HOUSING INSTALLATION:
Before starting housing installation, examine ALL components to ensure there is no damage, visible defects
or missing parts. If any parts have been damaged, have a visible defect or parts are missing; contact
Winscape Customer service immediately @ 1-800-328-5291, before installing housing. Read instructions
completely prior to installing fixture.
INSTALLATION TIP: If possible, steps 1 thru 4 and 6 thru 7 can be performed PRIOR to installing the
housing in the ground. Doing this will allow much greater access to the housing and reduces the chances of
debris getting inside the housing.
1. Install conduit entry adaptors (supplied by installer) into the ½” conduit entries on composite housing in
orientation that best suits the conditions on the jobsite. Use the correct type of conduit entry adaptors for the
conduit system being used on site. Conduit adaptors must be waterproof and rated for direct burial.
INSTALLATION TIP: Place a thick bead of high temp RTV silicone on the threads of the conduit entry
adaptor(s) prior to installing into the housing. Then place a thick bead of the same RTV silicone around the
seam between the conduit entry adaptor and the composite housing. Let the RTV silicone dry completely
prior to installing the housing into the ground.
2. Install the screw-in conduit entry plugs in ALL unused conduit entry holes in composite housing. To correctly
install, place a thick bead of high temp RTV silicone all the way around the threads on each plug prior to
installing them into the housing. Once all plugs are screwed into the housing, smear a thick coat of RTV
silicone over the entire plug, covering it and at least ¼” outside the plug in all directions. Let the RTV silicone
dry completely prior to installing the housing in the ground.

3. Dig a hole approximately 12” diameter and 10” deep and trench for conduit or burial wire. It is STRONGLY
recommended that the bottom 4” to 6” is filled with peat gravel (or other type of drainage rock) to promote
proper drainage away from the housing.
4. Place housing into hole and connect conduit entry adaptors to conduit system. Flanged Surface on top of
composite housing should be installed approximately ½” above bare dirt ground level or flush with finished
grade.
5. Back fill composite housing in 3” to 4” increments making sure fill is properly packed around composite
housing (this will reduce the chance of area around the housing sinking), until bare ground level is reached, *if
housing is going to be installed in a concrete pour application, see 5a (next page), if not go to step 6.

a. If composite housing has been ordered with the optional PC (concrete pour collar). There will be a thin
metal collar around the top of the composite housing. The top edge of the pour collar should be set to the
same level as the finished concrete pour. BEFORE installing the housing, check to be sure the pour
collar has not been bumped or knocked loose or out of position during shipping or handling. With the
fixture faceplate installed the top edge of the pour collar should sit flush with the top surface of the
fixture faceplate, if it does not, loosen the four (4) screws securing it to the composite housing and adjust
the pour collar to the correct position. Before pouring concrete it is strongly recommended that the
fixture faceplate is covered with painters’ masking tape & installed to protect it and the composite
housing during the concrete pour. DO NOT allow concrete to fill the gap between the pour collar and
fixture faceplate.

6. Pull wire through conduit system and make wire connections with supplied waterproof wire nuts to the wires
protruding thru the bottom side of the wire compartment sealing plate. If due to the number of wires needing to
be connected, supplied waterproof wire nuts cannot be used, use ONLY under ground, waterproof rated Wire
nuts. We recommend Ideal®, UnderGround™ Wire Connectors, model 60 (supplied w/ composite housing) or
model 64 (supplied by others).
a. Supplied wire nuts are IDEAL®, UnderGround™ Wire Connectors, model 60.
For use with the following wire sizes:
#20 thru #10 AWG
Minimum of two (2) #20 AWG
Maximum of three (3) #12 AWG
b. Optional wire nuts (supplied by others) are IDEAL®, UnderGround™ Wire Connectors, model 64.
For use with the following wire sizes:

