Double Pole Breaker

[Wade Johnson]

Can a dishwasher and garbage disposal be tied into one double pole breaker?

[Ray Norton]

Yes. I am assuming that these 2 appliances are cord and plug connected under the sink. The hot tab of the duplex receptacle is removed. Both appliances are supplied by a separate breaker and share the neutral. Actually the code requires a handle tie in this installation, thats why they use the 2 pole breaker.

Thank you, I feel silly for being lazy. It was listed quite plainly in my code book.
