Milbank U5905-X-KK-K1-PED – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many apartments can one Milbank U5905-X meter socket serve, and what amperage does each position get?
The U5905-X is a 5-position ringless meter socket rated 100 continuous amperes at up to 240 volts AC, 60 Hz, with 5 branch circuits behind it. One enclosure meters five tenants, so a five-unit building or a five-unit stack in a larger building is handled by a single surface-mounted unit. Note this is a breaker provision unit, meaning the main breaker position is provided but the breaker itself is a separate order.
2) Does the Milbank U5905-X come with main breakers, or do I have to order those separately?
Breakers are not included. The U5905-X is built with main breaker provision, which means the mounting position and bus connection are there and you supply the breaker. Budget for five branch breakers plus whatever the utility requires on the line side when you price the job.
3) Can the Milbank U5905-X be fed from an overhead service drop as well as an underground lateral?
Both. The U5905-X accepts overhead or underground cable entry, and it ships with a large hub closing plate so the top can be closed off when you are feeding from below, or opened for a hub when the service comes down from a weatherhead. That is what makes it usable on a retrofit where you do not yet know which way the utility will bring the service.
4) What line side wire can I land in a Milbank U5905-X meter socket?
The line side lugs take 6 AWG through 350 kcmil, which covers everything from a small copper service up to a full 350 aluminum lateral. Equipment grounding is a ground lug, and the internal insulation is glass polyester. If your service conductors are parallel sets or larger than 350 kcmil, this is the wrong socket and you want a larger Milbank U-series enclosure.
5) Is the Milbank U5905-X 4 jaw socket right for my utility, or do I need a 5 jaw or 7 jaw?
Four terminal, which is the single phase three wire 120/240V network configuration most residential and small commercial utilities specify. If your serving utility requires a 5 jaw socket (single phase with a separate neutral terminal for a network service) or a 7 jaw for three phase, the U5905-X will not pass inspection. Confirm the jaw count on the utility's approved meter equipment list before you order a five-gang unit.
6) Which Milbank U5905 version do I order for a ComEd or Chicago Housing Authority job?
Ask for the U5905-X-KK-PED-CECHA. That is the horn bypass, pedestal mount build carrying the Commonwealth Edison / Chicago Housing Authority approval. The plain U5905-X and the other variants share the same 5-position 100A 240V core but are not the CECHA-designated build, so for a Chicago job specify the CECHA part number outright rather than the base number.
7) What does the KK suffix mean on a Milbank U5905-X-KK meter socket?
KK is the horn bypass option. A horn bypass lets the utility pull or set a meter under load without dropping power to the tenants behind it, which is why many utilities require it on multi-gang equipment. The U5905-X-KK is the horn bypass version of the standard 5-position socket, and KK also carries through on the barrel lock and pedestal builds (U5905-X-KK-BL, U5905-X-KK-K1-PED, U5905-X-KK-PED-CECHA). The base U5905-X has no bypass.
8) Can a Milbank U5905-X meter socket be installed outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes, it is built for it. The enclosure is UL Listed and Type 3R rated, so it sheds rain, sleet, and ice, and the body is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish for corrosion resistance. Type 3R is an outdoor rating, not a washdown or dust-tight one, so it is fine on a building exterior or a pedestal but is not the enclosure for a car wash bay or a coastal splash zone.
9) My utility requires a barrel lock on the meter socket. Which Milbank U5905 has that provision?
Order the U5905-X-KK-BL. It is the horn bypass build with a 9/16 inch knockout and angle bracket for a barrel lock provision, which is what utilities that seal their equipment with barrel locks are asking for. Retrofitting a barrel lock provision into a socket that does not have the knockout and bracket is not a field modification you want to make on utility-owned equipment, so specify the BL up front.
10) Does the Milbank U5905-X ringless socket need a meter ring, and how does that change the install?
No ring. A ringless socket uses a hinged or lift-off cover that closes over the meter and is sealed by the utility, rather than a separate sealing ring clamped around the meter flange. Practically, that means the utility seals the cover instead of the ring, and the U5905-X will not accept ringed-style meter equipment. Most utilities specify one or the other, so match whichever the serving utility uses on the rest of the block.
11) Is a 100A 5-gang meter stack enough for five apartments, or should I be looking at 125A or 200A per unit?
The U5905-X is rated 100 continuous amperes, and with 5 branch circuit positions it is sized for five units on modest loads: gas heat and gas water heating, standard ranges, window or small split cooling. Once units go all-electric, with electric heat, heat pump water heaters, or an EV charger per tenant, a 100A socket runs out of headroom and you should be sizing a higher-amperage stack instead. Do the load calc per unit before you commit, because this is not a device you can uprate in the field.
12) Does the Milbank U5905-X meter socket include tenant receptacles or a house panel?
Zero receptacles. The U5905-X is metering and main breaker provision only, with 5 meter positions and 5 branch circuits out. If the job needs a house meter, a landlord panel, or a convenience outlet at the service, those are separate equipment and have to be ordered and mounted on their own.
