QL3HT - 3P Quicklag Handle Tie

QL3HT -  3P Quicklag Handle Tie

The Eaton QL3HT handle tie is a compact circuit breaker accessory designed to mechanically connect multiple single-pole breakers so they operate together as a single unit. Built for use with Eaton QL-style breakers, this handle tie joins three single-pole breakers to create a coordinated multi-pole switching action—an important feature in applications where simultaneous disconnect is required for safety and code compliance. Its slim, lightweight design allows it to fit neatly within panelboards while maintaining reliable operation. Manufactured to strict electrical standards and UL listed for safety, the QL3HT provides a simple yet effective way to ensure proper breaker coordination in commercial, industrial, and light-duty power distribution systems. When installed correctly, it helps electricians and maintenance teams maintain safer electrical installations while preserving the performance and reliability expected from Eaton circuit protection components.
