Torque Marking and Striping

[ThemeParkMike]

Torque striping is often used for structural mechanical connections but I have rarely seen it on electrical connections. Does anyone know of relevant standards for torque striping electrical connections and a safe product to use? I have often use Dykem for mechanical connections but it has a very long cure time. What are the pros and cons of torque striping electrical connections? Thanks.

Are you referring to physically marking across the terminal screw? A simply Sharpie is what most use.

I've mostly seen that too. May have seen it with paint pens a time or 2.

I've seen paint on connections from the manufacturer. Never saw anyone in the field using paint markers.
