The Eaton BQL260 is a bolt-on style double-pole breaker from Eaton's BQL series, designed to mount in compatible Eaton bolt-on loadcentres and panelboards. It is not a plug-in (BR or CH type) breaker — bolt-on mounting is required, so it will not clip into standard BR or CH residential panels. At 60A / 240V / 10kA AIC, it suits both residential and light-commercial applications such as hot tub subfeeds, EV charger circuits, and HVAC equipment. Not sure if this breaker fits your panel? Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm compatibility.
No — the BQL260 uses a bolt-on mounting style, which is physically different from the plug-in design used by Eaton's BR and CH series breakers. Installing it in a BR or CH loadcentre is not recommended and may not be code-compliant. If you have a bolt-on style Eaton or compatible panelboard, this breaker may be a fit. Send us your panel model and we'll confirm before you order.
Yes — the BQL260 is a common choice for hot tub and spa circuits, which typically require a dedicated 2-pole, 240V circuit in the 50–60A range per CEC and manufacturer requirements. Always verify the exact amperage and disconnect requirements specified in your hot tub's installation manual and confirm with a licensed electrician that this breaker suits your panel and local code.
