Search for "Meter Mounting Equipment" see PJSR.GuideInfo http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/template/LISEXT/1FRAME/ccnsrch.html I found the answer to my question, just as I suspected! Wire connectors in Listed meter mounting equipment are intended to accommodate one conductor only unless use with more than one conductor is clearly indicated on the wiring diagram or other readily visible location.

I still don't see how you can claim a violation without removing the cover.

This, odly enough, is a photo of the service on my duplex. It is a typical example of an earlier Reno service.
While today things are done differently, I can't believe that the entire trade, in the whole town, once "did it wrong." I suspect that the rules have changed.
If nothing else, much larger wires are now used, and the 60 amp meter sockets shown are not allowed. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/MT/RSJ1.jpg)

The second meter is/was for the water heater.....a leftover from the days when the "all electric" house was encouraged, and water heaters were charged a different rate.
The different rate has since left us, and these second meters are disappearing as services are upgraded (usually at the insurance company's request).
The new service would be done the way Joe's artwork shows.
