Installation Instructions - Recessed Housing Platforms P406TAT - Non IC, Shallow and P408ICAT - IC
be locked into position by tightening bar hanger locking
screws on housing platform. (Figure 6.)
Adjustments Following Ceiling Installation
The bottom edge of the plaster frame collar must be flush
to within 1/8" of bottom of the finished ceiling for proper
operation. The plaster frame collar height and rotational
alignment are adjustable. The plaster frame collar has
centered alignment notches to aid in adjustments.
Plaster Frame Collar Height and Rotational Alignment
Height - Loosen the collar height adjustment screws and
adjust the plaster frame collar flush with the finished ceiling.
When the plaster frame collar is flush to within 1/8" of
the finished ceiling, tighten the collar adjustment screws.
(Figure 8.)
Rotation - If adjustment of the rotational alignment of the
collar is necessary, loosen the collar centering thumbnut
and the collar locking thumbnut. Rotate the collar to
the desired position and then tighten the collar locking
thumbnut. It is not necessary to tighten the collar centering
thumbnut.
Installation of Extended Depth Collars
Extended depth collars are available in 1" to 1 - 1/2" and
•
1 - 1/2" to 2" ranges for thicker ceilings.
To install an extended depth collar, remove the collar
•
height adjustment screws (Figure 8.). Remove the
collar, noting the orientation. Insert the extended depth
collar in the same orientation and reinstall the collar
height adjustment screws. Adjust the extended depth
collar flush to within 1/8" of the finished ceiling and
tighten the collar height adjustment screws.
Electrical Connection
Provide electrical service according the National Electrical
Code or your local electrical code from a suitable junction
box to the wiring box located on the plaster frame.
(Figure 9.)
The junction box will accept both 1/2" metal conduit

Review fixture labeling to make sure it is rated for
the voltage installation being used. Make sure no
bare wires are exposed outside the wire nut
connectors.
1.
Provide electrical service according to the "National
Electrical Code" or your local electrical code to the
junction box (located on the plaster frame). Supply wire
insulation must be rated for at least 90° C. The junction
box is also rated for a maximum of 4 No. 12 AWG
Branch Circuit conductors suitable for at least 90°C.
2.
Remove junction box cover.
3.
Metal Conduit: Remove appropriate round knockout and
connect conduit to junction box with proper connector
(not included).
Non-Metal Cable: Proceed to next step.
4.
Connect supply wires to wires in fixture using proper
sized wire nuts (not included). Be careful not to leave
any bare current carrying conductors outside the wire
nut connectors (Figure 10.).
The ground wire at the junction box may need to be

5.
Metal Conduit: Proceed to the next step.
Non-Metallic Cable: Open the appropriate wire trap cap
and slide the cable into the wire trap. The cable will be
held in place and no other connector will be required.
6.
Place all connections and excess wiring into the
junction box and replace cover.
