Meter Socket · 4 Gang 400A Main, 200A per Position · Right-Hand Underground Entry · Hydel HC44RH-BC
What this product is for
The Hydel HC44RH-BC is a 4-gang multi-position meter socket for 120/240V single-phase service layouts that require a 400A main with four 200A meter positions. It is commonly selected for grouped residential services, small multi-unit buildings, and similar service entrance applications in British Columbia.
Use for
Use where a project calls for four meter positions in one enclosure, 200A per tenant or suite position, and a right-hand underground service entry arrangement. This style is commonly used to reduce wall space compared with installing multiple separate meter sockets.
Avoid for
Avoid using this meter socket where the utility requires a different approved model, overhead-only entry, CT metering, bypass features not listed for this unit, or a different service configuration. Do not assume interchangeability with non-BC variants or similarly named Hydel assemblies.
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors working on British Columbia service upgrades, new multi-unit residential builds, and grouped metering installations where four 200A positions are needed in one meter bank.
Installed in
Typically installed outdoors at service entrances on multi-unit residential and light commercial buildings, subject to utility metering standards, mounting requirements, and service layout. Final placement, working clearance, and bonding details depend on the installation design and local inspection requirements.
Why this product exists
This meter socket combines four meter positions into one factory assembly so contractors can simplify grouped metering layouts and coordinate a 400A main service with 200A per position distribution. For many projects, that helps streamline service equipment selection and wall layout compared with separate individual bases.
Compared with similar products
Compared with smaller 2-gang or 3-gang meter banks, this 4-gang unit supports more tenant or suite metering in one enclosure. Compared with CT-rated metering equipment, this style is intended for direct metering applications within its listed service arrangement. As a rule of thumb, grouped meter banks are commonly chosen when service consolidation and exterior wall space matter, but actual utility acceptance depends on the exact service design and local authority requirements.
Actual suitability depends on service size, fault requirements, utility standards, enclosure location, and local electrical code.
