Meter Socket · 2 Gang 400 Amp Main 200 Amp Per Position Overhead or Underground With Right Hand Pull Section · Hydel HC42RH-BC
SKU: HC42RH-BC
BC Hydro configuration multi-position meter socket with 400A mains and two 200A, 600V meter positions. Right-hand entry design for overhead or underground service where a 2-gang meter base with factory-bussed mains is required.
What this product is for
The Hydel HC42RH-BC is a 2-gang meter socket for British Columbia service applications requiring a 400A main with two 200A meter positions. It is used where two separately metered 200A services are needed in one enclosure, typically in residential duplex, secondary suite, or light commercial service layouts subject to local utility approval.
Use for
- BC Hydro-approved style installations where the -BC configuration is specified
- Two 200A tenant or service positions in one meter base
- Overhead or underground service entry applications
- Projects requiring right-hand entry and a factory-bussed 400A main section
Avoid for
- Single-meter services that do not require a 2-gang assembly
- Applications requiring bypass, CT metering, or breaker provisions not listed for this model
- Installations outside the serving utility's approved meter socket requirements
Best for
Electricians and contractors sourcing a Canadian-made multi-position meter socket for BC projects where two 200A services must be grouped in one enclosure. It suits jobs where right-hand conductor entry and overhead/underground flexibility matter at rough-in.
Installed in
Typically installed on exterior building walls in residential and light commercial service entrances. Commonly used in duplex and multi-occupancy layouts where two meter positions are required in a CSA Type 3R weatherproof enclosure.
Why this product exists
This meter socket combines two 200A meter positions with a 400A factory-bussed main section to simplify grouped service metering. Compared with separate meter bases, it can reduce wall space, streamline service layout, and align with utility-driven meter socket configurations for British Columbia.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a standard HC42R, the RH suffix indicates right-hand entry. Compared with non-BC variants, the -BC suffix indicates a British Columbia utility configuration. Compared with single-position meter sockets, this 2-gang unit supports two 200A positions from one 400A main assembly.
Typical buying guidance: a 2-gang 400A main meter socket is commonly selected when two 200A services are required in one grouped service location. Actual suitability depends on utility standards, service design, conductor sizing, and local electrical code.
