Milbank U2863-X-KK-5T – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank U2863-X 3-position meter socket work for a triplex or 3-unit apartment building service?
That is exactly what the U2863-X is built for. It carries three meter positions and three branch circuits in one enclosure, so each unit gets its own utility meter off a single service point. It is 1-phase, up to 240 volts AC, 60 Hz, rated 200 continuous amperes, with a provision for a main breaker ahead of the meters. Standard residential multi-unit service, not a 3-phase commercial service.
2) Does the Milbank U2863-X come with a main breaker, or do I have to buy one separately?
It ships as a breaker provision, meaning the space and mounting are there but the main breaker itself is a separate purchase. Budget the breaker into the job before you order. The socket handles the metering and the 200 ampere service entrance; the disconnect and overcurrent device go in the provision you fill.
3) What size service entrance conductors can I land in a Milbank U2863-X meter socket?
Line side terminals take 6 AWG through 350 kcmil, which covers the usual copper and aluminum SE conductor sizes for a 200 amp service. Ground is a lug, not a bar with multiple ports, so plan your grounding electrode conductor termination accordingly. Insulation on the socket is glass polyester.
4) Can the Milbank U2863-X be fed from an overhead drop, or is it underground service only?
Either one. The socket accepts overhead or underground cable entry, and it comes with a large closing plate for the hub opening, so you close off the top when you are coming in from below and fit a hub when you are coming in from above. That flexibility is why the same part number gets specified on both new underground developments and existing overhead-fed buildings.
5) What is the difference between a ringless meter socket and a ring-type one, and which does my utility want?
Ringless, like the U2863-X, uses a hinged or lift-off cover secured by the utility's seal rather than a separate sealing ring clamped around the meter rim. Which style you can install is set by the serving utility, not by preference, so confirm with them before ordering. Ringless is the common requirement across much of the Midwest, and the U2863-X specifically carries a Commonwealth Edison and Chicago Housing Authority feature designation. If your utility spec sheet calls for ring type, this is the wrong socket.
6) Is the Milbank U2863-X approved for a ComEd service in the Chicago area?
The U2863-X is designated for Commonwealth Edison and Chicago Housing Authority applications. If you are pulling permits on a CHA or ComEd territory job, there is also a CECHA-approved variant, the U2863-X-KK-K1-PED-CECHA, which combines horn bypass, vertical pedestal mounting and the CECHA approval in one part number. Match the exact suffix your utility approval letter calls for.
7) Which Milbank U2863-X option do I order if the utility requires a lever bypass?
Order a KK suffix. U2863-X-KK is the horn bypass version, U2863-X-KK-5T adds a 5 terminal vertical configuration for services that need a neutral or fifth terminal landing, and U2863-X-KK-K1-PED is horn bypass on a pedestal. The plain U2863-X has no bypass. Utilities that hot-swap meters without dropping the service almost always require a bypass, so check the utility spec before defaulting to the base part.
8) I need a 3-position meter stack but there is no wall to mount it on. Is there a freestanding version?
Yes, two of them. U2863-X-KK-K1-PED is the pedestal-mount build with horn bypass, and U2863-X-KK-K1-PED-CECHA is the same pedestal unit with the vertical CECHA approval. Both put the socket on its own stand for mobile home parks, lot-line services, and sites where the meters cannot be hung on a structure. The base U2863-X and the hasp version are surface-mount only.
9) Does 200 amp on the Milbank U2863-X mean 200 amps per unit or 200 amps total?
200 continuous amperes is the socket's rating, and the main breaker provision sits ahead of the three meter positions, so it is the service capacity for the whole assembly, not per tenant. Size the individual unit feeds and their branch devices accordingly. There are three branch circuits, one per metered position.
10) How do I lock a Milbank meter socket against tampering in a rough location?
Two paths. Every U2863-X has a 7/16 inch knockout for a standard utility barrel lock, which is what the serving utility uses for its own access control. If you need a padlock instead, order the U2863-X-HSP, which adds a stainless steel hasp. Property managers on multi-family sites with a history of meter tampering usually want the hasp version.
11) Will the Milbank U2863-X take a 5-terminal meter, or is it 4-terminal only?
Both. The U2863-X is a 4-5 terminal ringless socket. If your utility specifically requires the fifth terminal landed in a vertical arrangement with lever bypass, order U2863-X-KK-5T, which is built as the 5 terminal horn bypass vertical configuration.
12) Does the Milbank U2863-X include receptacles for house power or maintenance loads?
No receptacles are built in. The U2863-X is metering and distribution only, with three metered positions and three branch circuits. If the job needs a house panel or a maintenance outlet at the service point, that is separate equipment.
13) Will a Milbank U2863-X hold up mounted outdoors on the coast or in a road-salt environment?
The enclosure is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish over it, in a Type 3R rain-tight construction, which is the standard build for outdoor service equipment. For heavy salt exposure, specify stainless hardware where you can; the U2863-X-HSP variant uses a stainless steel hasp. Internal insulation is glass polyester.
