That's because the half-sized GE breakers are the only breakers approved for a GE panel that will give you two breakers in a full 1" space....Thats why I replied to his question "yes he's right". Everyone that is arguing on this seems to be referring to the GE half sized breakers.
Very good, the unit goes into a 1" slot. So its a full size breaker not half size.

Unfortunately that double pole breaker will not work if he only has one space and one buss stab left. It is a THQP 1/2 size double pole and it does not install in a 1" single pole space. It requires you to use 1/2 of two 1" spaces. I would surmise that you are not familiar with these style GE breakers??Very good, the unit goes into a 1" slot. So its a full size breaker not half size.
