Socket Assembly as shown in (fig. 18) Press them in

Build the Support Structure

Step 7

In this example, we will build the structure to fit between the

2 ceiling joists. First, measure the distance between the inner

edges. (fig. 21)

Cut a section of the 2 x 4 to that length, then cut 2 pieces to

11” to form the sides. (fig. 22)

Then fasten together with the 3”deck screws. (fig. 23)

The Support Structure can be configured as necessary to allow the
flexible conduit and junction box to be supported at the correct height
relative to the Light Kit assembly when it is installed. The requirement
is that the flexible conduit and Junction Box be supported between 12
1/2” to 13 1/2” from the top of the sheet rock.

Mounting the Light Kit (Flex Tube)

Step 8 (Flex Tube)

Set the Support Structure in the desired installation position and

find the center on top and mark. (fig. 24) Place the Junction Box

in position over the center and note where the exit point will be

for the flex tube - straight across and level to the center hole on

the box. (fig. 25) Make a cross cut in the material about 3/4” wide

(fig. 26)

From inside the Diffuser Housing, install the 3 Wing nuts

on the existing posts but do not tighten all the way. (fig. 27) If the

posts are covered with foil tape uncover with Utility Knife.

Remove the protective cover from one of the Reinforcement

Rings and place onto the Flexible Conduit, adhesive side out.

(fig. 28)

Then guide the cord and Flexible Conduit through the

cross cut and attach the 3 Legs onto the Wing nut posts and

tighten firmly. (fig. 29, 30 & 31) You may need to adjust the

Socket and Connecting Bracket slightly to allow the Legs to fit.

Once you have tightened the Wing nuts press the Reinforcement

Ring onto the Flex Tube (fig 32)
