It depends on the type pf panel. Some panels allow for half sized tandem breakers and some do not. It all depends on the busbar in the panel in relation to the part of the breaker that snaps/bolts on the bus. My advice would be to try it and if the breaker will snap/bolt on the bus you are good to go.... even better yet ...call an electrician...we work hard to learn the methods and codes in order to provide safe electricity in homes and buisnesses and for someone to just go online and try to do something themselves in order to save a few bucks is not cool and really just downright dangerous if you dont know what you are doing.

What brand of electrical panel box is compatible with Gould brand breakers?
Siemens bought Gould so a Siemens panel should work.
Should an electrical outlet box protrude or be recessed relative to the wall?
Are you talking about recepticale boxes that you plug a device into or service panel that the breakers are in?
What is a sub panel?
A sub-panel is always fed from a main panel. The main panel is situated where the electrical service wiring first enters the main structure on a dwelling plot or building site.A sub-panel can be situated within the same building as the main panel or it can be in a subsidiary building or structure (such as a garage, garden shed or workshop) that is separate from the main building.More informationA sub-panel is another name for a secondary breaker box, just as "the main panel" is another name for "the main breaker-box"."Breaker-box" and/or "panel" are just alternative short names that are used instead of the full name "circuit breaker box".
What breakers will work with gould box?
Some Siemens may work but remember you are responsible for any fire or lives lost that may occur from using the wrong breaker. Get Gould breakers and you will then know they are safe. Can't find Gould breakers then replace the entire service panel. That is what I would do.
How high should the light switch box be off the floor?
The top of the breaker box cannot be more than 6 ft 7 in off the floor. No defining height is mandated from floor to panel box base. Defer to common sense when placing the panel box. Make it easy to see and read the top circuit breaker and location identifications of the remaining breakers.
