Installation Instructions

MTU Instruction
for Rockwell/Equimeter Model 750-10000 Gas Meters
Step 3 – If the index cover screws were
difficult to remove, the threads in the
index plate may need to be cleaned out
before installing the hardware that retains
the IPT. Use the blind-hole tap to
carefully clean out/ clean up the threads
of the (2) cover holes. Blow out the holes
with compressed (canned) air.
NOTE: It is not necessary to clean the
index mounting-hole threads as these
holes are not reused.
Step 4 – Thread the (full thread) ends of
the securing studs (2) into the index cover
screw holes of the index plate. Lightly
snug the studs by grasping them by the
flat that is machined into the top of the
stud. Apply the gasket over the studs as
shown.
Step 5 – Before setting the IPT over the
mounting studs, you must align the shaft
drive pin of the IPT so that it will engage
inside the fork portion of the meter drive
foot.
Step 6 – Place the IPT (middle set of
holes) over the mounting studs. Make
sure that the IPT drive pin engages the
fork of the meter drive foot.
Step 7 – Mount the register onto the base
of the IPT using the same screws that
originally secured the register to the index
plate (meter head). The drive foot of the
index must engage the fork of the IPT
drive shaft. Tighten/torque the screws to
approximately 4-5 ft-lb.
NOTE: If the index cover that was
removed has the security cap boss
extensions, this cover will need to be
replaced with an index cover without the
security cap bosses.
Step 8 – Although not necessary, it may
be desired to keep water or dirt from
collecting in the unused corner mounting
holes. If closing them is desired, use a
permanent outdoor rated non-shrinking
putty or caulk such as an RTV.
