It is a little hard to explain certain aspects. The light socket sits up inside the PVC coupling adapters, and the coupling adapters are somewhat screwed onto the metal nipples, although I think some construction adhesive would also be a great way to attach them together.

I hope this helps!

Hi Jared – I drilled holes in the plaque that corresponded to the junction box and used threaded screws to hang it. However, I am not an electrician, so please consult one for advice on hanging this light fixture in your own home!

How exactly did you connect the the wooden plaque from Michaels to the junction box?

Hi David,
I can totally visualize what you’re saying and the difficulty you are having. And I’m really kicking myself right now because I made this light three years ago and I remember the tees posing a bit of a problem when wiring, but I’m having a hard time remembering exactly how I handled it. (I decided not to document exact wiring instructions in the post because I’m not an electrician and didn’t want to steer anyone in the wrong direction!) You definitely want some extra wire so there is some wiggle room… You might also try putting together the length of the light fixture first and then feeding the wire through so you can fish it through each tee. I really hope this helps!

started to make the pipe light fixture today but was a little baffled about screwing together the pieces with the wiring strung through them…every time I get to a ‘Tee’ piece & try to screw it to the pipe the wire wraps around the other wire inside the pipe & is pulled up into the ‘Tee’…
I’ve tried going from the outside piece toward the center but I keep having the same problem.
Maybe I’m using the wrong kind of wire, I don’t know.
Could you explain this process a little more…

Thank you! I wish I could tell you about the tile, but it was in the house when we bought it. It’s a porcelain/ceramic tile meant to look like slate, if that helps at all!

I like your ideas. Thanks for posting. Funny question, but what is the tile that is in your photo? I love it!

Hi Hillary,

Thank you! I’m so glad you like the design 🙂
Since it’s a DIY light fixture, it is not UL listed. I’m not entirely sure what that entails, but I think if there’s any concern it would be best to consult an electrician.

All the best,
~ Brynne
