Milbank U2986-O-PEP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank U2986-O meter socket pass a Pepco inspection in the DC area?
The U2986-O is offered in two builds: a standard version and a U2986-O-PEP built to Potomac Electric Power Company specifications. If the service is in Pepco territory, order the -PEP variant, since that is the one carrying the Pepco approval. Both are UL Listed and Type 3R rated for outdoor mounting.
2) Is this Milbank 200A ringless socket for underground service or overhead drop?
Underground. The U2986-O is built with a side wireway for underground cable entry, and the top is a plain top hub closing plate, so there is no hub opening for an overhead weatherhead riser. For an overhead service drop you want a socket ordered with a hub opening instead.
3) Does the Milbank U2986-O meter socket come with a main breaker or a disconnect?
No. It is a meter socket only, with no main breaker and no bypass provision. You will need a separate service disconnect downstream, sized to the 200 amp continuous rating. If the utility requires the meter to be pulled under load for service work, note there is no lever or horn bypass in this can.
4) How much wall space do I need for the Milbank U2986-O meter socket?
Plan on a footprint of 4.5L x 13W x 19H inches, surface mounted to the wall. The 13 inch width already includes the side wireway, so allow clear space beside the meter position for the underground conductors to sweep in, plus utility working clearance in front of the meter face.
5) What size lugs or terminals does the Milbank U2986-O use for 200 amp underground conductors?
The line and load connections are 3/8 inch stud terminals, so your underground service conductors land on compression or mechanical lugs sized for a 3/8 inch bolt. Bring the correct lug for the conductor size your 200 amp service calls for, since the stud is the attachment point, not a set-screw box lug.
6) Can a ringless meter socket be mounted outdoors in rain and ice?
Yes. The Milbank U2986-O is Type 3R rated, which covers outdoor exposure to rain, sleet and ice. The enclosure is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, and the meter jaws sit on glass polyester insulation. Type 3R is not washdown or dust tight, so it belongs on a wall, not in a hose-down or corrosive process area.
7) What is the difference between a ringless and a ring-type meter socket, and which do I need?
Ringless sockets use a hinged or bolted cover that holds the meter without a separate sealing ring, and the U2986-O is a ringless design. Ring type uses a locking ring around the meter flange. Which one you can install is set by the serving utility, not by preference. Pepco territory is where the U2986-O-PEP applies. On other utilities, confirm the meter equipment list before you buy, because an inspector will fail the wrong style even though the electrical rating is identical.
8) Can I use this Milbank meter socket on a 480 volt or a 320 amp service?
Voltage is fine, the socket is rated to 600 volts AC, so 120/240 and 277/480 are inside the insulation rating, but the 4-jaw single phase configuration means it is intended for single phase service. On current, 200 continuous amperes is the ceiling. A 320 amp (400 amp class) service needs a larger socket; do not use this one.
9) Can I use the Milbank U2986-O to meter individual units in a multi-family building?
Only one unit per can. The U2986-O is a single meter position with no receptacles built in, so a property manager metering several apartments needs one socket per tenant, or a multi-position meter stack designed for that purpose. For a building with several accounts on one service, a meter stack is usually the cleaner and more compact answer than a row of individual sockets.
10) What is the Milbank product family code 4T20 on the U2986-O?
4T20 is Milbank's family designation for the 4 terminal, 200 amp group, which is exactly what the U2986-O is: four jaws, single position, 200 amp continuous. Distributors cross-referencing a Milbank quote will see the same family code across the 4-jaw 200 amp sockets, with the individual catalog number (U2986-O, or U2986-O-PEP for the Pepco build) identifying the specific cable entry and cover configuration.
11) What UNSPSC code should I use for a meter socket on a government or institutional purchase order?
The Milbank U2986-O carries UNSPSC 39121102. Procurement groups standardizing electrical service equipment across a facility can use that code for the meter socket line, with the 200 amp single phase, 600 volt rating and UL Listed Type 3R status as the qualifying specs.
