Milbank U8949-RL-TG-KK-CECHA – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Milbank U8949-RL-TG-KK-CECHA meter socket pass ComEd inspection on a Chicago Housing Authority job?
That is exactly what the CECHA suffix on the U8949-RL-TG-KK-CECHA covers. It is built to Commonwealth Edison Chicago Housing Authority specifications, and it is UL Listed with a Type 3R enclosure rating for outdoor service. If your utility is not ComEd, check your own utility's approved meter socket list before ordering, because approval is granted per utility.
2) Is this Milbank 200A ringless socket right for an overhead service drop or an underground lateral?
Overhead. The U8949-RL-TG-KK-CECHA is configured for overhead cable entry and comes with a small hub opening at the top for the service mast fitting. For an underground lateral you want a socket configured for bottom feed instead, since this one's hub arrangement and cable entry are set up for the drop coming in overhead.
3) Does this 200 amp Milbank meter socket include a main breaker or disconnect?
No. The U8949-RL-TG-KK-CECHA is a socket only, with no main breaker and no receptacles in the enclosure. It is a single meter position, so you are metering one service and feeding a separate panel or disconnect downstream. If you need meter and main in one can, you want a meter main combination unit instead.
4) Will 4/0 aluminum SER or 350 kcmil copper land in the lugs of this Milbank socket?
Yes on both counts. Line and load terminals each take 6 AWG through 350 kcmil, so a 4/0 aluminum service conductor and a 350 kcmil copper run both fall inside the range. The terminals are lay-in type, which means you drop the conductor into the jaw and torque it down rather than threading it through a closed lug, and that saves real time on a 350 kcmil pull.
5) What does horn bypass do, and can the power stay on while the meter is pulled?
Horn bypass is what lets it. The U8949-RL-TG-KK-CECHA has a horn bypass provision, so a lineman can bridge line to load inside the socket and keep the service energized while the meter comes out for change or test. On a multi-unit building that is the difference between a meter swap nobody notices and a tenant outage. Bypass operation is utility work, not a job for the installing contractor.
6) What is a ringless meter socket and do I need a sealing ring with it?
A ringless socket has no locking ring around the meter. The cover itself holds the meter in place and the utility seals the cover, so there is no separate ring to order or lose. The U8949-RL-TG-KK-CECHA is the ringless style. Utilities specify one or the other, not both, so if ComEd or your local utility calls for a ring type socket, this is not the one for that opening.
7) What clearance do I need to lay out this Milbank meter socket on a wall?
Plan for a footprint of 4.12 long by 8 wide by 15.5 high inches. It is surface mounted, so the full 15.5 inch height sits on the face of the wall and the can projects 4.12 inches off it. Set the height so the meter center lands where your utility requires it, then confirm the mast entry lines up with the hub opening at the top.
8) Will a Milbank ringless socket hold up outdoors on an exterior wall in a Chicago winter?
The enclosure is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish and carries a Type 3R rating, which is the outdoor rain-tight classification meter sockets are normally specified to. Internally the jaws sit on glass polyester insulation. That combination is what you want for an unprotected exterior wall with freeze-thaw and road salt in the air.
9) What does the triplex ground option on this Milbank socket mean for my grounding electrode conductor?
Triplex ground means the socket comes with a factory-installed triplex ground connector, so there is a provision inside the can to land the grounding electrode conductor without adding a separate lug kit. That is the TG in U8949-RL-TG-KK-CECHA. If your spec calls for a different ground arrangement, the suffix is what changes, not the socket body.
10) Can I use one of these for each unit on a small multi-family building?
You can, and it is a common approach. The U8949-RL-TG-KK-CECHA is a single position socket, so a four unit building takes four of them plus whatever house meter the utility requires. Where you have several meters on one wall, a multi-position meter stack is usually the cleaner install and the utility may prefer it. For scattered service points or a retrofit where you are replacing one can at a time, individual 200 amp sockets are the right call.
11) What exact part number do I put on the purchase order for the CECHA approved Milbank 200A socket?
Order Milbank U8949-RL-TG-KK-CECHA. Every element of the configuration is baked into that number: ringless, triplex ground, small hub opening, horn bypass, and the CECHA approval. Dropping any suffix gets you a different socket, and on a ComEd job the CECHA suffix is the part the inspector cares about.
12) Is the 200 amp rating on this Milbank socket continuous or intermittent?
200 continuous amperes. That is the rating you size against for a 200 amp service, not a short-duration peak figure, so it pairs with a 200 amp service entrance and a 200 amp main downstream without derating the socket itself.
