The document provides four tables with recommended torque values in pound-feet for tightening various types of electrical bolts and fasteners. Table 100.12.1 lists values for steel bolts with different strength grades. Table 100.12.2 lists values for silicon bronze fasteners, with separate entries for lubricated and non-lubricated. Table 100.12.3 lists values for aluminum alloy fasteners and recommends lubrication. Table 100.12.4 lists values for uncoated stainless steel fasteners. The tables provide guidance on properly tightening electrical connections to prevent loosening over time.
