B215– SIEMENS (BL) 2P 15A 240V BOLT ON 10kA BREAKER

The BL series uses a bolt-on mounting method, where the breaker is physically bolted to the panelboard bus, providing a more secure connection — commonly specified in commercial panelboards and certain residential loadcentres. The QP series uses a plug-in design for quick installation in standard residential loadcentres. The two types are not interchangeable, so it's important to match the breaker style to your panel's bus design.

Siemens acquired ITE and Gould, and BL-series breakers are generally the current equivalent for many legacy ITE bolt-on breakers of the same frame. However, physical fit and bus compatibility should always be verified against your specific panel. Contact our team with your existing breaker part number or panel model and we can help confirm a direct replacement.

Yes — the B215 is a 2-pole, 240V, 15A breaker, making it appropriate for double-pole 240V branch circuits such as baseboard heaters, small HVAC equipment, or dedicated appliance circuits within its 15A rating. Always verify that the connected load's amperage and wiring gauge (typically 14 AWG for 15A circuits per Canadian Electrical Code) are matched to the breaker rating.
