Square D QO1HT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Square D QO1HT handle tie work on QOB bolt-on breakers, or only plug-on QO?
The QO1HT handle tie is built for both QO and QOB thermal magnetic circuit breakers, so it works on the plug-on QO and the bolt-on QOB versions. It is specific to the Square D QO range, so don't plan on it fitting Homeline or another manufacturer's breaker.
2) What does a handle tie on two single-pole breakers actually accomplish in a panel?
It mechanically gangs adjacent breaker handles so they trip or switch together. The common reason to do it is a multiwire branch circuit, or a 120/240V load fed from two single-pole breakers, where both ungrounded conductors need to be disconnected at the same time. The QO1HT gives you that coordinated switching on QO and QOB breakers in a lighting and appliance panelboard.
3) Does the Square D QO1HT tie two breakers or three?
It is a 1-pole handle tie, meaning it joins the handles of single-pole QO/QOB breakers sitting side by side in the panel. If you need to gang three single-pole breakers instead, that is a different part: the Eaton BR handle tie for three single-pole breakers or the ABB Q-Line 3-pole multiwire handle tie kit cover the three-pole case on their own breaker lines.
4) Can an Eaton BR handle tie be used on Square D QO breakers?
No. The Square D QO1HT handle tie is built for the QO series and pairs with QO and QOB thermal magnetic breakers; the Eaton BR handle tie is made for Eaton BR single-pole breakers. Handle ties are series-specific to the handle geometry and spacing of the breaker family, so a BR tie belongs on BR breakers and the QO1HT stays with QO. Confirm the breaker family stamped on the device before ordering the tie.
5) What do I use to tie three single-pole breakers together instead of a two-handle tie?
The Square D QO1HT is a 1-pole handle tie for ganging QO and QOB breaker handles. If the panel is an Eaton BR loadcenter and three single-pole breakers need to be tied, the Eaton BR handle tie is made for three single-pole breakers; in an ABB Q-Line panel the TQ3HTK is a 3-pole multiwire handle tie kit. Match the tie to the breaker series already in the enclosure.
6) How many handle ties come in a pack of Square D QO1HT?
Five per package. That is worth knowing if you only need one tie for a single multiwire circuit, and it is convenient if you are standardizing several panels in a building at once.
7) I'm an electrician on a commercial panelboard job, not a house. Is the QO1HT only a residential part?
No. The QO and QOB breakers it ties provide overcurrent protection and switching on ac and dc systems in residential, commercial, and industrial installations, and the tie is used for lighting and appliance panelboard feeds in all three. The residential market tag reflects a common use, not a limit.
8) What is the difference between the Square D QO1HT and the ABB Q-Line TQ3HTK handle tie kit?
Both gang breaker handles for common switching, but they serve different breaker families and pole counts. The QO1HT is a 1-pole handle tie for Square D QO and QOB breakers, supplied five per pack. The ABB TQ3HTK is a 3-pole multiwire handle tie kit for the ABB Q-Line series. The deciding factor is the breaker line in the panelboard, not the tie itself.
9) I need a handle tie for a multiwire branch circuit disconnect. Which one applies?
For multiwire branch circuits in an ABB Q-Line panel, the TQ3HTK is specifically described as a 3-pole multiwire breaker handle tie kit. In a Square D QO or QOB panel, the QO1HT is the 1-pole handle tie used to gang single-pole QO breaker handles for coordinated switching of lighting and appliance panelboard circuits. Choose by the installed breaker series and the number of poles that must open together.
10) Does the Square D QO1HT meet RoHS and does it contain mercury?
RoHS compliant, mercury free, and free of toxic heavy metals. It falls outside China RoHS legal scope, with a pro-active China RoHS declaration. Made in the United States.
11) Do I need tools to install a QO handle tie, or does it snap onto the breakers?
It mounts to compatible QO and QOB breaker handles as a straightforward field installation, with the breakers already in the panel. Nothing else is supplied with it beyond the ties themselves, five to a pack.
