The meter pedestal is a vandal and weather resistant enclosure formed entirely from 16-gauge stainless steel with a #4 brushed finish. The meter section is located at the top front of the pedestal and houses a EUSERC approved meter socket and test blocks. The meter section uses a side swing style door that opens 180 degrees to provide full access to the meter socket and test blocks. The top is supported by 2 heavy-duty stainless steel hinges with 3/8 inch “lift off” style pins that allow the top to be completely removed if needed. A replaceable 3/16 inch-thick Lexan viewing window is provided for meter reading. The meter section accepts a ring style meter and face to be attached to the socket. The meter face may be removed without disconnecting the meter bulb. The customer section is located on the lower front of the pedestal. This section is outfitted with a continuously welded and hemmed stainless steel door that closes using a T handle latching system. The door includes a continuous piano hinge that is installed using carriage bolts. The compartment houses two load centers with over current protective devices. The utility landing section is located on the rear side with a removable panel for full access to the landing lugs. The landing lugs are made of aluminum using hexagon screws for tightening. The internal housing is fitted with a dead front panel so that only the breaker switches are exposed. All doors are equipped with watershed drainage channels and provisions for a padlock, ensuring a watertight and vandal resistant design. This enclosure is NEMA 3R rated, UL508A listed and complies with EUSERC electrical standards and current NEC codes.
