How to Install the B228E-R Lampholder & Round Box Kit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the B228E-R lampholder and round box kit, ensuring proper wiring and assembly for safe operation.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire stripper (WT2000)

Supplies needed:

Round outlet box, 1/2" round thread plugs, Lampholders, Reflector cover, Round three hole cover, Round gasket (large), Wire connectors, Circular gaskets (small), Cover screws (1/2" long)

  1. Prepare the outlet box

    Coat the threads of two round plugs with sealant and install them into the unused holes of the outlet box. Ensure they are tightened firmly.

  2. Mount the outlet box

    Feed the supply wire into the box and secure the box to the surface using 1" long screws.

  3. Connect the ground wire

    Strip 1/2" of insulation from the ground wire, attach it under the ground screw in the outlet box, and tighten without overtightening.

  4. Assemble the lampholders

    Strip 1/2" of insulation from the ends of the lampholder wires, coat the threads of the lampholders with sealant, and screw them into the round three hole cover without overtightening.

  5. Wire the lampholders

    Connect all white wires together using a wire connector, then connect all black wires in the same manner. Ensure no bare conductors are visible.

  6. Attach the cover

    Align the screw holes of the cover with those in the gasket and box, then secure the cover using the 1/2" long screws.

  7. Install the bulbs

    Place a small circular gasket over the base of each bulb and screw the bulbs into the lampholder sockets without overtightening.
