Milbank U1973-EL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Milbank U1973-EL meter socket work for a 200 amp residential service entrance?
Yes. The U1973-EL is rated 200 continuous amperes, single phase, 600V AC at 60 Hz, with one meter position. That covers a standard 200 amp single phase residential or light commercial service entrance. It is a socket only, with no main breaker and no bypass provision, so overcurrent protection has to live in a separate panel or disconnect downstream.
2) Does the Milbank U1973-EL socket come with a main breaker or a meter bypass?
No to both. The U1973-EL has zero main breakers and no bypass provision, so it is a straight metering socket. If your utility requires a lever bypass for hot meter pulls, or you want the main disconnect combined in the same can, you need a different Milbank model. Plan on a separate service disconnect or main breaker panel ahead of or behind this socket.
3) Can I use this Milbank meter socket for an underground service, or is it overhead only?
Either one. Cable entry on the U1973-EL is rated for overhead or underground service. It ships with a 2-1/2 inch hub for the overhead drop through the top; for an underground lateral you bring the conduit in through the bottom and close off the hub opening with a closing plate.
4) What size conductors will fit the lay-in terminals on the Milbank U1973-EL?
Both line and load terminals take 6 AWG through 350 kcmil, and they are lay-in style, so you drop the conductor in rather than threading it through a lug barrel. That range covers 2/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum for a typical 200 amp service with plenty of headroom, and it also accepts small enough wire for a reduced service. Terminals are lay-in on both sides.
5) Is the Milbank U1973-EL rated to mount outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. The enclosure is UL Listed and Type 3R, which is the rain-and-sleet rated outdoor classification utilities expect on a service entrance socket. The can is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish for corrosion resistance, and internal insulation is glass polyester.
6) How much wall space do I need for the Milbank U1973-EL, and how does it mount?
It is a surface mount can measuring 4.125L x 11W x 15.5H inches. Allow for the 11 by 15.5 inch footprint against the wall plus the roughly 4-1/8 inch depth standing off it, and leave working clearance in front per your local code and the utility's meter height rules.
7) Is the neutral bonded in this Milbank meter socket, or do I need to add a bonding screw?
The U1973-EL comes with a bonded neutral, meaning the neutral is factory bonded to the enclosure. That is the normal arrangement on the line side of the service disconnect. Downstream of the socket, grounds and neutrals have to be separated in any subpanel.
8) Will a ringless meter socket like this accept a standard utility meter, or do I need a ring-type can?
A ringless socket uses a utility-supplied sealing cover rather than a separate locking ring around the meter rim. Which style your utility accepts is set by their service rules, not by the meter itself, so confirm the ringless requirement with the utility before you buy. The U1973-EL is a single-position, single-phase can and carries Milbank product family code 4T20.
9) What hub size is on the Milbank U1973-EL and will it take 2 inch rigid conduit?
The can is furnished with a 2-1/2 inch hub. A 2-1/2 inch hub accepts 2-1/2 inch conduit; to come in with 2 inch rigid you would need a reducing bushing or a different hub closing plate sized to the raceway you are running.
10) Does this Milbank socket have any receptacles or a built-in outlet for a well pump or RV?
No receptacles are built into the U1973-EL. It is a bare metering socket with one meter position, no main breaker, and no bypass. If you need a GFCI receptacle or an RV outlet integrated in the same enclosure, that is a meter-pedestal or combination socket product, not this one.
