Housing Installation - Minimal Trim Housings
First Fix
How to install our Minimal Trim Range of Housings
Overview
The installation process of our Minimal trim housings is not unlike other light fittings, however you do need an accurate 62mm hole.
It is easy to install our products well, however you need to take a little bit of care, it may take a minute longer but the results will be much better.
Tools Required
Tools you will need are:
- 62mm circular holesaw
- Phillips screwdriver
- Flat head screwdriver
you may want to use our holesaw stabaliser
Cut Hole
Cut a 62mm Hole as it needs to be a snug fit for our housing
Fit Connector
Fit the supply connector to the cable
Install Housing
Push the housing into the hole and then twist to lock into place
Put in insert
Plug in connector and push the insert into housing .
Cut Hole
It is important that you cut a reasonably accurate hole without cracking the plaster as the hole is what holds the housing in the ceiling.
This is not difficult, just hold the drill straight and let the holesaw do the work rather than pushing hard to get it done in 10 seconds rather than 30 seconds.
Fit the connector
Take the Connector's cap off, fit the supply cable as shown in the image opposite, fit the earth cable of the housing into the the earth terminal,
The fitting of the housing earth cable into the connector ensures the earthing of the housing (although it is insulated) but also secures the supply connector to the housing for ease of locating the connector.
Repace the Connector cap.
Fit the Housing into the ceiling
Push the housing into the holeit will be an interference fit, so will be a little tight.
then turn the housing anit-clockwise to lock it in place, the wings will bite into the plasterboard ensuring a secure fit.
