Abb TQ3HTK Handle Tie Kit 10 Pack

Product Description

The ABB TQ3HTK is a handle tie kit designed for use with multiwire branch circuit breaker applications requiring three single-pole breakers to be ganged together. Each kit includes 10 individual handle tie pieces, allowing multiple installations per package. This hardware ensures that all three poles trip simultaneously when any one pole is tripped, a requirement under the National Electrical Code for multiwire branch circuits. Electricians and electrical contractors install this tie during panel work when running shared-neutral circuits in commercial and residential distribution panels.

The TQ3HTK is used in electrical panel installations where three single-pole breakers must be mechanically linked to meet code requirements for simultaneous disconnection. This kit is appropriate for residential and light commercial panelboard work where multiwire branch circuits are present and proper simultaneous trip action must be maintained across all current-carrying conductors.

Key Features

• Ties three single-pole breakers together for simultaneous tripping
• Meets NEC requirements for multiwire branch circuit disconnection
• Quantity of 10 pieces per kit allows multiple installations from one package
• Designed as an OEM-style accessory for compatible ABB TQ-series single-pole breakers

Compatibility

Designed for use with three single-pole breakers in multiwire branch circuit configurations. Verify fitment with the specific ABB breaker series before installation.

Installation Notes

Handle tie kits are installed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC Article 210 requirements for multiwire branch circuits. De-energize the panel and follow lockout/tagout procedures before working inside any electrical enclosure. The handle tie must be applied so that all three ganged breakers trip simultaneously with a single operation. Do not use handle ties as a substitute for a listed multi-pole breaker where a common trip device is specifically required by code.
