Still checking some sources, but;
IAEI NEWS Jan/Feb 2006 issue had an article by Christel Hunter, (senior field applications engineer, B.Sc. engineering physics and electrical engineering) for Alcan Cable which includes information on terminating AL wire.
"If terminating a conductor with a set-screw connector, the bare connector should be wire brushed and an oxide inhibitor applied to the bare conductors." It also states "The screw should then be tightened using a torque wrench or torque screwdriver."
In a more recent article...
IAEI NEWS May/June 2007 article by Jacqueline Silvia with FCI BURNDY in the section "Proper Installation is essential"
Point three "Applied an oxide inhibiting compound to any exposed conductor surface before inserting the conductor into the connector."
If the people making the wire and the people making the connectors say to use anti oxide it sure seems like a requirement for 110.3(B)
We don't get to see the wire brush and Torque tool use, but we can tell if there is anti oxide.
