2. Make certain no bare wires are exposed outside the wire nut
connectors.
3. This luminaire (fixture) is designed for installation where it
may come in contact with insulation (Fig. 1).
4. Bar hangers are designed to allow positioning of housing
along the entire length of bars.
Flange
Note: Hammer all four nails into
joists once fixture is aligned.
3. Position fixture between joists at desired location by sliding
housing on hanger bars. Once the housing is in the desired
location, squeeze tabs into hanger bars to lock luminaire (fixture)
into place (Fig 2).
4. Wire luminaire (fixture) per “Electrical Connections” section.
5. Locate center of fixture opening in the ceiling sheetrock and cut a
5-3/4" diameter hole.
6. After ceiling has been put in place, adjust fixture housing so that it
is flush with or no more than 1/16" above the finished ceiling
surface.
7. To adjust, loosen three screws inside the can, move the inside can

INSTALLATION IN NEW CONSTRUCTION
1. If provided install the gasket supplied with fixture by removing the
protective cover on the back of the gasket. Place the gasket so that
it extends around the extruded flange on the frame and covers the
(3) slots adjacent to the extruded flange.
2. Adjust hanger bars to fit between joists. Align the flange of the
hanger bar with the underside of the joists and nail the hanger bar
to the joist (Fig. 2). Level the opposite end of the hanger bar and
nail it securely to the joist. Repeat the process with the other
hanger bar.
INSTALLATION (SUSPENDED CEILINGS)
1. If provided install the gasket supplied with fixture by removing the
protective cover on the back of the gasket. Place the gasket so that
it extends around the extruded flange on the frame and covers the
(3) slots adjacent to the extruded flange.
2. Locate fixture proposed fixture center in the ceiling tile and cut
5-3/4" diameter hole.
3. Place ceiling tile in the T-bar grid.
4. Adjust hanger bars to fit between T-bars and rest fixture on top of
the T-bars, making sure that fixture opening is centered over the
hole in the ceiling tile. Hanger bars should be adjusted so that the
top of the T-bars fit into the slots on each end of the hanger bars.
Note: if needed, the size of the slot in the Hanger bars can be
adjusted up to 1/2" by bending the hook tab to either side. (Fig. 4).
