Milbank U2853-X-KK-K1-PED – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Milbank U2853-X 3-position meter socket handle three separate 125A units in an apartment building?
The U2853-X carries three meter positions with 3 branch circuits, each rated 125 continuous amperes at up to 240 volts AC, single phase, 60 hertz. That covers three individually metered dwelling or tenant units off one enclosure. If any of your units needs more than 125A, this is the wrong socket for that unit.
2) Does the Milbank U2853-X meter socket come with main breakers installed, or do I buy them separately?
Breaker provision only. The U2853-X is built as a meter socket with main, meaning the positions are prepped to accept main breakers, but the breakers themselves are not part of the socket. Budget the three mains as a separate line on the order.
3) What size service conductors can I land in a Milbank U2853-X ringless meter socket?
Line side terminals take 6 AWG through 350 kcmil, so a typical 4/0 aluminum or 350 kcmil copper service lands directly with no reducers. Equipment grounding is through a ground lug in the enclosure.
4) Can the U2853-X meter socket be used on an overhead service, or is it underground only?
Both. Cable entry is rated for overhead or underground, and the unit ships with a large closing plate over the hub opening, so you punch and fit a hub for an overhead mast or leave the plate in place and bring conduit in from below for a lateral.
5) Will a Milbank ringless meter socket work if my utility requires a ringed socket?
No. Ringless and ring-type sockets use different meter covers and the utility specifies which one it will accept, so a ringless unit like the U2853-X will be rejected where a ring-type is required. Ringless is the common requirement across most of the US, but confirm the socket type on your utility's approved meter equipment list before ordering. The jaw configuration here is 4 terminal, single phase.
6) What is the difference between the U2853-X and the U2853-X-KK horn bypass version?
The KK suffix adds horn bypass, which lets the utility or an electrician bypass the meter to keep the service energized while the meter is pulled or changed. Many utilities require bypass on multi-position gear so tenants do not lose power during a meter swap. The plain U2853-X has no bypass. Same 125A, 3-position, 4 terminal ringless body either way.
7) Is there a Milbank U2853-X version approved for ComEd and Chicago Housing Authority jobs?
Order the U2853-X-KK-K1-PED-CECHA. The CECHA suffix is the Commonwealth Edison / Chicago Housing Authority approved vertical pedestal configuration with horn bypass. On a Chicago-area job under ComEd, ordering the plain U2853-X risks a failed utility inspection and a return trip.
8) I need a meter socket that is not on a building wall. Is there a pedestal version of the Milbank U2853-X?
Yes. Order the U2853-X-KK-K1-PED for the pedestal mount with horn bypass and single connector, which is what you want for a manufactured home site, a trailer park, or any location with no suitable structure to hang the gear on. The standard U2853-X is surface mount and needs a wall.
9) Can the Milbank U2853-X be mounted outdoors on an exterior wall?
Type 3R, so it is built for outdoor wall mounting and sheds rain and sleet. The shell is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, and internal insulation is glass polyester. The whole assembly is UL Listed.
10) Will the Milbank U2853-X work on a 3-phase service?
No. It is a single phase, 4 terminal socket rated to 240 volts AC. A three phase service needs a 7 jaw socket, so on 208Y/120 or 480V three phase this unit does not apply.
11) Can I lock the cover on the Milbank 3-position meter socket to keep tenants out of it?
Specify the U2853-X-HSP, which adds a stainless steel hasp for a padlock. Worth doing on multi-family and retail strip work where the gear sits in a shared or public area. The base U2853-X has no hasp.
12) Does the Milbank U2853-X have receptacles for a house panel or maintenance outlet?
No receptacles at all. If you need a house meter outlet or a maintenance receptacle for common-area loads, that has to come from separate gear. The U2853-X is three metered 125A positions and nothing else.
