Milbank U1980-O-KK-BLG-AEP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Milbank U1980-O meter socket work for an underground service lateral?
Yes, that is exactly what the U1980-O is built for. Cable entry is underground with a side wireway, and the top is a plain top with no hub opening, so the service conductors come up from below and land through the side wireway rather than through a mast. If your service drops overhead and you need a hub in the top, this is the wrong socket for that opening.
2) What size service conductors will land in the Milbank 200 amp ringless meter socket?
Both line and load terminals take 6 AWG through 350 kcmil, and they are lay-in type, so you drop the conductor in rather than fishing it through a closed lug. That range covers the usual 200 amp underground service conductor sizes on both the utility side and the conductors heading to the panel. The socket is rated 200 continuous amperes at 600 VAC, 60 Hz.
3) Does the Milbank U1980-O meter socket include a main breaker or disconnect?
No. The U1980-O is a meter socket only, no main breaker and no receptacles, with one meter position. You still need a separate service disconnect or a main breaker panel downstream to complete the service. If you want the meter and the main in one enclosure, you are looking for a meter main combination instead of this socket.
4) Is a 4 terminal ringless socket the right one for a 200 amp single phase residential service?
For standard 120/240 volt single phase service, 4 jaws is the correct count: two line, two load. This one is single phase and 4 terminal. Ringless means the cover slips over the socket and is secured by the utility's sealing arrangement rather than a locking ring, which is what most utilities now specify. If your utility calls for a ringed socket or a network meter, or if you are metering three phase, a 4 terminal ringless single phase socket will not be accepted. Utility requirements vary by territory, so match the socket to your local approved list.
5) Which Milbank U1980-O option do I order if my utility is AEP, Pepco, or Delmarva?
There are utility specific versions built to those territories' requirements: U1980-O-KK-AEP and U1980-O-KK-BLG-AEP for American Electric Power, U1980-O-KK-PEP for Pepco, and U1980-O-KK-DPL for Delmarva Power and Light. All four are horn bypass versions. Order the one matching your serving utility, because a socket that is not on their approved list will not get a meter set.
6) What is horn bypass on a meter socket and do I need it?
Horn bypass lets the utility keep power flowing to the customer while the meter is pulled, so service is not interrupted for a meter change or test. On the U1980 series it is the -KK suffix: U1980-O-KK is the plain horn bypass version, and the base U1980-O has no bypass. Many utilities require bypass on commercial and multi-family services and allow the non-bypass version on simple residential. Ask your serving utility which they will accept before ordering, since it is not a field addition.
7) How do I lock or seal the Milbank U1980-O meter socket cover?
Three sealing arrangements are offered. The stainless steel hasp version, U1980-O-HSP, takes a padlock or a utility seal. Barrel lock provision comes in two barrel sizes: 9/16 inch on U1980-O-BL and U1980-O-KK-BL, and 7/8 inch on the side bussed U1980-O-KK-BLG. The barrel size has to match the lock your utility uses, so confirm which barrel they carry before you pick.
8) Can the Milbank ringless meter socket be mounted outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. It is a Type 3R enclosure and UL Listed, surface mount, in G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, which is the standard construction for exterior wall mounted metering. Type 3R handles rain and weather on an outdoor wall. It is not a submersible or washdown rating, so keep it out of locations that see direct hose or flooding.
9) How much wall space do I need for the Milbank U1980-O meter socket?
The socket measures 4.5 inches long by 13 inches wide by 15.25 inches high, so plan on roughly a 13 by 15-1/4 inch wall footprint with about 4-1/2 inches of projection off the wall. Set the meter center at the height your utility specifies and leave working clearance in front per code.
10) I need to standardize meter sockets across a multi-unit property. Does one Milbank U1980-O cover more than one unit?
No. The U1980-O carries one meter position, so it is one socket per metered unit. For a multi-unit property you would either install one of these per unit or move to a multi-position meter stack. Where the base socket does work across a portfolio, the identifiers to standardize on are the U1980-O family code 4T20 and whichever suffix your utility requires, so every building gets the same bypass and lock arrangement.
11) What is the meter socket base insulation on the Milbank 4 terminal socket made of?
The jaw base is glass polyester, a molded thermoset insulator that holds the meter jaws in position and isolates them from the galvanized steel enclosure. It is the standard base material for a 600 volt class socket and it does not soften with heat the way a thermoplastic base can under a loose lug.
12) What UNSPSC code should I use to requisition the Milbank ringless meter socket?
UNSPSC 39121102 covers this meter socket, which is the code to drop into a purchase requisition or an e-procurement line for government, healthcare, or institutional buying. Pair it with Milbank part number U1980-O plus the suffix for the bypass and lock version you need.
