Product FAQs
6 answersWhich load centers accept the UBIP260 circuit breaker?
This breaker is specifically classified for use in legacy Pushmatic and Bulldog load centers. It is designed to fit panels that originally used Pushmatic style breakers.
Can I use the UBIP260 to replace an original P260 breaker?
Yes, the UBIP260 is a direct replacement for the original Pushmatic P260 60A 2-pole breaker. It provides a modern, safety-listed alternative for aging Bulldog and Pushmatic panels.
How is the UBIP260 secured to the panel bus?
Pushmatic style breakers utilize a bolt-on mounting design. The breaker is secured directly to the bus bar using a captive screw, ensuring a tight and reliable electrical connection.

The lugs accommodate conductors from 14 AWG up to 3 AWG. When installing this 60A breaker, ensure your wire gauge is properly sized for the load and complies with the National Electrical Code.

Yes, the UBIP260 is ETL Listed to UL Standard 489 for molded case circuit breakers. It is tested to meet modern safety requirements for use in the US and Canada.
Does the UBIP260 feature the traditional push-button operation?
Yes, like original Pushmatic breakers, this replacement model utilizes a push-to-trip and push-to-reset button mechanism rather than a standard toggle switch.
