Milbank U2860-XL-5T9-QG – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank U2860-XL-5T9-QG meter socket work for a 100 amp overhead residential service?
That is exactly what the U2860-XL-5T9-QG is built for. It is a single phase, single meter position socket rated 100 continuous amperes at 600 volts AC, 60 hertz, with overhead cable entry. There is no main breaker in the can, so the service disconnect has to live somewhere else, either in the panel it feeds or in a separate disconnect ahead of it. Underground feeds are not what this one is configured for.
2) Does my utility require a 5 terminal meter socket, and what is the 5th jaw for?
The fifth jaw on this Milbank socket sits at the 9 o'clock position and is there for network metering and quadplex ground service where the utility meters the neutral or grounded conductor. Plenty of utilities specify 5 terminal for 120/208 network services. Check the utility's approved meter equipment list before you buy, because a utility that requires a 4 jaw socket will not set a meter in a 5 jaw can, and the reverse is also true.
3) Does the Milbank U2860-XL-5T9-QG come with a hub for conduit, or do I have to add one?
It ships with a small closing plate covering the hub opening, not a hub. Overhead service where the drop enters through a weatherhead and mast is the intended arrangement. If your installation needs conduit landed on top of the can, you order the correct Milbank hub to suit the raceway size and swap it in for the closing plate. The small plate size determines which hub family fits, so match the hub to a small opening.
4) Is there a main breaker in this Milbank meter socket, or do I need a separate disconnect?
No breaker is included, and there are no receptacles either. This is a meter socket only, one meter position with zero main breakers, so it is a metering can and nothing more. The overcurrent and disconnecting means has to be provided downstream in the panel or in a separate service disconnect. If you wanted metering and the main in one enclosure, you are looking for a meter main combination instead of this unit.
5) What does lever bypass do on a meter socket, and do I need it?
Lever bypass lets an electrician or meter tech throw a lever that shunts current around the meter jaws so the meter can be pulled and replaced with the load still energized. On the U2860-XL-5T9-QG that bypass is built in. If the property cannot take an outage for a meter swap, a bar or medical office, a tenant space, a pump, bypass is the version you want. Many utilities mandate it above a certain amperage or for commercial accounts. A socket without bypass means killing the service to change the meter.
6) How much wall space do I need for a Milbank 100A ringless meter socket, and how does it mount?
Plan for a footprint of 4.844 x 13 x 19 inches. It is a surface mount can, so it fastens flat to the wall or a backboard rather than recessing into the framing. On a 19 inch tall enclosure, remember the utility still has to be able to read the meter at their required height off finished grade, so set the mounting height from the meter center, not the top of the box.
7) Can a ringless meter socket be mounted outdoors in rain and ice?
Type 3R is the rating on this Milbank socket, which is the outdoor rating for rain, sleet and ice formation on the enclosure. The shell is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, and the socket is UL Listed. Type 3R is not a washdown or hosedown rating, so it belongs on an exterior wall, not in a location that gets pressure washed or sits under standing water.
8) What is the difference between a ringless and a ring type meter socket?
A ringless socket, like this Milbank 5 terminal unit, uses a hinged or lift off cover that seals over the meter instead of a separate sealing ring clamped around the meter rim. The utility seals the cover. Ring type uses a locking ring that seals the meter to the socket rim. Which one goes on the building is not an installer preference, it is set by the serving utility's meter standard. Ordering the wrong style means the meter does not get set.
9) I manage several buildings and want to standardize meter sockets. Is this one Milbank part good across a portfolio?
For 100 amp single phase overhead services on a utility that specifies ringless 5 terminal, the U2860-XL-5T9-QG standardizes cleanly, single meter position, lever bypass, Type 3R for exterior walls. Where it stops working is any opening that differs on the fundamentals: underground feeds, higher amperage, ring type utility standards, or a 4 jaw requirement. Sort your services by utility territory first, because the jaw count and ring style are set by the utility, not by you.
10) What insulating material separates the jaws in a Milbank ringless meter socket?
Glass polyester carries the jaw assembly in this socket. That matters on a bypass can, because the bypass hardware and the jaws are working in the same block, and glass polyester holds dimensional stability and dielectric strength through the heat cycling a 100 amp service puts on the terminals. The enclosure around it is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat.
