2 Position Meter Socket · 200A Main 200A Per Position · Overhead or Underground Left Side Entry BC Hydro Accepted · Hydel HC22R-BC
Hydel HC22R-BC is a 2-gang meter socket with 200A per position, 600V rating, 4 jaws, and combination overhead/underground service entry. Commonly used for duplex and other two-meter service applications where a utility-approved multi-position meter base is required in British Columbia.
What this product is for
The Hydel HC22R-BC is a duplex meter base for two-position residential or light commercial metering. It provides 200A per position in a factory-bussed assembly for overhead or underground service layouts, subject to utility approval and local code requirements.
Use for
- Two-meter service entrances
- Duplex residential metering
- Light commercial tenant metering where a 2-position self-contained meter socket is specified
- British Columbia utility-specific applications where this style of meter base is accepted
Avoid for
- Single-meter installations
- Applications requiring more than two meter positions
- Services that require CT metering instead of self-contained metering
- Projects where the serving utility requires a different jaw count, enclosure type, or service configuration
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors sourcing a Canadian-market 2-gang meter base for 120/240V-style self-contained metering layouts, especially where overhead/underground flexibility matters at rough-in and service planning stages.
Installed in
Typically installed on exterior service walls in residential duplexes, secondary suites, and small multi-tenant buildings. Final installation method, mounting height, sealing, bonding, and conductor termination must follow the Canadian Electrical Code, local inspection authority requirements, and the serving utility standard.
Why this product exists
This meter base simplifies two-position service metering by combining two 200A meter positions in one enclosure. The combination overhead/underground format helps when service routing may vary by site, civil layout, or utility service design.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a single-position meter socket, this unit supports two separate meter positions in one assembly. Compared with larger 3-gang or 4-gang meter bases, it is better suited to duplex and smaller multi-tenant projects. Compared with CT metering equipment, this is intended for self-contained metering applications within the utility's accepted service range. Alternate to Microlectric Model BDC2-VAILBC
Typical buying guidance: a 2-position 200A-per-position meter base is commonly selected when each occupancy requires its own meter and service disconnect arrangement is planned separately. Actual suitability depends on utility standards, service size, conductor layout, and local electrical code.
