Milbank U5929-XL-INS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Milbank U5929-XL meter socket work for a 100A single-phase residential service?
Yes, for a standard 120/240V single-phase service. The U5929-XL is rated 100 continuous amperes, 1 phase, 600VAC, 60 Hz, with one meter position and a 4-terminal (4 jaw) ring-type socket, which is the usual configuration for single-phase self-contained residential metering. It has no main breaker and no bypass, so overcurrent protection has to live downstream in the panel.
2) What wire size can I land in this Milbank 100A ring-type socket?
Both line and load terminals take 12 AWG through 1/0 AWG, using single mechanical lugs. That covers the usual copper or aluminum conductors for a 100A service. There's also a ground bar for the equipment grounding conductor.
3) Can I use this meter socket for an underground service lateral, or is it overhead only?
Either. Cable entry is rated for overhead or underground, so the same socket serves a weatherhead drop or a lateral from a pad or pedestal. It ships with a small closing plate at the hub opening, so if you're coming in overhead you'll need to pull that plate and fit the appropriate hub for your raceway size and your utility's requirement.
4) Is the Milbank U5929-XL rated for outdoor mounting on an exterior wall?
Yes. It's UL Listed and carries a Type 3R enclosure rating, which is the rain-tight rating used for outdoor service equipment. The enclosure is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish for corrosion resistance, and it's a surface-mount body, so it bolts flat to the wall rather than recessing into it.
5) What's the difference between the insulated neutral and insulated barrier versions of the U5929-XL?
Two orderable configurations: U5929-XL with an insulated neutral, and U5929-XL-INS with an insulated barrier. Everything else (100A, 4 terminal, small closing plate, Type 3R) is common to both. Which one you need is set by the serving utility's metering standard, so check their spec sheet before you order, since swapping after the meter is set means a second trip.
6) Does this socket have a meter bypass or a main breaker built in?
No to both. The U5929-XL is a plain socket-only can: no bypass provision and no main breaker (zero breaker spaces, zero receptacles). If your utility requires a lever or horn bypass for hot meter pulls, or you need a combination meter-main, this is not the right can. Service disconnect has to be a separate device downstream.
7) Can I use this 100A socket on a 208V or 480V three-phase service?
No. It's a 1 phase, 4-terminal socket, so it suits single-phase services only. The 600VAC rating is the insulation class, not a sign it handles three-phase. For a 208V or 480V three-phase service you need a 7-jaw or 8-jaw three-phase socket instead.
8) Ring-type versus ringless meter socket: which one do I order?
The utility decides, not the installer. The U5929-XL is ring-type, meaning the meter is held by a sealing ring around the cover rim. A ringless can uses a removable front cover instead and will not accept a sealing ring. They are not interchangeable in the field, so match whatever your serving utility's metering standard calls out before ordering.
9) Is this meter socket suitable for individual metering on a multi-unit property?
It can be, but it's a single-position can, one meter per unit. For a bank of tenant meters you'd be ganging several of these or specifying a multi-position metering stack instead. Each U5929-XL covers one 100A single-phase service with its own ground bar, so it works where units are metered individually at separate wall locations.
10) What insulation is used in the Milbank U5929-XL socket base?
Glass polyester, which is the standard thermoset base material for utility metering sockets and holds up to heat and tracking better than a plain thermoplastic base. Paired with the G90 galvanized, powder coated steel enclosure, it's built for permanent outdoor service.
