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.

The box may not be set up to accept tandem breakers in every slot. Look
toward the bottom of the panel the slots may look slightly different. This
is usually noted by say 28 position 32 circuit designation or similar
description.

This is Turtle.

You may be on to it here for I've run into this several time and I had to move
breakers around to find one that would take the piggy back breaker in a Home
box.
