A metallization module for applying a metal layer on the screen of a CRT faceplate panel is described. The metallization module comprises a vacuum chamber having sidewalls, a base, an adaptor plate, and a lid. The adaptor plate is positioned between the lid and the sidewalls of the metallization module. Evacuation of the vacuum chamber causes atmospheric pressure to act against the outside surface of the lid, forming an airtight seal between the lid, the adaptor plate, and the top lip of the sidewalls. A plurality adjustable rods in conjunction with the adaptor plate are used to support the faceplate panel within the metallization module.
