UNFINISHED COPPER POINTED DEEP CANOPY WITH 1/8IPS SLIP THROUGH HOLE
What is a Canopy?
A Canopy is a decorative plate made with high quality materials and in a variety durable finishes that attaches to the ceiling to cover the electrical junction box.
Installing a new light fixture is a great way to instantly change a drab room into a dazzling one. While lighting showrooms and catalogs have a wide variety of fixtures to tempt you, Grand Brass Lamp Parts has served the Retail and Wholesale lamp parts, lighting parts, and chandelier parts industry since 1913. We carry a large selection of lamp parts and chandelier parts including canopies and canopy accessories.
WARNING! Always consult with a licensed electrician as improper or incorrect wiring of an electrical device can result in a potentially lethal shock or fire which can cause bodily harm, and death. If you are unsure about wiring your next project consult with a licensed electrician.
Before handling wires on any lighting project in your home, it is always best to turn off the circuit breaker that powers the light.
If you aren’t sure which breaker turns off the light, turn off the main breaker and use natural light or a headlamp to complete this project.
The following instructions are just some examples of common installation setups for various styles of Canopies, but each method can be modified to suit your needs.

Remove the old fixture, if applicable. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws, or an impact driver with a hex-shaft to remove the nuts, that secure the canopy (the dome-shaped cover) to the ceiling. Then, use a screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the crossbar to the electrical box. Disconnect the wires on the fixture from the wires in the ceiling by removing the wire connectors and untwisting the wires. Carefully lower the old fixture.
Assemble the crossbar for the new fixture. Generally, you’ll need to line up the crossbar with the junction box and thread the pipe and screws through the crossbar.
Connect the wires First, make sure all the wires are on 1 side of the crossbar. You should connect the “hot” wire in the fixture to the “hot” wire in the ceiling, and the neutral wire in the fixture to the neutral wire in the ceiling. Generally, the hot wire is black or red and the neutral wire is white. Use wire connectors to connect the like wires to each other. Simply twist the exposed parts of the wires together, then screw the connector onto the wires. Tuck all of the wires and wire connectors into the electrical box. Then, use a screwdriver or impact driver to secure the canopy to the ceiling.
Slip the Canopy over the pipe and make the necessary adjustments until approximately Only 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.64 to 1.27 cm) of the pipe extends past the canopy, remove the Canopy and tighten the nut against the crossbar to lock it in place.
Slip the Canopy back over the nipple and then Screw in strain relief to the pipe.
Tighten the Strain Relief.
