Assemble the Lamp Kit

Check your lamp kit for all the parts: threaded pipe, wired socket, hex nuts, washers, fiber disc, and harp. If your threaded pipe was not precut, cut it to measure about 1 inch longer than the height of your pot. Attach the large fiber disc and washer to one end of the threaded pipe, and secure it between two hex nuts―this will go in the base of the pot. Screw the socket on the other end of the pipe, and tighten.
