if you don’t see these designations written all over the place, that’s not good. The next guy needs to know what you did and how long the lines are, how much you added. This system gets an 8 1/2 pound drink of juice.

I do the same thing on oil burners- I list the nozzle type and capacity, the pump pressure and anything else like using a larger static plate (which we do on quite a few retrofitted Becketts to get a better air pattern and better efficiency on a hollow nozzle), using an old-school Dymo labelmaker.

I hate when you see a brand new electric panel and you don't know what powers what....Mad Dog

Of course, a 50-year-old unlabeled panel is worse. Brand new you can assume there was some method to it.

From what I've seen, the method is often "eenie meenie miny moe".

To add topical information, I usually show my maths on the cover as well, it being to hand when I'm ciphering up the charge adder.

Noting the drawing number and approving PE‘s name is good practice when performing structural alterations. Makes the inspection go much quicker.

Documentation is as was said O the mark of a professional. Back in the day I did a lot of High end radiant multipal water temps, injection mixing based on outdoor reset ti was state of the art for the day. I always left a clip board on the radiant panel with all the water temps loop lengths,I & O manuals for controls etc. One homeowner called me 17 years later in the dead of a NH winter because he couldn't heat parts of his house comfortably.I went over and took a look. The homeowner upon questioning said his oil burner technition said the water temperatures were wrong so he reset them. I retrieved my clipboard.looked up the temps and reseet the injection mixing controls and in 15 minutes all was fine. My $2 clipboard saved a lot of hassle.
