Milbank U1079-R-5T9 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Milbank U1079 320 amp meter socket include a main breaker or disconnect?
No. The U1079 ringless socket is metering only, with no main breaker (the main breaker count is zero) and no receptacles. If the utility or the AHJ wants a service disconnect at the meter, you need a separate disconnect downstream or a meter-main combination unit instead of this socket.
2) Can the Milbank 320A ringless meter socket be mounted outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. It is a UL Listed Type 3R enclosure, which is the rain-tight rating used for outdoor service entrance equipment, and it is surface mount, so it fastens flat to the wall rather than recessing into it. The body is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish.
3) What does the lever bypass do, and do I need it on a 320 amp service?
The lever bypass lets the meter be pulled and replaced while the service stays energized through the bypass, so the customer does not lose power for a meter swap. Many utilities require a bypass on 320 amp (class 320) sockets. Check your utility's approved meter socket list, since bypass type is a utility specification, not a code one.
4) Will this Milbank socket work for an underground service lateral, or is it overhead only?
Both. Cable entry is rated for overhead or underground. For an overhead drop you use the hub at the top; for underground you bring the lateral in through the bottom. The U1079-DTL version comes with a 2 inch hub already fitted, and the K3 hub-adapter versions handle 4 AWG to 600 kcmil through a small hub.
5) Which Milbank U1079 version do I order if my utility requires a 5th terminal for network metering?
Order U1079-R-5T9, the ringless version with the 5th terminal in the 9 o'clock position. The base U1079-R is a standard 4 terminal socket with no 5th jaw, so it will not satisfy a utility that specs 5th terminal metering. Confirm the clock position your utility wants, since 9 o'clock is one of several.
6) How much wall space do I need for the Milbank U1079 meter socket?
Plan on 4.844 x 13 x 38.75 inches overall, with 38.75 inches being the height. It is a tall, narrow can, so the constraint on most jobs is vertical clearance between the weatherhead and the meter height the utility requires, not width.
7) Is there a version of this Milbank meter socket with a utility lock provision?
Yes, two of them. U1079-R-BL adds a 9/16 inch barrel lock provision, which is what most utilities use to seal a ringless cover. U1079-RXL-K3-K2-IL combines a lock provision with the small hub adapter for 4-600 kcmil, a double load connector for 6-350 kcmil, and 7/16 inch knockouts.
8) Is this a single phase socket, and what voltage is it rated for?
Single phase, 60 hertz, rated 600 volts AC, with one meter position. That covers standard 120/240V single phase residential and light commercial service. It is not a three phase socket, so do not use it on a 208Y/120 or 480Y/277 three phase service.
9) Does the Milbank U1079 come with a grounding connection, or do I add a ground bar?
A bonded ground strap is built in, giving you the equipment grounding bond at the socket without adding a separate kit. Internal insulation is glass polyester.
