Ordered new breaker and want to make sure it matches the current breaker in the breaker box that needs replacing.

I ordered the exact breaker that is in the breaker box and they sent me this one. I want to verify that it is compatible with one in the breaker box. I took a picture of each. Thanks in advanced the company won't answer their phone so I'm kind of stuck until I find out!

T&B no longer make breakers but the UL listed replacement breaker for T&B is Eaton

No aftermarket breaker is UL listed, only OEM is listed, the Eaton product is UL classified to be used in some competitive panels. The replacement breakers for Zinsco, FPE, & ITE Pushmatic, that are carried at Home Depot, & Lowes, are UL classified replacements.

Ok Norcal as long as it works. You take FPE out of business, never heard of and ITE not sure about. I done the research and it said Eaton was compatible. Good luck

NorCal let me guess the person at Home Depot told you that information and he is not an electrician

Zinsco/Sylvania was used regionally, they were from LA originally, so were used in tract homes & apartment bldgs where cheap was valued, also Zinsco bolt-on breakers were popular in nursing homes but the bolt-on breakers were not the issue the plug in breakers are.
It was Zinsco, then GTE Sylvania, then became Challenger after GTE sold them, I call Eaton BR, "Zinsco II" since the BR line has Zinsco heritage, and they are garbage.

HD is not the place to get information, other then where a certain item is, even that is hit & miss.

I was at HD to get a tool & checked the Zinsco replacements & they were ETL classified not UL, but ETL is cheaper for listing and a NRTL, Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory, as is CSA, & FM.
