Milbank U5885-X-KK-K2-ALT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Milbank U5885-X meter socket fit a 240V single-phase residential service?
Yes. The U5885-X is rated up to 240 volts AC, single phase, 60 Hz, with 4 terminal (4 jaw) meter positions, which is the standard single-phase 3-wire residential and light commercial service arrangement. It carries 200 continuous amperes per position. If your service is 3-phase or needs 7-jaw sockets, this is the wrong unit.
2) How much wall space do I need for a 5-position Milbank ringless meter socket?
Plan for a surface-mounted enclosure measuring 30 x 51.063 x 5.125 inches. It is a wide, shallow unit, so the limiting factor on most jobs is horizontal run along the wall rather than depth. Mounting is surface mount, so you need solid backing across that width, not a recessed pocket.
3) Does the Milbank U5885-X come with main breakers, or do I buy those separately?
It ships with breaker provision only. The enclosure is prepped to accept main breakers for the five positions, but the breakers themselves are a separate purchase. Size and order them to match the service and the utility's requirements before the install day.
4) Can this 5-gang meter socket be installed outdoors on an apartment building?
Yes. The enclosure is UL Listed and Type 3R rated, which covers outdoor exposure to rain, sleet and ice. Construction is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, so it holds up on an exterior wall. Type 3R is not dust- or washdown-tight, so it is not the choice for an interior wet-process or heavy dust area.
5) Can I feed the Milbank U5885-X from an underground lateral, or is it overhead only?
Either. Cable entry is rated for overhead or underground, and the unit comes with a large closing plate on the hub opening, so you fit the hub or conduit fitting your feed calls for. For an overhead drop you remove the closing plate and install a hub; for an underground lateral you bring the conduit in and leave the top plate closed.
6) What do the suffixes on Milbank U5885-X part numbers mean when I order?
The suffixes are the option you pick. U5885-X is the base unit. -KK adds horn bypass. -KK-BL is horn bypass plus a 9/16 inch barrel lock provision. -KK-K1 is horn bypass with a single connector, and -KK-K1-PED adds pedestal mount. -KK-K2-ALT is horn bypass with double connector, Alliant Energy approved. -KK-PED-CECHA is horn bypass on a pedestal, CECHA approved. Your serving utility usually dictates which one is accepted, so confirm bypass and connector style with them before you order.
7) Do I need a wall for the Milbank U5885-X, or can it go on a pedestal in an open area?
Both are available. The standard configurations are surface mount for wall installation. If there is no suitable structure, order a pedestal-mount version: U5885-X-KK-K1-PED (horn bypass, single connector) or U5885-X-KK-PED-CECHA (horn bypass, CECHA approved). Pedestal mount is the usual answer for mobile home parks and detached multi-unit sites.
8) Why choose a ringless meter socket instead of a ring-type socket?
Ringless means the cover itself secures the meter, held by a sealed latch rather than a separate sealing ring. Most utilities specify one or the other and will not accept the wrong style, so the choice is made by your serving utility, not by preference. The U5885-X is ringless with 4 terminal jaws and a large closing plate, and several ordering options are utility-approved variants (for example Alliant Energy and CECHA versions).
9) Is there a grounding provision in the Milbank 5-position meter socket, or do I add a ground bar?
A ground lug is provided in the enclosure for the equipment ground, so no separate kit is needed for that connection. If your installation requires a full neutral/ground bar assembly beyond the single lug, verify against the local inspector's requirement for service equipment grounding.
10) How do I keep the utility meter enclosure locked and sealed on this unit?
Order the barrel lock version, U5885-X-KK-BL, which includes a 9/16 inch knockout and angle bracket for a barrel lock provision. That is the configuration most utilities want where the enclosure has to be locked rather than just sealed. The base U5885-X does not include the barrel lock prep.
11) Can I use the Milbank U5885-X to meter five tenants in a strip center?
That is what it is built for. Five meter positions and five branch circuits in one enclosure, each at 200 continuous amperes, 240V single phase, with breaker provision for the tenant mains. It is a common fit for apartment buildings, condos, strip centers and mixed-use. There are no convenience receptacles in the enclosure, so if you need a house receptacle, that gets provided separately.
