Maximize your electrical panel’s potential with the Connecticut Electric UBIP 20/20 amps Tandem Single Pole Circuit Breaker. This compact tandem unit is engineered to double your circuit capacity in a single slot, delivering two independent 20A circuits at 120V without expanding your panel footprint.
Designed for indoor panels that accept tandem breakers, the UBIP model uses bolt-on mounting for a secure, long-lasting installation. With a slim 6-1/4" width, a height of 6" and a depth of 2", it fits neatly into spaces where traditional breakers won’t.
What makes this tandem breaker stand out
-
Two circuits in one slot: The 20/20 design powers two separate 20A circuits from a single physical location, increasing wiring options in tight spaces.
-
Bolt-on mounting: Quick, secure attachment to compatible panels, reducing installation time and ensuring solid contact.
-
Compact footprint: A slim 6-1/4" width and 2" depth make it ideal for crowded panels, kitchens, laundry rooms, garages, or any area where space is at a premium.
-
Indoor use only: Rated for indoor environments, protecting sensitive electronics from outdoor exposure.
-
Voltage and rating: 120V operation with two 20A circuits (amps: 20/20).
-
Brand and model: Connecticut Electric UBIP tandem breaker, part of the UBIP family.
Important compatibility and code considerations: This unit is not UL-listed or CSA-listed. Before purchasing or installation, verify that your panel accepts tandem single-pole breakers and complies with local electrical codes and panel labeling. Tandem breakers are allowed only in panels that are rated for their use; improper installation can affect panel performance and safety.
Ideal use scenarios
Use this tandem breaker to expand lighting or receptacle circuits in kitchens, basements, or bedrooms where panel space is limited. It’s particularly helpful during remodels or when upgrading an older home, enabling you to add necessary outlets and lighting without a full panel upgrade. This is a practical, space-conscious solution for installers and DIYers who need to maximize circuit density while keeping a tidy panel.