INSTALLATION TIP: Make wire connections as close to the bottom of the composite housing as possible.
This will make installation of the wire compartment sealing plate significantly easier.
7. Install the wire compartment sealing plate to the composite housing using the four (4) supplied screws with a
3/32” Allen (hex) wrench by turning them clockwise (right). When correctly installed, grey gasket will slightly
bulge out from underneath the plate, evenly all the way around. Double check that all four (4) screws have been
tightened evenly.
WARNING: Inside mating surface of housing must be completely free from ALL debris. Any
debris trapped between housing and wire compartment sealing plate may cause housing to leak and
will void the warranty.
WARNING: Use caution NOT to trap any wires between the housing and wire compartment sealing
plate this may cause housing to leak and will void the warranty.
INSTALLATION TIP: If possible, steps 1 thru 4 and 6 thru 7 can be performed PRIOR to installing the
housing in the ground. Doing this will allow much greater access to the housing and reduces the chances of
debris getting inside the housing.
8. Install socket bracket assembly by connecting the plug from the wire compartment sealing plate to the plug from
the socket bracket assembly, Plug can only be installed one way and will “snap” together. Then lower the socket
bracket assembly down into the housing, until the outside ring rests on the upper lip inside of the composite
housing. (See “LAMPING, RE-LAMPING & AIMING instructions, page 11, for correct lamp installation &
aiming).

INSTALLATION TIP: Place a small amount of dielectric grease (available at local auto parts store) into
each of the pin openings on the plugs, this will prevent corrosion from forming between the plugs.
9. All composite housings are shipped with ANTI-SIEZE in the twelve threaded inserts in the top flange of the
housing. If the anti-seize has dried out, or there does not visibly appear to be any, place a small amount in ALL
twelve (12) threaded inserts. This will prevent the screws used to secure the fixture mount plate to the
composite housing from seizing over time.
With Anti-Seize
Without Anti-Seize
10. Install the o-ring into the half-circle groove on the very top of the composite housing. Please note, changes in
temperature and humidity will have an effect on the size of the o-ring. The o-ring has been sized to a slightly
smaller diameter than the groove in the housing specifically for this reason. If the o-ring does not lay into the
groove just right, it can be stretched slightly by giving it one or two gentle tugs to stretch it out to fit the groove.
WARNING: O-ring groove in composite housing and o-ring must be free from ALL debris and
dirt. Failure to ensure the sealing surface is completely clean can cause composite housing to leak
and will void the warranty.
11. Install fixture faceplate by lowering the faceplate straight down into the composite housing, lining up the screws
with the threaded inserts in the composite housing.
WARNING: Gasket on bottom side of face plate must be free from all debris and dirt. Failure to
ensure the sealing surface is completely clean can cause composite housing to leak and will void the
warranty.

12. Tighten down the six (6) machine screws that secure the faceplate to the composite housing with a 3/32” Allen
(hex) wrench by turning them clockwise (right) while applying light downward pressure. It is best to start each
screw by hand to prevent cross-threading of the screw into the threaded insert in the composite housing. Screws
should be tightened down until they stop with light pressure when using a hand driver, do NOT exceed 12
in-lbs of force. Double check that all six (6) screws have been tightened evenly. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN
THESE SCREWS!
WARNING: It is STRONGLY recommended that these screws be HAND tightened only, use of
an electric screwdriver or drill can cause permanent damage to the housing such as spinning the
threaded insert, cracking the composite housing itself, cause the screws to strip, cross thread, even
break, and may round out the hex head.

fixture warranty.
3. LAMPING / RE-LAMPING:
a. (This step is required for RE-LAMPING only, if installing a lamp for the first time, skip to step 3b).
Remove the existing lamp from the socket by grasping the lamp around its outside edge and gently
wiggling back and forth, while pulling the lamp away from the socket.
b. Without touching the bulb portion of the lamp, align the pins and push the new lamp into the socket. If
bulb has been touched wipe off with a clean cotton cloth, as the oil from your fingers will significantly
shorten the life of the lamp.
