Milbank U3849-O-2/200-CECHA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank U3798-O meter socket work on a 240V single phase residential service?
Yes. The U3798-O ringless meter socket is rated up to 240 volts AC, 1 phase, 60 Hz, with a 4 terminal (4 jaw) meter mounting and a single meter position. That is the standard single phase residential and light commercial service configuration. It will not serve a three phase or a multi-meter installation.
2) What size service entrance conductors will the Milbank U3798-O meter socket lugs accept?
The line side lugs take 6 AWG through 350 kcmil, so it covers everything from a small 100 amp feed up through 350 kcmil copper or aluminum service entrance conductors on a 200 amp service. Equipment grounding is a 2 barrel ground lug, so you have two ground terminations without adding a separate bar.
3) Can this Milbank meter socket be mounted outdoors on the exterior wall of a building?
Yes, it is built for outdoor wall mounting. The enclosure is Type 3R rated and UL Listed, and the body is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish for corrosion resistance. Type 3R is the standard outdoor rain-tight rating for service equipment on an exterior wall. Note the top is a plain top with no factory hub opening, so a raintight hub or conduit entry has to be field cut and fitted.
4) What is the difference between the lever bypass and horn bypass versions of the Milbank U3798-O?
Both are 200 amp main breaker sockets; the difference is how the meter is bypassed for service work. U3798-O-200 is the standard lever bypass, where a lever makes the bypass connection. U3798-O-200-KK is the horn bypass version, which uses horn style bypass hardware. Utilities frequently specify one or the other, so order the bypass style your serving utility requires rather than choosing on preference.
5) Is there a Milbank meter socket with main breaker that mounts on a pedestal instead of a wall?
Yes. Where there is no wall to mount to, the U3849-O direct bury single pedestal units are the option: U3849-O-2/150 with two 150 amp main breakers, U3849-O-2/200 with two 200 amp main breakers, and U3849-O-200-100 with one 200 amp main plus one 100 amp breaker. These bury directly in the ground on a single pedestal, which is what you want for a detached garage, a well, an RV or trailer site, or a site with no structure to hang the socket on.
6) Which Milbank meter pedestal is approved for ComEd and Chicago Housing Authority jobs?
Order the CECHA suffix. U3849-O-2/200-CECHA and U3849-O-200-100-CECHA are the Commonwealth Edison and Chicago Housing Authority approved versions of the direct bury pedestal units. On a ComEd territory or CHA project, the non-CECHA part number of the same unit is not the approved one, so specify the CECHA suffix on the purchase order or the utility can reject the set at inspection.
7) Do I need a separate disconnect or main panel with a Milbank ringless meter socket with main breaker?
No separate service disconnect is needed. The main breaker is built into the socket enclosure, so the unit provides both the metering and the service overcurrent protection in one can. Downstream you still feed a distribution panel for branch circuits, but the outdoor service disconnect requirement is satisfied by the integral main.
8) Can I pull the meter for maintenance without killing power to the building?
Yes, that is what the lever bypass is for. Throwing the bypass carries the load around the meter socket jaws so the meter can be removed and replaced with service still on. It is the reason utilities and property managers specify a bypass socket on occupied buildings, where dropping power to swap a meter means notifying every tenant.
9) Does a ringless meter socket take a standard 4 jaw meter, and does the utility supply the ring?
A ringless socket uses a lift-off cover to secure the meter rather than a sealing ring around the meter rim, and it accepts a standard 4 terminal single phase meter. Utilities specify ringless or ring type by territory, so confirm which style your serving utility requires before ordering; a ring type meter cover will not adapt to a ringless enclosure.
10) Can I feed two separate units or two services from one Milbank pedestal?
On the meter side, no. The socket has one meter position and 4 jaws, so it meters a single service. What the U3849-O-2/200 and U3849-O-2/150 pedestals give you is two main breakers of the same rating fed from that one metered service, and U3849-O-200-100 gives a 200 amp main plus a 100 amp breaker, which is how you feed a house plus a shop or well pump off one meter. Two separately metered tenants need a multi-position socket instead.
11) Are there any convenience receptacles built into this Milbank meter pedestal?
None. The number of receptacles is zero on every version, including the direct bury pedestals. If the job needs a GFCI outlet at the pedestal, for an RV site or a job trailer, this is not the unit; you want a Milbank power outlet unit with factory installed receptacles instead.
12) How wide is the Milbank U3798-O meter socket enclosure for planning wall space?
The enclosure measures 13 inches wide, which is the figure to work from when laying out working clearance beside a gas meter, a downspout, or an adjacent panel. Note the top is plain, no factory hub, so allow room above for the conduit entry you cut in.
13) What insulates the jaws inside the Milbank socket, and will it hold up in a hot attic or a coastal install?
The jaw insulation is glass polyester, a thermoset material that holds its dielectric strength and dimensional stability at service temperatures rather than softening. The enclosure itself is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, which is the corrosion package for exterior and damp locations.
