Default Square D double taps
Does square D allow 12 gauge double taps or just 14?
I wasn't sure it allowed 12 gauge or not.
Thanks for the help.

The 15 amp HomeLine Version I'm holding, has instructions on the side for 10#-14# AWG Cu for dual wiring.

I have seen this as well. The Square D Breakers 15-30 amp are rated for 2 conductor wires 14-1O gauge. See this link:
