Milbank U2856-X-KK-5T – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Milbank U2856-X meter socket come with a main breaker installed?
No. The U2856-X is supplied with a main breaker provision only, and the number of main breakers is zero. You get the space and mounting arrangement to add a main, but the breaker itself has to be ordered separately. If you need a factory-installed main, this is not the unit to spec.
2) How many tenants can the Milbank 6-position ringless meter socket serve, and at what amperage?
Six meter positions with six branch circuits, rated 125 continuous amperes at up to 240 volts AC, single phase, 60 Hz. That covers a six-unit apartment or small multi-tenant commercial building off one service point. The 125A rating is the socket's continuous capacity, not a per-tenant figure.
3) Can the Milbank U2856-X be installed outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. It is a Type 3R enclosure, UL Listed, built from G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, so it is rated for outdoor wall mounting where rain, sleet and ice are the exposure. It is a surface mount unit, so it bolts to the wall face rather than recessing into it.
4) Will the U2856-X work with an underground service lateral, or is it overhead only?
Either. Cable entry is rated for overhead or underground, and it ships with a large closing plate over the hub opening so you can fit the hub your utility requires for an overhead drop, or leave the plate in place and bring the lateral in from below.
5) Which Milbank U2856-X option do I order for a ComEd or Chicago Housing Authority job?
The U2856-X-KK-PED-CECHA is the CECHA approved configuration, horn bypass with vertical pedestal mount. The other five options are the plain U2856-X, the -HSP with a stainless steel hasp, the -KK horn bypass, the -KK-5T five terminal horn bypass vertical, and the -KK-PED horn bypass pedestal mount with single connector. Utility approval drives this choice more than anything else, so confirm what the serving utility will accept before you pick.
6) Can I use the Milbank U2856-X on a 208Y/120 three-phase service?
No. This is a single-phase socket rated up to 240 volts AC at 60 Hz. For a three-phase service you need a three-phase gang socket instead. Single-phase 120/240 residential and light commercial multi-tenant services are what this unit is built for.
7) What wall space do I need for a Milbank 6-position 125A meter socket?
The enclosure is 37 inches high by 31 inches wide. Plan the surface-mount backing and working clearance around those dimensions before you set the unit, and allow for conduit entry above or below depending on whether the feed is overhead or underground.
8) What is the difference between the wall-mount and pedestal-mount versions of the Milbank U2856-X?
The base enclosure is a surface mount unit meant to go on a building wall. The -KK-PED and -KK-PED-CECHA options are configured for pedestal mounting, which is what you use when there is no wall at the service point, typically a free-standing gang meter in a parking area or between buildings. Both pedestal options include horn bypass.
9) Should I order 4-terminal or 5-terminal sockets on the Milbank U2856-X?
Take the -KK-5T if your utility requires five-terminal jaws in a vertical horn bypass arrangement. The standard U2856-X and the plain -KK horn bypass cover the usual 4 and 5 terminal ringless applications. The utility, not the building, decides this, so get the meter requirement in writing first.
10) What does horn bypass add on the Milbank meter socket, and do I need it?
Horn bypass lets the meter be pulled without dropping power to the tenant, which is why many utilities mandate it on multi-position gang sockets. Four of the six U2856-X configurations include it: -KK, -KK-5T, -KK-PED and -KK-PED-CECHA. If your utility does not require bypass, the standard U2856-X or the hasp version will do.
11) How are the line and load conductors landed in the Milbank U2856-X, and how is it grounded?
Connections are made to 3/8 inch studs, and equipment grounding is through a ground lug in the enclosure. Size your lugs and terminations to suit the 3/8 inch stud hardware. Internal insulation is glass polyester.
12) Does the Milbank 6-position socket include tenant branch breakers or receptacles?
No breakers and no receptacles are supplied. It carries six branch circuit positions and zero receptacles, so house-power outlets and the individual tenant overcurrent devices are separate. Plan tenant panels downstream of the socket.
13) Which Milbank U2856-X option can be padlocked?
The U2856-X-HSP adds a stainless steel hasp so the cover can be padlocked, which matters on ground-level installs in multi-family or housing authority properties where tampering is a concern. The other configurations do not include the hasp.
