• If the screws are 5/8-inch long and are not corroded, keep them for later use.
• If the screws are an incorrect length or are corroded, dispose of them properly.
Use 6 -32 x 5/8-inch screws as described in Replacement Screws on page 21
instead.
8. Use a putty knife or similar object to completely remove the old index gasket from the
meter (if applicable). All traces of the gasket must be removed before the OpenWay
Gas Module can be installed.
Assemble the OpenWay Gas Module
When installing a 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module, the next major step is to create the
OpenWay Gas Module assembly by combining the module backplate and cover with the
meter index. Follow the procedure below to do so.
To Assemble the OpenWay Gas Module
1. Obtain a new 2.4GZ OpenWay Gas Module.
2. Separate the OpenWay Gas Module backplate from the cover.
3. Place the index drive gear (1) in the backplate wriggler gear cup (2) of the OpenWay
Gas Module (please note that the following example uses an 11-tooth drive gear; your
index may have a 16- or 18-tooth drive gear, and you must use the appropriate 2.4GZ
OpenWay Gas Module for your specific meter. See the Meter Compatibility list on
page 2 for more information).
