Product FAQs

6 answers
Which legacy panels are compatible with the Siemens P120?

This breaker is designed exclusively for Pushmatic load centers. It is fully compatible with older Pushmatic panels originally manufactured by Bulldog, ITE, Gould, and Siemens.

What are the alternate catalog numbers for this 20A Pushmatic breaker?

Depending on the era of your electrical system, this exact 20-amp breaker may be labeled as Bulldog P120, ITE P120, or Gould P120. The Siemens P120 serves as the direct replacement for all of these legacy part numbers.

How does the P120 connect to the panel busbar?

This breaker uses a bolt-on connection specific to Pushmatic panels. It secures directly to the busbar using a screw, which provides a reliable mechanical and electrical connection for older legacy systems.

Does this breaker use a standard toggle switch to reset?

No, Pushmatic breakers like the P120 feature a unique push-button actuation mechanism instead of a traditional toggle switch. The button is pressed to manually open or close the circuit and pops out when a trip occurs.

Can I use aluminum wiring with the Siemens P120?

Yes, the screw and clamp terminals are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. When terminating aluminum wire, ensure you use the supported 14 to 10 AWG wire sizes and apply an appropriate joint compound.

Will this breaker fit in a standard Siemens load center?

No, the P120 is exclusively designed for legacy Pushmatic load centers. It will not fit in standard Siemens EQ, Ultimate, or PL series panels that require plug-on or standard bolt-on breakers.

    Siemens PFP3 Filler Plate
    I recommend this product
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Easy to order and Quick Shipping

    I needed some filler plates for an older breaker panel. Not available at any retail places I could find, thankfully Superbreakers had them. A couple minor issues: they didn't include the size specifications (L x W x D) online, which would have helped confirm they were the right fit; and they included an unrelated picture (along with the right one).

    But the online order processing was easy-to-use and had all the info needed (especially the shipping options/costs, and the return policy). They also stuck to their word about getting it out in 24 hours. It arrived via UPS Ground in a respectful 5 days. They of course fit the panel and all is well.

    Overall, very pleased with the company.

    The part was correct,, but I was shocked when the cheapest (ground) shipping was almost as much as the part that only weighed 8 ounces. The part was $14.03 and the shipping was almost $13.00.

    Happy with my Purchase

    This is the 4th time I have used SuperBreakers and have been happy with my purchase every time. I have an old style style system in my house and the company I was using told me the old style breakers were impossible to find and charged me $80 each. Next time I needed one I found SuperBreakers had them for $15 each. I am no longer using that electrical company.
