B-LINE 172 HSHDB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many meter positions does the B-Line 172 HSHDB meter pack hold, and what service does each position serve?
The 172 HSHDB is a two-position horizontal meter pack. Each socket is a 4-jaw, 3-wire socket rated 100 A, so it suits single-phase 3-wire residential or light commercial services like a duplex or a small two-unit building. If you need more than two meters at one location you need a larger pack, not this one.
2) What wire sizes can I land in the B-Line 172 HSHDB horizontal meter pack?
Line side lugs take #6 through 250 MCM, and the load side lugs take #14 through 2/0. So a 250 MCM aluminum service entrance conductor will land on the line side, but on the tenant side you are capped at 2/0, which limits each 100 A position to conductors in that range.
3) Can this B-Line meter pack be mounted outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. It is a Type 3R enclosure, which is rain and sleet resistant, and it is a surface mount unit, so it goes flat against an exterior wall or backboard. The body is galvanized steel finished in ANSI 61 gray paint. 3R is not washdown or dust tight, so keep it off locations that need 4 or 4X.
4) Does this meter pack come with a meter bypass?
No bypass is provided on the 172 HSHDB. Power has to be cut at the source to pull or set a meter. If your utility requires a lever or horn bypass for maintenance under load, specify a bypass model instead.
5) Is this a ringless meter pack or does it take a sealing ring?
It is a ring type socket, meaning the cover is retained by a sealing ring around the meter. Many utilities specify one or the other and will not accept the wrong style, so confirm ring versus ringless with the serving utility before you set it.
6) Will the 172 HSHDB work for an underground service lateral, or is it overhead only?
Either. The feed type is listed as overhead/underground, so the same pack can be fed from a service drop or from a lateral coming up from below.
7) What space do I need on the wall for this two-gang meter pack?
Figure on 24 inches wide by 12 inches high with 4.63 inches of depth off the wall. It weighs 21 pounds, so one person can hang it, but the horizontal layout means you need clear wall width rather than height, and the meters still need the working clearance and meter height your utility specifies.
8) Is the B-Line 172 HSHDB UL listed for an inspected installation?
Yes, it carries a UL listing. That is usually what the inspector and the utility want to see on a multi meter socket assembly.
9) Do the meter sockets come with main breakers or tenant disconnects?
The 172 HSHDB is a meter socket pack only, two 4-jaw sockets with line and load lugs. There are no branch breakers or tenant disconnects in it, so each unit's overcurrent protection and disconnect has to be provided downstream in the tenant panel or in a separate disconnect.
10) Which model number do I order for this two-position 100 A horizontal meter pack?
Order Eaton B-Line model 172 HSHDB. That is the ring type, 3R, two-position, 4-jaw 3-wire, 100 A configuration in ANSI 61 gray.
