Product Brochure

Welcome to the Talon utility products catalog
and specification guide. This publication is meant to serve
as a guide to the various Talon meter socket product
families while providing you with a listing of our most
common catalog numbers for each family. Only a small
percentage of our total offering is listed in this catalog so
if you don’t see what you are looking for please keep in
mind that all of our sockets can be customized to fit your
specific needs.
The pages of this catalog will guide you in creating your
own catalog number if there isn’t one listed to fit your
needs. If you need help our network of utility distribution
and sales team will be happy to assist you in determining
the right socket for you. We’ve made every effort to make
this catalog easy to use and understand. A definition for the
headings on the catalog charts is listed to the right. This will
assist you in the selection of your meter socket.
Talon has been the standard for quality and
innovation for meter mounting equipment for over half a
century. The heart of our offering continues to be the HQ
lever bypass socket. The basic design of this socket has not
changed since its original inception in 1956 making this a
solid, time-proven design. We continue to offer the HQ at a
competitive price even when faced with lower cost and
lower quality competition. The bypass blade for every HQ is
rated for 320 amps making every one of our sockets “Heavy
Duty”. Our K base products continue to offer the same
dependability and cost advantages for “extended range”
metering. The residential socket line continues to grow daily
as we continuously add or update our products for an
ever-changing market.
We hope you find this catalog useful and easy to use.
Thank you for your continued support.
