HOUSING INSTALLATION FOR T-BAR,
WOOD OR STEEL JOIST CONSTRUCTION
1. Always mount securely to structural
members, this fixture will accommodate 11/2” thick ceilings.
2. Bend ends of bar hangers (See Figure 1A)
to a position appropriate for attachment to
joist if necessary (wood joist, nail or screw
tabs).
3. Release cam lever (See Figures 1B and 2A)
and center bar hangers (Figure 2B) in the
vertical slot to approximate width needed.
Engage cam lever to secure, repeat on
opposite side.
4. Place fixture between joist or on T-bar so
the bottom of the drop down flange is flush
or slightly above the bottom of the finished
ceiling.
5. Secure bar hangers/housing assembly
onto joist/T-bar material. On wood/steel
joist, use nails, screws or bolts; for T-bar,
use wire or wire ties and bend nailing tab
(See Figure 3A).
6. Adjust housing to desired position by
releasing cam lever (one on each side) and
making horizontal and/or vertical adjustments as necessary. Secure cam levers.
7. Feed power supply to J-box. (See Figure 4)
- J-box is approved for through wiring with
eight No. 12 AWG conductors (4 in/4 out)
rated 90o C or higher.
- Remove J-box cover by releasing spring
clip (See Figure 4A) and allowing cover
to hinge open (See Figure 4B).
- Select desired knockout, remove and
install appropriate connector.
- Install power conductors in accordance
with all local and/or National Electric
Codes and ordinances (consult your local
building authority for specific requirements).
- Make connections using code approved
materials/methods.
- Reinstall J-box cover (See Figure 4B).
8. Install ceiling material, cut holes out for
drop down flange (6-7/8” diameter
ceiling opening), being careful not to cut
the hole too large.
9. To make fine tune housing adjustments
from below the ceiling, remove upper
housing assembly by loosening two (2)
thumb screws (on GQ) or two (2) hex head
screws (on GQT) located 180o apart inside
of housing (See Figures 5A and 6B). For
GQ, turn upper housing assembly (Figure
6A) clockwise and lift, placing it to the side.
