Milbank U2873-XT-5T9 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank U2873-XT 3-position meter socket work for a triplex where each unit needs its own 200A service?
No. The U2873-XT carries a 200 continuous ampere rating for the socket as a whole, not 200A per meter position. It holds three meter positions in one ringless enclosure on a single-phase 300 volt AC service, which suits a building where the three units draw from one 200A service. If each dwelling needs its own 200A disconnect and feed, you need separate 200A sockets or a rated multi-position assembly sized above 200A.
2) Does the Milbank U2873-XT meter socket include a main breaker or do I need a separate disconnect?
There is no main breaker in the U2873-XT. It is a socket only, with zero main breakers and no receptacles, so overcurrent protection and the disconnecting means have to come from separate equipment downstream of each meter position. Plan the branch panel or individual disconnects into the job, because nothing in this enclosure provides them.
3) What size conductors can I land in the Milbank U2873-XT meter socket?
Load side terminations take 2 AWG through 350 kcmil on 3/8 inch stud terminals. That range covers the usual 4/0 aluminum or 2/0 copper 200A service conductors with room left over, and the stud style means you are landing lugs or compression terminals rather than setscrew connectors, so order the right lug hardware for whatever conductor you are pulling.
4) Can this Milbank ringless socket be fed from underground, or is it overhead only?
Both. The U2873-XT has a center wireway and takes overhead or underground cable entry, and it ships with twin large closing plates so you can open the hub opening you need for a weatherhead drop or blank it off for a lateral coming up from below. That center wireway is also what carries the feed between the three meter positions.
5) Can the meter be pulled on a Milbank U2873-XT without dropping power to the tenant?
Yes, that is what the lever bypass is for. Throwing the lever carries the load around the meter socket jaws so a meter can be pulled, tested, or swapped with service still live to the unit. For a property manager running a three-unit building, it means a meter change is not an outage for the whole address. Note the bypass is a maintenance provision for the utility or a qualified electrician, not a service disconnect.
6) My utility requires a 5-jaw socket with the fifth terminal at the 9 o'clock position. Which Milbank U2873-XT do I order?
Order the U2873-XT-5T9. The base U2873-XT is a 5 terminal socket, but the fifth terminal location is what varies, and the 5T9 version places it at 9 o'clock to match utilities that specify that arrangement. Getting this wrong is a failed inspection and a socket swap, so confirm the position with the serving utility before the order goes in.
7) Which Milbank U2873-XT version is approved for an Ameren service?
The U2873-XT-QG-AMS is the Ameren approved quadplex ground lever bypass 3 position version. The whole U2873-XT family is built to Ameren Energy requirements, but the QG-AMS is the one carrying the explicit Ameren approval along with the quadplex ground arrangement. Utility approval lists are specific, so match the suffix to what the serving utility has on its accepted equipment list.
8) Will a Milbank U2873-XT work on a 3-phase service?
No. The U2873-XT is a single phase socket rated 300 volts AC at 60 hertz with 5 terminals, which suits single phase three wire residential and light commercial metering, including the fifth terminal for a neutral or current reference where the utility requires it. A three phase service needs a 7-jaw socket rated for that system. Do not attempt to meter three phase through this enclosure.
9) Is the Milbank U2873-XT rated for outdoor mounting on an exterior wall?
Type 3R and UL Listed, so it is built for outdoor surface mounting with protection against rain and sleet. The enclosure is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, and the jaw insulation is glass polyester. Surface mount is the only mounting configuration, so it goes on the face of the wall rather than recessed into it.
10) Can I get a Milbank 3-position meter socket that locks, for a property where the meter bank is exposed?
The U2873-XT-HSP adds a stainless steel hasp so the cover can be padlocked or sealed. For a strip center, apartment building, or any meter bank a tenant or the public can walk up to, that is the version to order. The standard U2873-XT comes without it, and the hasp is not something you add cleanly in the field.
11) What is the difference between a ringless meter socket and a ring type socket, and which do I need?
A ringless socket like the Milbank U2873-XT uses a hinged or lift off cover that seals directly to the enclosure, with no separate sealing ring around the meter. Ring type sockets clamp the meter under a steel ring the utility seals. Neither is better built; the utility decides which it accepts, and that decision is regional. If the serving utility standardizes on ringless, this is the correct style and a ring type socket gets rejected at inspection.
12) I need to standardize meter sockets across a multi-building property. Does the Milbank U2873-XT come in variations that share the same footprint?
All four U2873-XT versions are the same 200A, 5 terminal, 3 position ringless socket in the same G90 galvanized steel enclosure, differing only by option: standard, fifth terminal at 9 o'clock, stainless steel hasp, or the Ameren approved quadplex ground version. That lets a facility keep one enclosure and one set of spare covers across buildings while still matching whatever the local utility asks for at each address.
13) How deep does the Milbank U2873-XT sit off the wall?
Six inches is the stated product length for the U2873-XT. That matters when the meter bank goes on a walkway, a stairwell landing, or anywhere a projecting enclosure eats into required clearance, and it matters for the conduit offsets coming into the center wireway. Confirm the wall run has the depth before the mounting unistrut goes up.
