4. Connect bonding wire from bonding grid to bonding lug on rear of the mounting hub
assembly.
5. Before installing liner, be sure
gasket is firmly attached to
mounting hub. After liner is
installed and properly stretched
into position, locate bolt holes in
hub and punch liner for four
bracket mounting bolts. Install
the mounting spacer against the
liner and hold in position with
mounting bracket. Secure with
four (4) bracket mounting bolts
and washers.
NOTE: If using PVC conduit, you
must attach grounding wire to
grounding lug on upper left
mounting bolt positioned, see
Figure 4, on page 6.

pool construction (Continued)
6. Wrap a length of the cord up to a maximum of eight (8) feet long on the back of the light
assembly. Wind a maximum of three (3) wraps of cord so the last wrap stops at the top of
the light. This extra cord allows you to bring the light out of the pool to install a new lamp
and for servicing.
NOTE: Leave 2" to 3" of slack cord at the top so that the light may be tipped back for
removal.
7. Feed the remaining cord through the conduit hole in the mounting hub. Place hook
mounting bracket over the pin on the bottom of the mounting bracket and press down
lightly to secure in place. Secure at the top of the light with the captive screw. When
installed properly, the housing spacer should fill any gap between the pool wall and the
light.
NOTE: If PVC conduit is being used, a #8 ground wire for U.L. or a #6 ground wire for CSA,
must be pulled through the conduit along with the light cord and fastened at the junction
box and at the grounding lug located on the light wall Mounting Bracket (the Upper left
bracket mounting bolt).

13. While holding the glass lens and plastic face ring, turn the light over and place it face down
on a flat soft clean surface. Be careful not to scratch the lens.
14. Insert one new sealing screw, provided with the Bulb Replacement Kit, through the circular
hole located at the TOP (12 o'clock) of the back of the housing and loosely tighten it into
the face ring. Insert the remaining new sealing screw through the circular hole located at
the BOTTOM (6 o'clock) of the back of the housing and loosely tighten it into the face ring.
The BOTTOM (6 o'clock) circular hole is accessible through a hole drilled in the center of
the hook mounting bracket.
15. Continue to tighten all the sealing screws into the face ring. It is recommended that
opposing sealing screws be tightened in order (12 o'clock and 6 o'clock; 3 o'clock and 9
o'clock, etc.) to the recommended torque of 10-15 in-lbs. This provides even pressure on
the lens and lens gasket and creates a seal between the environment and the inside of the
light fixture.
16. Wrap a length of the cord up to a maximum of eight (8) feet long on the back of the light
assembly. Wind a maximum of three (3) wraps of cord so that the last wrap stops at the
top of the light. This extra cord allows the light to be brought out of the pool for servicing.
NOTE: Leave 2" to 3" of slack cord at the top so that the light may be tipped back for
removal.
17. Feed the remaining cord through the conduit hole in the mounting hub. Place the hook
mounting bracket over the pin on the bottom of the mounting bracket. Press down
lightly to secure in place. Secure at the top of the light with the captive screw.
18. Before operating the light for more than 10 seconds, be sure the Nicheless Light is
completely submerged in water. To check for proper operation, switch on the main switch
or circuit breaker, as well as the switch which operates the Nicheless Light.
Section 3: Replacing a lamp only (Continued)
WARNING Always install a new lens gasket, part number 619599, whenever
reassembling the light. Failure to do so may permit water to leak into the assembly which
could cause; (a) an electrical hazard resulting in death or serious injury to pool users,
installer, or others due to electrical shock, or (b) breakage of the lamp or lens, which
likewise could result in serious injury to pool user, installers, or bystanders, or in damage
to property.
WARNING Use only the special stainless steel captive screw (see Light
Assembly Parts, item 4, on page 14) provided with this Nicheless Light. This screw
mounts and electrically grounds the housing securely to the Nicheless fixture. Failure to
use the screw provided could create an electrical hazard which could result in death or
serious injury to pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock.
