ABB TQLFP1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the ABB FP1 filler plate actually do on a panelboard?
The FP1 is a blank cover for unused space on the front of a panelboard or enclosure. Instead of leaving an open slot where no breaker is installed, you drop the filler plate in so the panel front reads as finished and the opening is blocked off. It is a front accessory only, not a breaker or a breaker-mounting part.
2) What size opening does the ABB FP1 filler plate cover?
It is a 1 inch trade size plate, sized for a standard single panelboard front opening. If you have a wider gap or a multi-pole space to close off, you use more than one plate or a wider filler, not this one.
3) Is the ABB FP1 the right part for a panel that isn't ABB?
The FP1 is an ABB panelboard accessory built to fit standard ABB panel fronts, and the safest use is on ABB panelboards and load centers where fit and finish match the rest of the assembly. For an Eaton panel, the Eaton GB/GHB/GHBS single pole panel mount filler plate is the brand-matched equivalent.
4) I pulled a breaker out of a panel during a retrofit. Is this the part that closes the hole?
Yes, that is exactly the job. Pull a circuit and the dead-front is left with an open slot; the FP1 fills that single 1 inch space so nothing is exposed behind the cover. It is listed for both retrofit work and new panel assembly, so the same plate covers you on a fresh build where not every space gets a breaker on day one.
5) What is the Eaton equivalent of the ABB TQLFP1 filler plate?
The closest cross-brand counterpart is the Eaton GB/GHB/GHBS single pole panel mount filler plate. Both parts do the same job - covering an unused single-pole opening on a panel front so the interior is not exposed. The difference is the panel family each is cut for: the ABB FP1 is an ABB panelboard front accessory in a 1 inch trade size, while the Eaton plate is dimensioned for Eaton GB, GHB and GHBS breaker panels. Filler plates are not interchangeable across manufacturers, so match the plate to the brand of panel front you are finishing.
6) I have Eaton GHB breakers in my panel - can I use the ABB FP1 filler plate to cover the empty spaces?
Use the Eaton GB/GHB/GHBS panel mount filler plate for that panel instead. The ABB FP1 is built as an ABB panelboard front accessory and is sized to ABB panel front openings, while the Eaton plate is made specifically for the GB, GHB and GHBS breaker series. Filler plates rely on the exact opening geometry and retention features of the front they snap into, so stay with the plate matched to the panel brand.
7) Do ABB TQLFP1 filler plates come individually or in a box?
Standard package quantity is 50, with each plate packaged 1 EA inside. Worth knowing before you order for a single panel touch-up, since you are buying a box quantity aimed at contractors and panel shops running multiple builds.
8) What is the ABB part number for the FP1 panel filler plate?
Order it as TQLFP1. It is the FP1 series front filler plate in the 1 inch size, sold by ABB.
9) Do I need any screws or clips to install the ABB filler plate?
The FP1 is a straightforward field add-on to the panelboard front, meant to go in without extra fabrication. It is supplied as the plate itself, packaged 1 EA, so plan on using the panel front's own provisions to hold it.
10) If I am buying filler plates for a whole job, does the ABB FP1 or the Eaton plate come in bulk?
The ABB FP1 ships in a standard package quantity of 50 plates, with each unit packaged 1 EA, which suits panel shops and contractors filling multiple panel fronts in one build. The Eaton GB/GHB/GHBS filler plate is a single pole panel mount plate for Eaton breaker panels. If the job is standardized on ABB panelboards, the pack of 50 covers a run of fronts from one order number.
