⚡ Reference values only. Always follow the specific torque printed on the equipment nameplate or in the manufacturer's installation instructions — those override every generic table. Use a calibrated torque wrench/screwdriver. Overtightening can crack terminals or strip threads; undertightening causes loose connections that heat up and fail. Verify with your code book (CEC 12-116 / NEC 110.14(D)) for the current installation requirement.
