Milbank U9980-DL-TG-KK-AEP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between a ringless meter socket and a ring-type socket, and which one does my utility want?
The Milbank U9000-U9900 sockets are all ringless, meaning the cover slides over the socket and is secured without a sealing ring around the meter. Ring-type sockets use a separate locking ring to hold the meter in place. The utility serving the address dictates which style is accepted, so the ringless style is the one to order when the utility spec sheet calls for ringless. Milbank builds these with a 7/16 inch knockout for a barrel lock, which is the tamper-seal method utilities normally pair with a ringless cover.
2) Can a Milbank U9000 series meter socket be mounted outdoors on an exterior wall?
Yes. These sockets carry a Type 3R enclosure rating, which is the outdoor rating for protection against rain, sleet and ice formation. The shell is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, which is what gives it corrosion resistance on an exposed wall. Type 3R is not a washdown or dust-tight rating, so it is meant for normal outdoor service entrance use, not for hose-down or heavy dust environments.
3) How do I know whether I need a 4 terminal, 5 terminal, or 7 terminal meter socket?
Terminal count follows the service being metered. Milbank U9000-U9900 sockets come in 4 terminal versions such as the U9090-O (200A, plain top) and U9352-RL (150A, 2 position), 5 terminal versions such as the U9101-RL-TG-KK and U9319-XL, and 7 terminal versions such as the U9321-RRL and U9761-RRL. Single phase residential service normally uses the 4 terminal socket; 5 and 7 terminal sockets are used where the utility's metering form requires the extra jaws, typically network or three phase service. The utility's approved meter list is what settles it.
4) What is the difference between horn bypass and lever bypass on a Milbank meter socket?
Both let the utility keep power on while the meter is pulled, but they work differently. A horn bypass uses removable jumpers across horn terminals; the U9101-RL-TG-KK and U9158-XL-KK-IL are horn bypass units. A lever bypass uses a built-in lever the meter reader throws to close the bypass, which is faster and does not require loose parts; the U9108-O-CECHA, U9319-XL and U9761-RRL are lever bypass. Some sockets have no bypass at all, such as the U9321-RRL and U9707-RRL, and on those the service has to be killed to pull the meter. Utilities usually specify which bypass type they will accept.
5) Does a Milbank U9000 meter socket include a main breaker or receptacle?
No. These are meter sockets only, with zero main breakers and zero receptacles. The socket meters the service and nothing more, so the overcurrent protection has to come from a separate main breaker panel or disconnect downstream. If you need metering and main disconnect in one can, you want a meter main combination, not a U9000 series socket.
6) Which Milbank ringless socket do I order for an overhead service versus an underground lateral?
The top configuration is what decides it. A plain top unit like the U9090-O or U9108-O-CECHA has no hub and is normally used where the conduit enters elsewhere or a hub is added. Hub-open versions accept a hub for a raintight overhead entry: the U9101-RL-TG-KK and U9352-RL are small hub open, the U9321-RRL, U9707-RRL and U9761-RRL are large hub open that adapt down to small hub open, and the U9980-DL-TG-KK-AEP comes with a 2 inch hub. Closing plate units like the U9158-XL-KK-IL and U9319-XL have the top closed off, which suits an underground lateral entering the bottom.
7) My utility is AEP and requires an approved socket. Which Milbank model is on their list?
The U9980-DL-TG-KK-AEP is the AEP approved build: 4 terminal, ringless, 2 inch hub, triplex ground and horn bypass. There is also a CECHA approved unit, the U9108-O-CECHA, which is 5 terminal, ringless, plain top, lever bypass and pedestal mount. Utility approval suffixes matter because the meter department can reject a socket that is not on their accepted list, even when the electrical specs match.
8) Which Milbank ringless socket works for a pedestal installation instead of wall mounting?
The U9108-O-CECHA is the pedestal configuration in the U9000-U9900 range, a 5 terminal ringless socket with a plain top and lever bypass. The rest of the range is built for standard surface mounting. If the meter is going on a post or stand out in a yard or a mobile home lot rather than a building wall, the pedestal unit is the one that fits the application.
9) What amperage ratings do the Milbank U9000 series ringless sockets come in?
Amperage varies by model. The U9090-O is a 200A 4 terminal socket, the U9352-RL is 150A, and the U9321-RRL is a 125A 7 terminal unit. Match the socket rating to the service size on the drawing, since a socket rated below the service ampacity will not pass inspection. All of them run at 60 hertz.
10) What does triplex ground mean on the Milbank U9101 and U9980 sockets?
Triplex ground refers to a ground connection sized and configured for triplex service conductors, the twisted overhead drop used on most residential services. The U9101-RL-TG-KK and U9980-DL-TG-KK-AEP both carry the triplex ground option along with horn bypass. If the service drop is triplex and the utility wants the neutral bonded at the socket, those are the builds that already have the provision rather than requiring a field-added lug.
11) Can I padlock a Milbank ringless meter socket cover for tamper protection?
These sockets are punched with a 7/16 inch knockout that takes a utility barrel lock. The U9158-XL-KK-IL is built with 7/16 inch knockouts and lock provision called out specifically. Barrel locks are the standard utility seal on ringless covers because there is no sealing ring to wire-seal; the lock body drops into the knockout and cannot be removed without the utility's key.
12) Will a galvanized steel meter socket hold up near the coast or in a wet climate?
The U9000-U9900 shells are G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish over the top, which is a two-layer corrosion defense: the zinc coating protects the steel and the powder coat protects the zinc. Paired with the Type 3R outdoor rating, that is built for exposed wall mounting in rain and freeze conditions. In heavy salt exposure many specs call for an aluminum enclosure instead, so check what the local utility and the job spec require before committing to steel.
