The canopy covers
the electrical wires and the receptacle box in the ceiling. The receptacle box
is usually 3-3/4" octagon shape and is attached to the framing or concrete
ceiling
The canopy is
attached to the treaded rod where the wires come out of the receptacle box
The canopy does NOT
go through to hole of the medallion
rather it
sits on
the surface of the medallion
The medallion may
have a flat area around the hole or it may have a design. You can select a
medallion with a center flat area slightly larger than the diameter of the
canopy or you can put the canopy directly to the decorative motif on the
medallion covering part of the pattern. Since it is high up it is unlikely to be
noticed.
For
deep medallions you will need to acquire a longer threaded rod or
extender to attach the connector
