Leviton Telcom 1R120-81 Meter Socket 1-phase Outdoor

Product Description

The Leviton Telcom 1R120-81 is a single-element meter socket designed for single-phase, 2-wire outdoor electrical service installations. Meter sockets serve as the connection point between the utility supply and the customer's electrical system, housing the revenue-grade watthour meter. This unit is sold individually and is installed by licensed electricians during new construction, service upgrades, or meter base replacements on residential or light commercial properties.

This meter socket is suited for outdoor single-phase service applications. Its single-element, 2-wire configuration is typical of standard residential utility metering setups where a straightforward kilowatt-hour measurement is required. Electricians working on service entrance equipment will find this socket applicable to standard overhead or underground utility service configurations.

Key Features

• Single-element metering configuration for single-phase 2-wire service
• Rated for outdoor installation with weathering-resistant design
• Sold as an individual unit (each)
• Compatible with standard round-base watthour meters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation meter socket for single-phase 2-wire outdoor electrical service entrances.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and local utility requirements. De-energize the service entrance and coordinate with the utility provider before removing or installing a meter base, as the line-side conductors may remain live until the utility pulls the meter. Verify that conductor sizing, grounding, and bonding meet local code requirements before closing the enclosure.
