Remove inner side sections
(shaded) only.
Do not remove outer side
sections.
Single-gang
gangable wallbox
3/4 in. space (use chase nipple
or Lutron P/N PLUS-ADPTR-3.5)
Four-gang
gangable wallbox
Side Sections Removed
Note: When ganging an even number of small controls with side sec-
tions intact, use gangable 3 in. x 2 in. wallboxes. Space an additional
wallbox 3/4 in. apart from the other wallboxes. A 3/4 in. chase nipple
is recommended as a spacer between wallboxes.
Example: Wallbox arrangement required for ganging 4 small controls
with no side sections removed:
No Side Sections Removed
Remove inner side sections from controls or receptacles. Using pliers,
bend side sections up and down until they break off.
Multigang Installation
Multiple controls and receptacles can be installed in a common
gangable wallbox or a series of interconnected wallboxes for a clean,
consolidated appearance. Lutron multigang wallplates are available
to complete the installation. Refer to instruction sheet supplied with
multigang wallplates for installation.
For new installations, controls and receptacles can be ganged without
removing side sections, but, to reduce the size of the multigang instal-
lation or to fit existing wallboxes, inner side sections must be removed.
Note: When ganging any combination of small and large controls,
place all small controls on one end of the gang and all large controls
on the other. All receptacles with or without side sections removed
are considered small. Use the chart below to determine the number
of required gangable wallboxes.
Replacement Plug For Dimming Use
Important Notes
1.
Caution: Plug for lamp loads only. Check that the dimmer load
type matches the load type of the lamp being used (i.e., incan-
descent, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, fluores-
cent, etc.).
2. Check that the load rating does not exceed the rating of the lamp
cord.
3. This plug is intended for use with Lutron receptacles for dimming
use. It can also be used with standard receptacles.
4. Installation of this plug on a lamp cord will permanently change
the lamp cord.
5. Not for use with lamp cords requiring a ground wire connec-
tion.
6. Plug intended for use with SPT-2 18/2 (0.250 in.—0.270 in.
major diameter) wires (6.35 mm—6.86 mm).
7. DO NOT install on extension cords.
8. Plug rated for 125 V~ 60 Hz 10 A.
Installation
1.
Unplug lamp cord.
2. Cut old plug off unplugged lamp cord using a pair of wire cutters.
3. Strip the insulation on the lamp cord as shown below. Do not tin
wires.
4. Wires will be secured between the blade surface and the square
wire clamp. See Plug Wiring Diagram. Using a screwdriver:
•Connect the neutral wire (always the wire with the grooved
insulation or a stripe) to the polarized (larger) blade. Tighten
screw with a torque of 12 in.-lbs (1.4 N•m).
•Connect the live wire to the non-polarized (smaller) blade.
Tighten screw with a torque of 12 in.-lbs (1.4 N•m).
5. Insert the base of the plug into the support side (the part without
the screw assembled in it). The final cord exit direction can be
determined by the orientation of the support side with respect to
the base (see Plug Assembly Diagram 1 for details).
6. Secure the lamp cord inside the plug by feeding the cord around
the series of walls found on the support side, starting near the
screw terminals and working towards the cord opening.
7.
Gently
pull the excess cord through the cord opening once it has
been secured in place.
8. Slide the cover side (the part with the screw assembled in it) of
the plug in place and secure it by tightening the screw until
snug.
9. Plug the lamp into the Lutron receptacle for dimming use and
test functionality.
