So i finally got around to finish wiring my ceiling heater i bought myself for xmas
http://www.menards.com/main/heating...0v-ceiling-garage-heater/p-2403717-c-6328.htm

I ran 2 10ga wires in conduit from my panel to a 4" box that will have the DPDT cutoff switch and a Thermostat
switch:

thermostat:

Now i need to connect it in my breaker panel and i know i need a 30amp 240v breaker... but what im wondering is which style of 30 amp breaker. i've purchased one of each with intent on returning the incorrect one:

and
http://www.menards.com/main/mainten...omeline-trade-30-amp-120/p-1736329-c-6416.htm

all the owners manual for the heater says is :30 amp breaker

for those interested here is the manual:

Can't tell you what breaker until you tell us what panel you have,first one is a QO series,2nd one is homeline, both made by square d. Look at your breakers and you will be able to figure out what one you need

Yes I just checked and the QO don't fit..

Now do I want a double pole 30&30 or a double pole 15&15 for a 30 amp 240 circuit?
