLATION:
1. The rough-in can be installed in either wood joist or suspended ceilings.
Wood Joist Installation: Extend the bar hangers to fit between the joist. Using the built in leveler
(See Figure 1), line fixture up with bottom of wood joist. Using a hammer, secure the housing to the
wood joist with the built in step nail.
Suspended Ceiling Installation: Locate the four (4) T-bar slots near the end of the bar hanger (See
Figure 2). Bend tabs out, slip the hanger bar over the T-bar and press the tabs back against the T-
bar to hold it in place (See Figure 2).
2. Make certain all power is disconnected prior to installing the fixture. Open the snap-on junction box
captive door and remove the appropriate pry-out with screwdriver. Built in Romex clamps are accessible
through the Romex pry-outs (See Figure 3). Bring supply wires into box by shielded cable or Romex
cable.
3 Make all connections inside the junction box. Connect 120V hot wire to the black wire. Connect the
neutral wire to the white wire. Connect the ground wire to the bare copper wire. This fixture should be
wired in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes and ordinances.
4. Close the snap-on junction box door.
5. This unit can be installed in a TYPE IC or TYPE NON-IC installation:
TYPE IC
: Where the rough-in section is in direct contact with insulation. Match trims listed on IC
portion of the fixture label for IC installations. Remove the peel off label on top of the housing stating
not to install insulation within 3 inches (76mm) of any side of the fixture (See Figure 4)
TYPE NON-IC
: Where no insulation is placed over the top or within 3 inches (76mm) of the sides of
the rough-in section. Match trims listed on the NON-IC portion of the fixture label for NON-IC
installations.
6. This product is Air Tight and conforms to maximum air leak rate of less than 2.0 CFM as tested per ASTM
E-283 method. Product must be sealed to ceiling surface to eliminate all air paths into space above. The gap
between the drywall edge and the edge of the recessed fixture must be sealed by the installer using drywall
compound (not provided) or silicone caulking (not provided) rated for a minimum of 90 degree C to seal the
gap.
TRIM INSTALLATION
SEE TRIM INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR DETAILS
LAMP INSTALLATION
Prior to installing lamp (not included) in the fixture, check to make sure that all power is disconnected.
Ensure that the lamp source and wattage corresponds with the fixture label and the trim label. To properly
seat the lamp into the fixture, screw the lamp securely into the socket. Back the lamp out one to two turns, and then screw the lamp back into the socket,
making sure that it is secure.
Follow lamp manufacturer’s instructions regarding lamp operation and re-lamping. Operating a fixture with a lamp that turns on and off, an extinguished
lamp, or no lamp at all may cause damage to the components and will void all warranties.
