Milbank 6116 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Milbank meter opening closing plate actually used for?
It plugs the round meter opening on a meter socket when no meter is installed in it. Typical cases: a socket set for future service, a meter pulled during a disconnect, or an unused opening on a multi-gang installation that still needs to be closed off. Milbank's plate is a formed round plate that mounts flush in the opening, and it works on both ringless and ring type sockets.
2) Will a Milbank closing plate work on a ringless socket, or do I need a different one for ring type?
One part covers both. The Milbank closing plate is stated for use with ringless and ring type meter sockets, so you do not have to identify the socket style before ordering. That matters on a property where the openings were installed over different years and the socket styles are mixed.
3) What is the difference between the Milbank 6003 and 6116 closing plates?
Material and visibility. The 6003 is gray plastic, an opaque closure. The 6116 is clear plastic, so the socket interior and jaws stay visible with the plate in place. Same round flush mount plate otherwise. Order the clear one where someone needs to see into the socket without pulling the plate, the gray one where you just want the opening closed.
4) Is the Milbank meter closing plate rain-tight or NEMA rated for outdoor meter sockets?
The plate itself carries no NEMA rating. Treat it as a closure for the opening, not as the enclosure's weather barrier. On an outdoor socket, the enclosure and its cover are what establish the environmental rating, and the closing plate does not add one.
5) Should I use a closing plate or a blank meter cover on an empty meter socket?
A closing plate goes into the round meter opening itself and closes just that hole, mounting flush. That is the right choice when the socket cover is otherwise fine and only the meter opening is open, or when the opening is temporarily empty during a disconnect. Replacing the whole hub or cover is the move only when the cover itself is damaged or the socket style is being changed. For the common case of a socket sitting without a meter, the plate is the smaller and faster fix.
6) I manage several buildings with different meter sockets. Can I stock one closing plate for all of them?
Largely yes. Because the plate is stated for both ringless and ring type sockets, one part number covers the two socket styles you will run into across a mixed portfolio. Stock the gray 6003 as the general closure and the clear 6116 where crews want to see the jaws without pulling the plate.
7) Can I leave a Milbank closing plate in permanently, or is it only for temporary disconnects?
Both. It is a metering accessory intended for sockets needing temporary or permanent closure, so a plate left in a socket set for future service is a normal use, as is one dropped in during a service disconnect and pulled when the meter goes back.
8) Is the Milbank meter closing plate metal or plastic?
Plastic, in both versions: gray plastic as model 6003 and clear plastic as model 6116. There is no metal option in the line, which is worth knowing if a utility on your job specifies a metallic closure.
