New Construction Can Light Installation

Electric Pro Academy - Real Skills to make real money.

• IC22 = rated for direct contact with insulation.
• Can light install:
• Determine the correct installation location.
• Measure and mark both rafters with the center line location.
• Use the center line mark on the can to correctly locate the can on the first rafter.
• Stretch out the can hangers to the second rafter and align the can with the mark, install the hangers.
• Measure and adjust the can's center mark to match the required distance off the second wall. Use the set screws on the hanger slides to secure the can in this location.
• Strip and prepare Romex wire and insert the external sheath at least 1/4" into the junction box.
• Use a wire nut to secure the color matched pairs together. Twist the nut until the twist wraps the insulated part of the two together a few time - pull on the stranded wire to ensure that it is locked into the wire nut.
• Fold and tuck the wires into the junction box and reinstall the cover.
• Finally secure the wire within 12 inches of line length to the framing.
