Milbank U7040-XL-QG-KK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Milbank U7040-XL meter socket handle a 200 amp residential service upgrade?
Yes. The U7040-XL is rated 200 continuous amperes, single phase, 60 Hertz, with one meter position. It is a socket only, no main breaker and no branch circuits, so you still need a separate service disconnect or panel downstream. Wire range is 6 AWG through 350 kcmil on both the line and load sides, which covers the usual 4/0 aluminum or 2/0 copper 200 amp service conductors.
2) What does horn bypass mean on a Milbank meter socket, and do I need it?
Horn bypass lets the utility carry service current around the meter while the meter is pulled, so power stays on during a meter change or test. Many utilities require it on 200 amp residential and light commercial sockets; some accept a non-bypass socket. The U7040-XL is offered both ways, with horn bypass on the KK options (for example U7040-XL-TG-KK) and without it on plain triplex ground options like U7040-XL-TG. Your serving utility's meter specification decides which one you order, not the installer.
3) Can I mount a U7040-XL meter socket outdoors on the side of a building?
That is what it is built for. The enclosure is UL Listed and Type 3R rated, which covers rain, sleet and ice on an outdoor wall, and it is a surface mount unit. Construction is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish and glass polyester insulation behind the terminals. Type 3R is not a washdown or submersion rating, so keep it out of direct hose spray locations.
4) Does the U7040-XL work for underground service, or only overhead?
Both. Cable entry is overhead or underground, and the unit ships with a small closing plate over the hub opening. For an overhead drop you remove the closing plate and fit the meter hub your utility requires in its place; for an underground lateral you leave the closing plate in and bring conductors in through the bottom. The hub itself is a separate item, so order it with the socket if you are feeding from a weatherhead.
5) Do I need a 5th terminal meter socket, and does Milbank make the U7040-XL that way?
A fifth terminal is used where the utility meters with a current transformer reference or requires a neutral sensing terminal, and it is strictly a utility requirement. Four terminal and five terminal versions both exist in the U7040-XL line: U7040-XL-TG-5T is the five terminal triplex ground version, while U7040-XL-TG is four terminal. Check the meter spec sheet for your serving utility before ordering, because a four terminal socket will not pass inspection where five is required.
6) Can I use one Milbank U7040-XL for a duplex or a small apartment building with two meters?
No. The U7040-XL carries one meter position, so it serves a single metered service. A duplex or multi-unit building with separately billed tenants needs a multi-position socket or a metering pack sized to the unit count. Use the U7040-XL where each service gets its own socket, such as detached homes, individual commercial tenant services, or a single house meter.
7) How much wall space does the Milbank U7040-XL meter socket take up?
The socket measures 4.125L x 11W x 14.563H inches. That 4.125 inch depth off the wall is the number that usually matters, since it decides clearance behind a downspout, gutter, or meter pedestal trim. Lay a 11 by 14.563 inch footprint on the wall and check that the meter face ends up in the utility's required height window.
8) What is the difference between triplex ground and quadplex ground on the Milbank U7040-XL?
It is about how many service conductors land at the socket. Triplex ground options (U7040-XL-TG family) suit the usual overhead triplex drop, two hots and a bare neutral. The quadplex ground option, U7040-XL-QG-KK, is set up for a four conductor service. Match the option to what the utility is actually bringing to the building.
9) How does the utility lock or seal a Milbank ringless meter socket?
Sealing depends on the version. The base socket has a 7/16 inch knockout for a barrel lock provision, which is what most utilities use to padlock the cover. If your utility wants a hasp instead, order U7040-XL-TG-HSP with a stainless steel hasp. Versions with the IL suffix, such as U7040-XL-TG-IL, come with the 7/16 inch knockout lock provision already set up. Being ringless, there is no sealing ring at the meter, the cover itself is what gets locked.
10) Are the utility-specific Milbank sockets like the SMECO and Alliant Energy versions different from the standard one?
They are the same 200 amp ringless body built to a named utility's meter specification. U7040-XL-KK-SMECO is the Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative version, U7040-XL-TG-KK-ALT is built for Alliant Energy, and U7040-XL-TG-OS-COL is the City of Lakeland version with an out-of-service device. If you are working in one of those territories, order that version. Outside them, the generic triplex ground or horn bypass versions are what you want, since a utility-coded socket can be rejected by a different utility.
11) What kind of lugs does the Milbank U7040-XL use, and will they take aluminum service entrance cable?
Lay in terminals, which means you drop the conductor into the jaw and torque it down rather than threading it through a closed lug. That saves time on a stiff 4/0 service cable. The range is 6 AWG to 350 kcmil on both line and load sides, so standard aluminum or copper service entrance conductors for a 200 amp service land without an adapter.
12) Is a ringless meter socket better than a ring type for my service, or does it matter?
It is not a quality difference, it is a utility preference. A ringless socket uses a cover that fully encloses the meter and locks or seals at the cover, with no separate sealing ring around the meter rim. Ring type uses that band. Utilities specify one or the other in their meter standards, and inspectors enforce it. The U7040-XL is ringless, 200 amp, single phase, so confirm your utility accepts ringless before ordering.
