B-LINE EL20L43GR2N – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the B-Line EL20L43GR2N meter socket be mounted outdoors?
Yes. The EL20L43GR2N carries a Type 3R enclosure rating, which is the standard rainproof rating for outdoor wall-mounted service equipment. The housing is galvanized steel finished in ANSI 61 gray paint, and it is UL listed.
2) Does this meter socket let me pull the meter without killing power to the customer?
It has a lever bypass, so a lineman or meter tech can close the bypass and remove the meter while the load stays energized. That is the feature most utilities require for commercial and larger residential services where the occupant cannot be dropped for a meter change.
3) Can the EL20L43GR2N be used on an underground service lateral, or is it overhead only?
Both. The socket is built for overhead and underground feed, so you can bring the service conductors in from a weatherhead above or up from a lateral below without changing enclosures.
4) What wall space do I need to plan for this Eaton B-Line single meter socket?
Lay out for 19.125 inches of height, 13.25 inches of width, and 5.5 inches of depth off the wall. It is a surface mount unit, so the full 5.5 inches projects from the finished wall surface. Weight is 19.86 lb, light enough for a one-person set on a solid backing.
5) Will this B-Line socket handle more than one meter?
No. It is a single-position socket, one meter only. For a duplex, a small strip mall, or any multi-tenant service you need a multi-position gang socket or a metering pack instead.
6) Is the Eaton B-Line EL20L43GR2N acceptable to a utility and an inspector for a service installation?
The socket is UL listed, which is the baseline the AHJ looks for. Beyond that, utility acceptance is decided by the serving utility's approved meter socket list, so check the EL20L43GR2N model number against your utility's list before you set it. Jaw count, bypass style, and ring versus ringless cover are the details they specify.
7) Is the enclosure on this meter socket going to hold up in a coastal or industrial environment?
The body is galvanized steel with an ANSI 61 gray paint finish over it, which is the standard outdoor service-equipment build. For heavy salt exposure, stainless is the usual step up, but painted galvanized over a 3R enclosure is what most utilities and MRO specs call for on exterior walls.
