Milbank K8180 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How big is the Milbank K8180 copper bypass jumper, and will it fit inside a meter socket enclosure?
The K8180 measures 0.2 x 5 x 7 inches. Milbank lists the 0.2 inch figure as length, 5 inches as width and 7 inches as height, so the copper is a flat bar roughly a fifth of an inch thick with a 5 by 7 inch face. Measure the clear space between your socket jaws and the enclosure interior against those numbers before you buy, since the bar has to sit flat across the jaws without crowding the cover.
2) Is the Milbank K8180 bypass jumper insulated?
No insulation on it at all. The K8180 is bare copper with an unpainted finish, so every surface is live once it is in place. That is deliberate, since the raw copper is what makes contact, but it means the enclosure cover and normal energized work practices are the only thing between the bar and anything else in the can. Treat it as an exposed live conductor for as long as it is installed.
3) Is the Milbank K8180 a single part number, or do I have to pick a size?
One configuration only. The copper bypass jumper is ordered as K8180, with no finish, size or length options to specify. What you see in the 0.2 x 5 x 7 inch dimensions is the part you get, so the only decision is whether that geometry suits your socket.
4) Does the Milbank K8180 bypass jumper come with mounting hardware or knockouts?
The K8180 is the copper bar by itself. No knockouts are provided in it, and nothing about it is drilled for conduit or accessory mounting. It installs into the socket jaws or landing points that are already in your meter enclosure, so any bolts, washers or lugs your particular socket needs come from the socket, not from this part.
5) I manage a multi-unit building with a meter bank. Is this the right part for swapping out one tenant meter?
That is exactly the job this bar is for. Milbank lists it as a metering accessory for maintaining continuity during meter removal, replacement or service, including multi-unit meter centers. Two practical limits before you order: the bar is uninsulated bare copper, so this is energized work for a qualified electrician, and in most jurisdictions the utility controls the meter and the seal. Get their sign-off before anyone bypasses a socket.
6) Why copper instead of aluminum for a meter bypass jumper?
Copper is what the K8180 is made from, and on a bypass that matters twice over: conductivity for the short period the full service load runs through the bar, and corrosion resistance at the jaw contact faces, which is where a bypass overheats if it is going to. The bar is unpainted so there is no coating between the copper and the socket jaws.
