Abstract
A recessed incandescent lighting fixture has a faceplate and a wireway spaced from the faceplate for holding a bulb socket and for effecting the electrical connections to the fixture. A substantially cylindrical thermal protector is connected to the wireway by a wireway extension comprising a flexible metallic conduit; and a bracket is disposed on the rear surface of the faceplate for releasably retaining the protector and conduit thereat. The bracket comprises a base member, a first mounting member having a first slot therein for releasably retaining the thermal protector, a second mounting member having two arms forming a second slot for releasably receiving the minor root diameter of the conduit, and a spacing member disposed in the slots for deflecting the two arms relative to each other at an angle substantially equal to the pitch of the conduit thread.
