electure;
well.... believe it or not, No-Lox is a listing requirement of some service equipment.

and the tourqe thing, the intention is good, don't get me wrong. it's just that there are a multitute of variables here that a torque wrench will not address, so to me it's a very generic 'fix' . As Virgil and Don's posts eludes to, the physical characteristic's involved are fairly deep. My point of view is tainted by having to work with engineers for a decade who would probably have a 3 day pow-wow resulting in a mini-series , such is mil-spec!

In the practical world , think of all the torque requirements that could apply here, as we seem focused only on service gear;
-every switch...
-every receptacle...
-every wirenut...
-every pipe fitting...
-every lug, bug...
no one , other than an extreem obsessive/compulsive individual is going to actually use a tourqe indicating tool on all of this

yesterday's observation;
Siemens now makes a 'speed-screw' panel. This has Grn/Noodle bars with combo square drive heads. The installer can now use a bat-drill to drive all these home, it really works well, and as i was doing so i wondered if the clutch settings could be translated into inch-pounds [Linked Image]
