B-LINE EL20L43GRST – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size conductors will the B-Line EL20L43GRST meter socket accept on the line and load side?
Both the line and load lugs on the EL20L43GRST take #6 through 350 MCM. That covers typical copper or aluminum service entrance conductors for a residential or light commercial service drop, and it means you do not need a separate reducer for smaller #6 taps.
2) Can this B-Line meter socket be mounted outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. The EL20L43GRST carries a Type 3R enclosure rating, which is the standard rain-tight rating for outdoor service equipment, and it is surface mount, so it lands flat on an exterior wall or a meter pole board. The enclosure is galvanized steel finished in ANSI 61 gray paint.
3) Does this meter socket work for a single phase three wire residential service?
That is exactly what it is built for. The socket is configured 1 phase, 3 wire with 4 jaws and a single meter position, which is the standard arrangement for a 120/240V single phase residential or small commercial service. If you need a three phase or multi-position socket, this is not the one.
4) Is the B-Line EL20L43GRST rated for a 200 amp service?
Yes, it is a 200 A socket, and the lug range of #6 to 350 MCM will take the 4/0 aluminum or 2/0 copper normally pulled for a 200 amp dwelling service.
5) Is this a ringless meter socket or a ring type?
The cover on the EL20L43GRST is ringless, so it is sealed by the utility at the cover rather than with a separate sealing ring around the meter. Utilities usually standardize on one style or the other, so confirm your serving utility takes ringless before ordering.
6) Can this meter socket be fed from an underground lateral, or only from an overhead drop?
Both. The EL20L43GRST is built for overhead and underground feed, so you can bring the service in through the top hub for a mast and drop, or from below for a lateral, without changing to a different socket.
7) Is this B-Line meter socket UL listed for an inspected service install?
Yes, the socket is UL listed, which is what an inspector looks for on service entrance equipment.
8) What are the dimensions and weight of the B-Line 200 A single meter socket?
It measures 19.125 in height, 13.25 in width, and 5.63 in depth, and weighs 19.86 lb. Useful numbers if you are laying out wall space next to a panel or checking clearance on a meter board, and light enough for one person to hang.
9) Will a galvanized steel meter socket hold up in a coastal or wet location?
The body is galvanized steel with an ANSI 61 gray paint finish over it, and the enclosure is Type 3R for outdoor wet exposure. That combination is the normal choice for exterior service equipment. In heavy salt air, plan on the same inspection routine you would give any painted steel enclosure, and keep the hub and knockouts properly sealed.
