QL2HT - 2P Quicklag Handle Tie

QL2HT -  2P Quicklag Handle Tie

The QL2HT handle tie is a compact yet essential accessory designed to mechanically link two compatible BAB or QC circuit breakers, allowing them to operate together as a unified two-pole switching device. Built for reliability in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems, this handle tie helps ensure both breaker handles trip or reset simultaneously—an important safety feature when protecting single-phase circuits that require coordinated disconnection. Its small footprint and lightweight design make installation straightforward while maintaining dependable performance within panelboard environments. Engineered for use in NEMA 1 enclosures and rated for applications up to 225 amps with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, the QL2HT helps electricians and maintenance professionals maintain consistent circuit protection while meeting common electrical system requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

• Synchronized breaker operation: Mechanically links two BAB or QC breakers so they trip and reset together for coordinated circuit protection.
• Designed for two-pole applications: Converts compatible single breakers into a paired two-pole configuration for single-phase systems.
• Compact and lightweight: Small dimensions make it easy to install in panelboards without interfering with adjacent components.
• Improved operational safety: Ensures simultaneous handle movement, helping maintain proper disconnection of multi-wire circuits.
• Durable accessory design: Built for dependable performance in standard electrical distribution environments.
