Double tap.... allowed.

This is an example of when two conductors are permitted to be on the same connection of a circuit breaker. Just a reminder for the new folks.

I am not a fan of using the phrase “double tap” on a breaker designed for two conductors. It is just a two conductor circuit breaker that doesn’t warrant mention. I prefer to use “double tap” for an instance where two conductors are used where only one conductor is allowed, as a defect. JMHO.
