Installation Instructions
DOUBLE WALL HOUSING
READ PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION
ALWAYS TURN OFF MAIN POWER BEFORE INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICIAN
Fixtures are listed for insulated ceilings—Type IC, airtight—AT and for suspended
ceilings—Type S. To insure safe and reliable operations, make sure the fixture
corresponds to the proper ceiling installation. Read the following material carefully
before beginning installation.
In general these instructions apply to “round” housings. Drawings of “round” housings
have been used to illustrate installation procedures.
Before attempting installation of any recessed lighting fixture check your local electrical
code. This code sets the wiring standards for your locality and should be carefully
studied before starting work.
INSULATED CEILINGS - TYPE IC
Insulated Ceiling
The insulated ceiling or IC approved
recessed fixture is one that can
be installed in direct contact with
insulation.
SUSPENDED CEILINGS - TYPE S
Fixture can be installed in suspended
ceilings that are not permanent or
insulated.
AIRTIGHT INSTALLATION
Nora housings certified under ASTM E283 are supplied with a pre-installed gasket or
supplied with a ready-to-install self adhesive gasket.
Step 1. Lay gasket flat and peel protective paper backing from gasket to
expose adhesive side.
Step 2. Apply supplied gasket to ceiling lip and wrap gasket around inside
of housing to form seal of the ceiling opening or apply caulk per
state/local code. When properly installed, Nora housings provide
compliance with restricted air-flow regulations.
FIRE/ELECTRICAL HAZARD: INSTALL ACCORDING TO NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE AND ANY
APPLICABLE MUNICIPAL CODE REQUIREMENTS.
This equipment is intended to be installed only by qualified personnel. The installation must be
made in accordance with the current edition to the National Electric Code and all applicable state
and local building codes. The final installation must be approved by the appropriate qualified
electrical/building inspector(s). Improper installation may result in a fire or electrical hazard. Be sure
the electrical power to the circuit has been disconnected before installing this electrical system.
For ballast replacement, a qualified electrician can replace the ballast without the cutting of wires.
For additional details, contact technical support at 800.686.6672.
FEU / RISQUE ÉLECTRIQUE: INSTALLER SELON au code électrique national et les exigences de
CODE municipaux applicables.
Cet équipement est destiné à être installé par un personnel qualifié. L’installation doit être faite
conformément à l’édition actuelle du Code national de l’électricité et tous les codes d’état et
de construction locaux applicables. L’installation finale doit être approuvée par l’inspecteur en
électricité / bâtiment qualifié approprié (s). Une mauvaise installation peut provoquer un incendie
ou un risque électrique. Assurez-vous que l’alimentation électrique du circuit a été coupée avant
l’installation de ce système électrique.
Pour le remplacement du ballast, un électricien qualifié peut remplacer le ballast sans la coupe de
fils. Pour plus de détails, contactez le support technique au 800.686.6672.
IMPORTANT- RISK OF FIRE:
Most dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated 60 degrees Celsius (thermal cutoffs in
fixtures operate at 90 degrees Celsius); consult a qualified electrician prior to installation. If supply
wires are located within three inches of ballast, use wire rated for at least 90oC.
A qualified electrician can replace this ballast without cutting wires. Contact technical support at
1-800-686-6672 for additional details.
IMPORTANT-RISQUE D’INCENDIE:
La plupart des logements construits avant 1985 ont le fil d’alimentation nominale de 60 degrés
Celsius (disjoncteurs thermiques dans les appareils fonctionnent à 90 degrés Celsius); consultez
un électricien qualifié avant l’installation. Si les fils d’alimentation sont situés à moins de trois
pouces de ballast, l’utilisation de fil résister au moins à 90 ° C.
Un électricien qualifié peut remplacer ce ballast sans couper les fils. Contactez le support technique
au 1-800-686-6672 pour plus de détails.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
1. Connect 1/2 inch trade size steel
conduit to junction box with
appropriate fitting.
2. Connect -

Copper or green grounding wire
Note oN grouNdiNg: Many structures carry grounding via steel conduit. If this
is the case, if there is no grounding wire, simply leave green wire on fixture
unattached. Fixture will be grounded through attachment of conduit to junction
box. However, if Romex or PVC conduit is used, ground wire will always be
present, and must be connected to green wire on fixture junction box to avoid
electrical shock hazard.

1) Use bar hangers to attach fixture between ceiling joists. Each end of the
bar hanger is equipped with a nail-in barbed tab. Additional hardware
such as screws or nails may be used if extra support
is necessary.
2) For steel studs, use steel piercing screws in place of
nails or barbed tabs.
3) Remove shipping screw from underneath side of plaster frame.
T-BAR CEILINGS:
1) If mounting to a T-Bar type ceiling, mount fixture onto
grid by placing notches on the bottom of each end of
the bar hanger over the grid.
2) Tie fixture to grid with structural wire going through
both the circular knockout on the end of the bar
hanger and nearest accompanying knockout on the
ceiling grid.
Note: It is imperative to tie down the fixture to prevent the fixture
from being pushed above the ceiling during trim installation.
