5th Jaw Assembly · 9 O'Clock Position · BC Meter Socket Accessory · Hydel SXK503BC
What this product is for
This accessory adds a 5th jaw in the 9 o'clock position for compatible Hydel meter sockets used in utility metering applications. It is intended for meter socket configurations where a 5-jaw arrangement is required rather than a standard 4-jaw setup.
Use for
Use for compatible Hydel 100A and 200A meter socket series where a 9 o'clock 5th jaw is specified. Distributor and catalogue references associate this style of accessory with Hydel EK, SLC, E, SE, SH and SD series meter sockets, and Hydel catalogues also reference SXK503 for 5th-jaw conversion on certain multi-position sockets.
Avoid for
Avoid ordering for non-compatible meter bases, sockets that already include a factory-installed 5th jaw, or applications where the utility requires a different jaw position or a utility-specific meter socket assembly. Do not assume interchangeability across brands.
Best for
Best for electricians, meter base installers and service contractors working on Hydel metering equipment in British Columbia where a field-added 5th jaw is required. It is also suitable when replacing a missing or damaged 9 o'clock jaw assembly on an approved compatible socket.
Installed in
Installed inside a compatible Hydel meter socket as a field accessory. Typical listings identify this accessory for 100A and 200A meter socket applications and conductor range references of 14 to 1/0 AWG appear on related SXK503 listings. Actual compatibility depends on the exact socket model and local utility approval.
Why this product exists
Some metering installations require a 5th jaw for the meter configuration specified by the serving utility or meter socket design. This accessory allows the installer to configure certain Hydel sockets for that requirement without replacing the complete meter base.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a standard 4-jaw meter socket, a 5th jaw assembly is a specific compliance and compatibility accessory rather than a general upgrade. The key buying detail is the required jaw position, compatible socket series, and province or utility requirement. For this SKU, the BC suffix indicates a British Columbia-specific variant, so confirm the exact Hydel socket and utility standard before purchase.
