Milbank U4342-R-2/K6 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Milbank U4342-R meter socket include a main breaker?
No. The U4342-R is a meter socket only, with no main breaker and no receptacles. You'll need a separate service disconnect downstream to meet code. It carries one meter position with 7 jaws, rated 320 continuous amps at 60 Hz, three phase.
2) What wire size can I land in the Milbank 320A 7-terminal ringless socket?
Load side wire range is 6 AWG through 350 kcmil. The connector configuration varies by model: U4342-R-2/K6 has two double connectors rated 6-350 kcmil, while U4342-R-K7-K6 pairs a single connector rated 4 AWG to 600 kcmil with a double connector at 6-350 kcmil. Pick based on whether you're landing parallel conductors or one large feeder per phase.
3) Is a 7-terminal meter socket the right one for my service, or do I need 5-jaw?
Seven jaws is what utilities specify for 3-phase 4-wire metering, and that's what the U4342-R provides: 3 phase, 7 terminations, single meter position. If your service is single phase or 3-phase 3-wire, the utility will call for a different jaw count and this socket won't be accepted. Always confirm the jaw configuration against the serving utility's meter spec before ordering.
4) Can the Milbank U4342-R be mounted outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. Type 3R rated and UL Listed, so it's built for outdoor rain, sleet and ice exposure. The enclosure is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, and it's a surface mount unit, so it bolts flat to the wall or a meter pedestal backboard.
5) Which Milbank U4342-R version do I order if the utility requires a barrel lock?
Two of the four configurations include the barrel lock provision. U4342-R-K7-K6-BLG has the 7/8 inch barrel lock provision, and U4342-R-K7-K6-BLG-AEPU adds the bracket and is AEP approved. The plain U4342-R-2/K6 and U4342-R-K7-K6 do not include it, so if your utility mandates barrel lock sealing, order one of the BLG versions.
6) Is there an American Electric Power approved version of this Milbank meter socket?
Yes. U4342-R-K7-K6-BLG-AEPU is the AEP approved configuration, with the single 4-600 kcmil connector, double 6-350 kcmil connector, and 7/8 inch barrel lock with bracket provision. If you're working in AEP territory, that's the part number the utility will accept.
7) What are the dimensions of the Milbank U4342-R meter socket for wall layout?
The enclosure measures 38.75 inches by 17.75 inches by 6 inches deep. Allow for the hub opening at the top and conduit bends below when laying out the meter board.
8) Does this Milbank socket work for underground service, or only overhead?
Both. Cable entry is rated for overhead or underground feed. It comes with a large hub opening for overhead service masts; for an underground lateral you close off the hub and bring conduit in through the bottom.
9) What does the lever bypass on this meter socket do for maintenance?
The lever bypass lets a utility or qualified electrician shunt current around the meter so the meter can be pulled or changed without dropping the load. On a 320 amp commercial service feeding tenants or HVAC equipment, that's what keeps the building energized during a meter swap. Bypass operation is normally restricted to the serving utility.
10) What is ringless construction on a meter socket and does it change my install?
A ringless socket like the U4342-R uses a full-length cover that the meter sits behind, instead of a sealing ring around the meter rim. Utilities pick one style or the other, and they are not interchangeable in the field. Confirm your utility specifies ringless before ordering, because a ringless can will be rejected where a ring-type is required.
11) What insulating material separates the jaws in the Milbank 320A socket?
Glass polyester. That's the base material holding the 7 jaws, and it's what gives the socket its dielectric strength and heat resistance at sustained 320 amp loading.
