Milbank U9581-RXL-QG – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Milbank U9581 meter socket accept 4/0 aluminum service entrance cable?
Yes. The U9581 ringless socket has lay-in terminals rated 6 AWG through 350 kcmil on both the line and load sides, so 4/0 falls comfortably in range. Lay-in terminals mean you drop the conductor into the lug rather than threading it through, which saves time on stiff SE cable in a tight can.
2) Is the 5 jaw Milbank U9581 socket the right one for a standard 120/240V residential service?
Only if your utility calls for a 5 jaw socket. The U9581 is single phase, 200 amp continuous, 600 VAC, 60 Hz, one meter position, with five terminals. The fifth jaw is the neutral/current-transformer jaw many utilities require on network or 120/208 single phase services. A typical 120/240 residential service is often specified as a 4 jaw socket, so check your utility's approved meter socket list before you buy.
3) Does the Milbank U9581 come with a main breaker or disconnect?
No. The U9581 is a meter socket only, no main breaker and no receptacles. You will need a separate main breaker panel or a service disconnect downstream, and in most jurisdictions that disconnect has to be within sight or nipple-close to the socket. If you want the meter and main in one enclosure, look at a meter main combination instead.
4) What is the difference between the small hub and large hub versions of the Milbank U9581?
Hub opening size is the main ordering decision. U9581-RL-QG and the AEP-approved U9581-RL-QG-AEP come with a small hub opening. The U9581-RXL-QG and U9581-RXL-QG-AMS have a large hub opening that adapts down to a small closing plate and includes a center flange disconnect provision. Pick the large hub if you are running larger overhead conduit or need the flange for a through-the-back disconnect connection; pick the small hub for standard overhead or underground entry.
5) My utility is AEP or Ameren. Which Milbank U9581 part number do I order?
Milbank builds utility-specific versions of this socket. For AEP, order U9581-RL-QG-AEP, or U9581-RL-QG-BLG-AEP if the utility also wants the 7/8 inch barrel lock provision. For Ameren, order U9581-RXL-QG-AMS, which is the large hub version. Using the utility-approved suffix is what keeps the meter set from being rejected at inspection.
6) Can the meter be pulled on the Milbank U9581 without killing power to the building?
Yes, that is what the lever bypass is for. Throwing the lever shunts current around the meter so a utility tech or electrician can pull and replace the meter while the load stays energized. On tenant-occupied or light commercial buildings that avoids a scheduled outage for a routine meter swap.
7) Can the Milbank U9581 ringless socket be mounted outdoors on a wall?
It is built for it. The enclosure is UL Listed Type 3R, which is the outdoor rain-and-sleet rating for surface mounted service equipment, and the can is G90 galvanized steel with a powder coat finish for corrosion resistance. It surface mounts to the wall or a meter pole board; it is not a flush or recessed enclosure.
8) How much wall space do I need for the Milbank U9581 meter socket?
The can measures 19 inches high by 13 inches wide, so lay out at least that footprint plus working clearance and whatever height your utility specifies for the meter center. Add room below or above for the service conduit depending on whether you are coming in overhead or underground.
9) Can I use the Milbank U9581 for an underground service lateral, or is it overhead only?
Either one. Cable entry is rated for overhead or underground, so the same socket works for a weatherhead drop or a lateral coming up from a trench. On underground jobs you will typically use the bottom entry and the appropriate connector; overhead installs use the hub opening at the top, and hub size depends on which version you order.
10) Is a ringless meter socket the same as a ring-type socket, and can I swap one for the other?
They are not interchangeable at the cover. The U9581 is a ringless design, meaning the cover itself retains the meter instead of a separate sealing ring clamping around the meter flange. Utilities specify one style or the other for their territory, and the meter cover hardware is different. If your existing installation uses a sealing ring, you need a ring-type socket, not this one.
11) Does the Milbank U9581 socket have a provision for a utility barrel lock?
Yes. The socket includes a 7/8 inch knockout and an angle bracket for a barrel lock provision, which is how most utilities seal a ringless cover against unauthorized meter access. If your utility wants it factory-designated on the part number, the U9581-RL-QG-BLG-AEP carries the BLG barrel lock suffix.
12) What does quadplex ground mean on a Milbank meter socket?
Quadplex ground refers to the four-conductor grounding/neutral connector supplied in the socket, giving you multiple termination points for the grounded and grounding conductors in one lug assembly. On a 5 jaw single phase socket like the U9581 that matters because you are landing a service neutral, a grounding electrode conductor, and often a bonding jumper in the same can.
