I want to change out an HOM 1-pole breaker with an HOMT 1-pole breaker.
(The HOMT is a tandem-type breaker that would add an additional circuit
breaker to accommodate an additional circuit in the single space.) However,
I cannot get the HOMT breaker to fully seat in the panel.

Is there any trick to getting the tandem breaker to seat? I have examined
the mating surfaces and I cannot see any difference in design that would
prevent full seating. I even tried plenty of force (which usually doesn't
let me down).

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.


This is Turtle.

Yea , Awwwww , You are putting the breaker in a spacer slot. Trade the breaker
for the one above it or the one below it and it should slip in there good. Move
it up slot up or down and it should fit.

The only time I really see this is When I put a 2 pole breaker in and will hit
the plastic spacer bar. The reason I say this you can be hitting the plastic
spacer bar even with a single in some cases.

Other than this try a bigger hammer.
