Milbank U2986-XL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Milbank U2986-XL meter socket accept a standard 200A residential meter?
The U2986-XL is a single-position, 4 terminal (4 jaw) ringless socket rated 200 continuous amps at 1 phase, 600V AC, 60 Hz. That 4 jaw single-phase configuration is what a standard residential 200A self-contained meter drops into. It has no bypass provision, so the meter must be pulled to de-energize the load side.
2) Can the Milbank U2986-XL ringless meter socket be mounted outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. It's a surface-mount enclosure, UL Listed and rated Type 3R, which is the rain-tight outdoor classification for service equipment. The shell is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish for corrosion resistance, and the live parts sit on glass polyester insulation.
3) Can I feed the Milbank U2986-XL from an underground lateral, or is it overhead only?
Both. Cable entry is listed for overhead, underground, and side wireway, so it works for a weatherhead drop, an underground service lateral, or a side-fed run from adjacent gear. It ships with a small closing plate on the hub opening, which you remove and replace with a hub when you go overhead.
4) Does the Milbank U2986-XL include a main breaker or disconnect?
No. It is a meter socket only, with no main breaker and no bypass. Zero breakers and zero receptacles are provided. You'll need a separate service disconnect or main breaker panel downstream of it to meet code for the service entrance.
5) What size conductors and lugs does the Milbank U2986-XL use for the line and load connections?
Line and load connections are 3/8 inch stud terminals, not screw-type lugs, so you terminate with ring-tongue or two-hole compression lugs sized for a 3/8 inch bolt. Equipment grounding is through a ground lug in the enclosure.
6) Is the Milbank U2986-XL suitable for a 3-phase commercial service?
No. It's a 1 phase, 4 terminal socket. A 3 phase service needs a 7 jaw socket. For 120/240V single-phase residential and light commercial 200A services at up to 600V AC, this is the right configuration.
7) Can I use the Milbank U2986-XL where the utility requires a meter bypass for hot socket changes?
No. This socket has no bypass provision, so the meter must be pulled to interrupt service. If your utility requires lever or horn bypass for safe meter exchange, specify a bypass-equipped 200A socket instead.
8) What are the dimensions of the Milbank U2986-XL meter socket, and will it fit my existing mounting footprint?
Overall size is 4.5 L x 13 W x 19 H inches, so 13 inches wide by 19 inches tall with a 4.5 inch depth off the wall. Measure your existing can before swapping; a shorter standard-stud socket will leave the conduit entries out of line if the new box is taller.
9) What's the difference between a ringless meter socket like this Milbank unit and a ring-type socket?
A ringless socket, which is what the U2986-XL is, uses a hinged or lift-off cover that the utility seals directly, with no separate sealing ring around the meter. Ring-type sockets use a locking ring clamped around the meter rim. Utilities specify one or the other, and they are not interchangeable, so confirm your utility accepts ringless before ordering.
10) I need to standardize 200A meter sockets across a multi-family property. What identifies this exact Milbank configuration?
Order by manufacturer part number U2986-XL. It's the 4 terminal ringless, small closing plate, side bussed tall stud version in Milbank's 4T20 product family. Specifying the full part number matters because the same 200A family includes short-stud, standard-stud, and bypass variants that are not drop-in equals.
11) Does this Milbank socket need a hub, and is one included?
It comes with a small closing plate covering the hub opening. If the service comes in overhead through the top, you'll remove that plate and install a hub sized to your conduit, purchased separately. Underground or side wireway feeds leave the closing plate in place.
