QO Load Centers

Resolution:
The PK4MB2HA retaining kit secures one QO 2-pole branch circuit breaker with or without electrical accessories to the Right side of the interior when used as a Back-Fed Main Breaker.
This retaining kit can ONLY be used for QO, 1phase, 150-225amp, Convertible main load centers, Series S01 and S02, and Plug-On Neutral Series S06 Load Centers.
The retaining bracket will mount over the face of the back-fed branch breaker and get secured using the single interior mounting screw that comes with the kit.
NOTE: QO-GFI and QO-AFI branch circuit breakers are NOT suitable for use as back-fed main circuit breakers.
