Yes. The 124 TB single meter socket carries a 3R degree of protection, which is the rain-tight rating used for outdoor service equipment on an exterior wall or a meter pedestal back. It is UL certified and EUSERC approved, which is what most western utilities require before they will set a meter in it.

It is built for single-phase, three-wire service, one meter position, so it suits a single-family dwelling, a small storefront, or one tenant of a multi-family building where each unit gets its own socket. If you need to meter several units off one gutter, you need a multi-position socket or a meter stack instead, not this single-position can.

Ring type. The cover is retained by a sealing ring around the meter, so you need a ring-style meter cover and the utility's sealing ring to finish it. A ringless socket uses a hinged cover that locks over the meter and the two are not interchangeable, so match whichever style your serving utility specifies before you set the can.

Plan for a surface-mounted enclosure measuring 30 in high, 14 in wide, and 6 in deep. At 32 lb it is a two-hand lift onto the wall, so set your mounting hardware and blocking before you raise it, and leave clearance above and below for the service raceway and the working space your inspector expects in front of the meter.

Both. The 124 TB is set up for overhead and underground feed, so the same enclosure works whether the utility drops a service conductor from a mast or brings a lateral up from a conduit below. That matters if you are standardizing one part number across a subdivision where some lots are served overhead and some underground.

The 124 TB comes with a test block bypass. That lets the utility or a test technician connect meters in parallel and check the installed meter's accuracy, or keep the load energized while the meter is pulled, without cutting service to the customer. If the utility does not require test facilities, a plain socket with no bypass is the simpler order; many utilities specify the test block on commercial and rental service, which is why it shows up on spec sheets.

ANSI 61 gray paint, the standard gray used across most switchgear, panelboards, and CT cabinets, so it lines up visually with the rest of a typical service assembly. It is a painted outdoor finish, so touch up any drilled knockouts or field scratches to keep corrosion out of the cut edge.
