also known as the “wiggle” test.

You can mount an Equimeter module to a Rockwell/Equimeter Residential Gas meter using
only two screws, as long as you use one of the following configurations (based on the
image below): A-D, B-C, or A-B. If screws cannot be properly installed, replace with
threaded inserts and 8-32 scews.
