B-LINE 117 TB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will this Eaton B-Line meter socket work for a 100 amp residential service?
Yes, the B-Line 117 TB meter socket is rated 100 A and built as a single-position socket, so it serves one service. It takes both overhead and underground feed, so you can use it on a mast drop or a lateral without changing sockets.
2) What size conductors can I land in the line and load lugs on the B-Line 117 TB meter socket?
Both the line and load lugs accept #14 through 2/0 conductors. That covers the usual 2/0 aluminum or 1/0 copper run used on a 100 amp service, and it means you do not need separate reducers for smaller load-side conductors.
3) Can this meter socket be mounted outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. The 117 TB carries a Type 3R enclosure rating, which is the rainproof rating used for outdoor meter equipment, and it is a surface mount unit that fastens to the wall face rather than recessing into it. Housing is galvanized steel.
4) Is this a ringless or ring type meter socket?
It is a ring type socket, meaning the meter is retained by a sealing ring rather than by a ringless cover. Utilities specify one or the other and they are not interchangeable in the field, so confirm your utility accepts ring type before ordering the 117 TB.
5) Is the Eaton B-Line 117 TB meter socket EUSERC approved?
Yes, it is EUSERC approved and UL listed. EUSERC approval matters if you are working in the western utility territories that enforce those drawings, and many of them will reject a socket that is not on the EUSERC list.
6) Does the 117 TB have a bypass, and what kind?
It comes with a test block bypass. That gives the utility a way to bypass the meter for testing or meter swaps without dropping service to the customer. If your utility spec calls for a lever bypass or no bypass at all, this is not the socket to order.
7) What are the dimensions of the B-Line 117 TB meter socket for wall layout?
It measures 24 inches high by 12 inches wide with a 4.625 inch depth off the wall, and weighs 22.1 pounds. Plan the meter height per your utility and allow the 4-5/8 inch projection when you are laying out next to a disconnect or siding trim.
8) Can one B-Line 117 TB socket serve two apartments or two meters?
No. It is a one position socket, so it holds a single meter for a single service. For a duplex or small multi-family you need a multi-position socket or a metering pack rated for the number of tenants.
9) Do I need a separate socket if the service comes in underground instead of overhead?
No. The 117 TB is built for both overhead and underground feed, so the same unit works whether you are landing a mast drop from above or a lateral from below. Line lugs accept #14 through 2/0 either way.
