Connecting stranded copper
house wire
WARNING: Turn the power off at the circuit breaker or
fuse. Place tape over the circuit breaker switch and verify
power is off at the light fixture.
IMPORTANT: Use only NM-B 14/2 or 12/2 wire for the pigtail. The
pigtail wire size must match the existing house wiring (14 AWG or
12 AWG). Color match the solid-core wire and the house wire when
connecting together.
If the house wiring is stranded wire instead of solid-
core copper wire, a pigtail using solid-core wire (2) will
be required (not included). Follow these instructions
to connect the mounting plate (D) using the pigtail
method.
□
Cut 4 to 6 inches of NM-B wire (2) to match the
existing house wire (14 AWG or 12 AWG).
□
If necessary, strip 5/8 in. of insulation from
junction box wires (1).
□
Strip 5/8 in. of insulation from one end of the
solid-core wire (2).
□
Attach the two wires together using a wire
nut (3 - not included). Ensure the solid-core
wire insulation matches the junction box wire.
□
Repeat for the remaining two wires.
□
To attach the solid-core pigtail to the mounting
plate (D), strip 5/8 in. of insulation from the
other end of the solid-core wire. Use the wire
length measuring guide on the back of the
mounting plate (D) to ensure the correct wire
length.
□
Insert the pigtail wires into the side of the
terminal block on the back of the mounting
plate (D).
□
Insert the white pigtail wire into the
terminal marked "N".
□
Insert the black pigtail wire into the
terminal marked "L".
□
Insert the bare or green ground pigtail
wire into the terminal marked "G".
