Milbank U1729-X-DPL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Milbank U1729-X-DPL meter socket approved for Delmarva Power and Light service?
The U1729-X-DPL is built to the Delmarva Power and Light specification, which is why the -DPL suffix is on the model number. If you are working in another utility's territory, pull their approved meter socket list first, because utilities accept only sockets built to their own requirements even when the electrical ratings match.
2) Does this 320 amp Milbank meter socket include a main breaker or disconnect?
No breaker. The U1729-X-DPL is a meter socket only, with no main breaker and no receptacles, so the service disconnect and overcurrent protection have to come from a separate panel or disconnect downstream. The lever bypass lets the meter be pulled and changed without dropping service, but it is not a service disconnect.
3) Will a 4 terminal single phase meter socket work on my 320 amp 120/240V residential or small commercial service?
Yes, that is exactly the application. Four jaws, 1 phase, 320 continuous amps, rated 600V AC at 60 Hz, single meter position. A 4-jaw socket is the standard single phase 3-wire configuration; if your service is three phase you need a 7-jaw socket instead, not this one.
4) Can I use this meter socket for an overhead service drop?
It is configured for underground cable entry, and it ships with a large hub closing plate rather than an open hub. For an overhead service you would want a socket set up for overhead entry with a hub for the mast, so this one is the wrong pick on a drop.
5) How much wall space do I need for this Milbank 320A socket, and how is it mounted?
Plan for a surface-mount footprint of 4.875 inches deep by 15 inches wide by 30 inches high. It bolts flat to the wall or meter pole backing, so you need 30 inches of clear vertical run plus whatever height the utility requires to the meter center.
6) What size conductors land in this socket and how do they terminate?
Line and load connections are 3/8 inch stud terminals, so the service and load conductors terminate on lugs or compression fittings sized for a 3/8 inch bolt. Equipment grounding is through a 3 barrel ground lug in the can. Glass polyester insulation carries the jaw assembly.
7) Is this Milbank socket rated for outdoor mounting in rain and snow?
Type 3R, which is the rainproof outdoor rating meter sockets are normally supplied in, and it is UL Listed. The enclosure is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish for corrosion resistance. Type 3R is not a washdown or dust-tight rating, so it is not the choice for a hosed-down or heavy-dust interior location.
8) Why does a ringless meter socket need a closing plate, and what does the lever bypass do for my crew?
Ringless means the meter is retained by the socket cover rather than a sealing ring, so the utility seals the cover instead of a ring. The large closing plate blanks off the hub opening since the service comes in underground. The lever bypass lets the utility or your electrician shunt current around the meter to change or test it without killing power to the building, which matters on occupied multi-family and commercial loads.
9) I need to standardize meter sockets across a property. What is the exact part number to spec?
Specify Milbank U1729-X-DPL, a single position 320A 1-phase 4-terminal ringless socket with lever bypass, underground entry and large closing plate, in the 4T32 product family. Repeat orders against that number give you the same can and same jaw configuration on every opening.
