B-LINE 115 TB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line 115 TB meter socket work on a single phase 120/240 volt residential service?
Yes. The 115 TB is a single position socket wired 1 phase, 3 wire, rated 100 A, which is the standard single phase service configuration. One meter, one service. If you need to meter two or more tenants off one enclosure you need a multi position socket instead, not this one.
2) Is the B-Line 115 TB meter socket a ringless or ring type socket?
It is a ring type socket, meaning the meter is retained by a sealing ring rather than a hinged ringless cover. Utilities specify one or the other and they are not interchangeable in the field, so check which style your serving utility requires before ordering. If the utility calls for ringless, this is the wrong socket.
3) Can this B-Line 100 amp meter socket be mounted outside on an exterior wall?
Yes. The enclosure carries a Type 3R degree of protection, which is the rain tight rating used for outdoor service equipment, and it is galvanized steel finished in ANSI 61 gray paint. It surface mounts to the wall, so no flush pocket or recessed can is required.
4) What size service conductors will the lugs on this 100 amp meter socket take?
Line and load lugs are both rated #14 through 2/0. That covers the usual copper and aluminum conductor sizes run for a 100 A single phase service on both the utility side and the panel side. Anything larger than 2/0 will not land in these lugs.
5) Does the B-Line 115 TB socket accept an overhead drop or an underground lateral?
Both. The 115 TB is built for overhead and underground feed, so the same enclosure covers a weatherhead drop or a lateral coming up from below. That matters on remodel work where you do not yet know which way the utility will bring the service in.
6) How much wall space do I need for the B-Line 115 TB meter socket?
Plan for 24 inches high by 12 inches wide, with 4.625 inches of depth off the wall. It weighs 24 pounds, so on wood framing catch studs or use a backer, and keep the meter center at the height your utility requires.
7) What does the TB in B-Line 115 TB mean, and do I need it?
TB is the test block bypass. It gives the utility a means to test or change the meter without dropping the load, which many utilities require on their approved socket list. If your utility does not require bypass provisions you can use a plain socket without the test block, but specifying TB when it is called for saves a rejected inspection.
8) Is the B-Line 115 TB meter socket UL listed and utility approved?
It is UL listed and EUSERC approved. EUSERC approval is what most western utilities check against before they will set a meter, so that listing is the one to quote on a submittal for institutional or multi family service work.
