Eaton put AFCIs into the code.

Use Milbank. Its exclusive in the northeast.

Milbank is common in the Midwest??

No clue, but up north where the weather is below freezing in the winter and sweltering in the summer they hold up very well. Better than Square D which rusts only after a few years.


I would imagine they would work out mid west, just ask the poco first.

Yeah, I've never seen any other brand as prevalent as Milbank, other than the older sockets which were Anchor (used to be made in New Hampshire.)

Probably because they are the best, at least not rusting like the others.

However, avoid anyone on of them that use a Zinsco flavored breaker, for obvious reasons.

Is Eaton the next FPE?:001_huh:

No, that would be GE. :laughing:

Milbank is not exclusive to the Northeast.

Plus I have not had a fire since the AFCI's came out.

My point was 9 out of 10 meter sockets in the northeast are Milbank, just happens to be the preferred brand. No issues so far, knock on wood.

And the govt collects taxes through the IRS, your point?

CMP is a marketing platform. Have you seen the most recent code changes?
