How To
Stage 1
Feeding Electrical Cord Through Pipe & Fittings
First, line up all the fittings and pipe next to each other based on how they will be assembled.
The portfolio lamp kit comes with a several rubber stoppers and a threaded rod.
There is a rubber stopper that fits perfectly into the 3/8" Coupling and this is what we will use for this build.
Take the wire provided in the portfolio lamp kit and, in order, feed it through all the fittings, pipe, rubber stopper and threaded rod provided in portfolio lamp kit.
See Stage 1 chart for image of path.
Stage 2
Installing Lamp Socket and Harp
Place the threaded rod into the rubber stopper and place the rubber stopper into the coupling, making it flush to the end of the coupling.
Secure rubber stopper with threaded rod by tightening the coupling set screw.
Place your lamp harp on the top with the threaded rod going through the harp hole located on the bottom of the harp.
Take the bottom of the socket off and install it into the threaded rod with the wires going through the threaded rod.
This is the point you will want to install the wires into the socket per the instructions provided in the portfolio lamp kit.
Lastly, install the lamp shade into the top of the harp.
