In recent editions of NEC you must use either approved handle ties, or a true common trip multipole breaker for MWBC's. Either option meets the requirements for disconnecting all ungrounded conductors of the circuit simultaneously.
Derek, what I was asking was, is there a part of that train wreck that was a specific question or does the OP just want to ask the original question here.
That is where we are headed. I predict someday soon MWBC won't be allowed. Crying shame.
My bad for quoting you instead of just posting what I had to say - I was not disputing or asking for more about anything you specifically said. I need to find different practices I guess as I quote things to remind me what was said or what it was that triggered my though process while composing sometimes but is often taken as criticism of what was quoted, which most of the time is not what was intended.
No, problem Derek, but this thread has the makings of being a train wreck in it's on right.

The answer would be yes. SQ D and CH both make handle ties listed for three breakers and I would say others do as well, I just haven't had reason to check the others yet.
Not familiar with that site, but not surprised with what was posted either. Seems to be many inspectors out there that are not too open minded and do not want to be told they may be wrong about something. Most that do come to this site seem to be willing to at least listen when something goes against what they think is right.
