The
chandelier's canopy
or cupola is shown above
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
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
