Milbank U1256-X-K4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank U1256-X 6-position meter socket work for a six-unit apartment building on single phase service?
That is what the U1256-X is built for. Six meter positions in one enclosure, 4 terminal jaws, single phase, rated 200 continuous amperes at 300 volts AC, 60 hertz. There is no main breaker in the unit and no receptacles, so overcurrent protection for each unit has to come from separate distribution equipment. The 4 terminal jaw configuration is the standard single phase 3-wire meter arrangement, so confirm your utility is metering single phase before ordering.
2) Can the Milbank U1256-X ringless meter socket be mounted outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. It is a Type 3R, UL Listed enclosure, which covers outdoor use against rain, sleet and ice. Construction is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, and it is a surface mount unit, so it goes flat to the wall rather than recessed into it. Overall height is 18 inches.
3) What size conductors can I land in a Milbank 200 amp meter socket, and will 350 kcmil fit?
The standard U1256-X takes 6 AWG through 350 kcmil on the load side, so 350 kcmil lands directly. If you need larger or a double connector, the option you order changes the lug: the K4 version takes 2 AWG to 600 kcmil in a double connector, and the horn bypass K3 versions take 4 AWG to 600 kcmil single connector. Pick the connector option at order time, since the lugs are factory installed.
4) Do I need a horn bypass version of the Milbank U1256-X, or will the standard one pass utility inspection?
That is a utility call, not a code call. Several U1256-X versions are built with horn bypass, including U1256-X-KK-K1 with 6-350 kcmil single connectors and U1256-X-KK-K4 style double connector units, and some are built to specific utility requirements: CAPL (Carolina Power and Light) on U1256-X-K2-CAPL, Duquesne Light on U1256-X-KK-K3-DLC, Delmarva Power and Light on U1256-X-KK-K4-DPL, and Pepco on U1256-X-KK-K4-PEP. Call your serving utility, get their approved socket spec, then match the suffix. Ordering a standard U1256-X into a bypass territory means the meter does not get set.
5) Does the Milbank 6-position meter socket include breakers or does each unit need its own disconnect?
No breakers. The U1256-X carries no main breaker and zero main breaker positions, so it is a metering enclosure only. Each of the six tenant feeds needs its own overcurrent device and disconnecting means elsewhere. If you want the disconnect built into the metering assembly, you are looking for a meter main or a meter pack with branch breakers, not this socket.
6) What does ringless mean on a Milbank meter socket, and do I still need a sealing ring?
Ringless means no separate meter sealing ring. The cover itself retains the meter and is sealed at the cover, so there is nothing extra to buy or lose during a meter swap. The U1256-X is a ringless socket with a large closing plate over the hub opening, so it ships closed off and you punch or fit the hub you actually need. Utilities generally specify one or the other, ringless or ring type, so verify which your utility accepts before ordering.
7) Can a Milbank U1256-X meter socket be set on a pedestal instead of a building wall?
Only the pedestal version. U1256-X-KK-PED is built with pedestal mount provision along with horn bypass and 4-600 kcmil single connectors. The other U1256-X versions are surface mount for wall installation. For a mobile home park, RV site, or any run where there is no wall at the service point, order the PED suffix rather than trying to adapt a wall unit.
8) Is there a lockable version of the Milbank U1256-X for a property where the meter bank gets tampered with?
Three options address that. U1256-X-HSP adds a stainless steel hasp for a padlock, and two horn bypass versions come with barrel lock provisions: U1256-X-KK-K3-BL for a 9/16 inch barrel lock and U1256-X-KK-K3-BLG for a 7/8 inch barrel lock. Barrel lock sizing is usually dictated by the utility's own lock stock, so match the size they use before ordering.
9) What is the quadplex ground option on the Milbank U1256-X-QG-KK-K4?
U1256-X-QG-KK-K4 is the quadplex ground version, built with horn bypass across all six positions and double connectors taking 2 AWG to 600 kcmil. Some utilities require the quadplex grounding arrangement in multi-meter service equipment. If your utility spec sheet calls for it, this is the suffix; the other U1256-X versions do not carry it.
10) Is the Milbank U1256-X rated for a coastal or industrial site where corrosion is a problem?
The enclosure is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish over it, which is the standard corrosion package for outdoor Type 3R service equipment. For a salt air location, the stainless steel hasp version, U1256-X-HSP, avoids a plated hasp as the first thing to rust. Beyond that, no stainless or aluminum enclosure version is offered in the U1256-X range.
11) What UNSPSC code should I use to requisition a Milbank U1256-X meter socket?
UNSPSC 39121102 covers the U1256-X. Milbank's own family code for this 200 amp group is G200, which is what shows on the manufacturer's ordering documentation. For a purchase order, the part number to specify is U1256-X plus whatever suffix matches your utility and connector requirement.
