Circuit Breaker Panel Directory & Label Maker

Make a clear directory for the circuits you have verified. Match your panel, edit each physical position, then save or print. No account or panel manufacturer database required.

This tool documents existing circuits; it does not identify them. Verify every description. If identification is uncertain, ask a qualified electrician. Do not remove energized panel covers or perform energized testing for this tool.

1. Match Your Panel

Panel name

Number of numbered spaces

Custom number of spaces

Physical layout

Circuit numbering

Spaces are stored by physical position, read across each row from left to right. Changing numbers keeps descriptions at those positions. Changing columns requires reviewing the physical layout; unpair two-pole entries first. Space numbers must be unique.

2. Label Your Circuits

Use locations and purposes you have verified. Two-pole entries join the next space below in the same column—not the space across the row. Tandems hold A and B descriptions within one physical space. These are documentation choices, not confirmation of breaker compatibility.

Example descriptions are fictional and must not be copied as your circuit identities. Clear Tool asks before discarding entered data. Export a copy before changing your directory.

Notes and verification date (optional)

Date you verified the circuit descriptions

3. Print or Save

Print a plain-paper test first. For Avery 5160, select US Letter, 100% / Actual Size, headers and footers off. Do not use Fit to Page. Compare all four corners and the last row against your label sheet before using labels. Physical alignment is pending your printer test.

Print order

Panel order follows physical positions: the left panel column prints down Avery column 1, the right down column 2, continuing in those same lanes on later sheets. Single-column panels and Numerical order fill down each of Avery’s three columns. Numerical order sorts the actual circuit identifiers. This print-time choice does not change or renumber your saved directory.

Choose Save as PDF in your browser’s print dialog if you want a printable file. Export JSON below to preserve editable data. Calibration contains no private circuit descriptions.

Starting-position numbers retain the sheet’s row-by-row meaning: 1 is top-left, 2 top-middle, 3 top-right, 4 starts the next row. Positions before your start are left blank on the first sheet. Panel order uses the available left/right Avery lanes; when a lane is exhausted on a partial sheet, its first remaining label may use column 3 before continuing on a new sheet. Column 3 otherwise stays unused in two-column Panel order. Numerical and single-column printing use all three columns. Starting position applies only to the first sheet. Offsets move the entire Avery grid; they do not change its scale or pitch. Test your printer’s printable area. Compact dimensions reserve a fixed box; shorten entries, increase the box or reduce text size if it overflows.

Open a Saved Directory

Save your directory to your computer. Return to RockUtility anytime, open your saved file, and continue editing or printing.

Saved files are stored on your device. No RockUtility account is required, and no directory data is uploaded to our servers. Unsaved edits can be lost when the page closes or refreshes. Save your directory before leaving; there is no automatic browser storage.

How to make a useful panel directory

Copy the numbering on your actual panel rather than assuming every breaker box follows the same pattern. In two-column layouts, odd/even runs across the rows; sequential-by-column counts down the left side before the right. Custom numbering lets you match another arrangement. Review the live preview after setup changes.

Describe verified locations and purposes clearly enough that another household member can understand them. A tandem has two separately described circuits in one physical space. A two-pole entry spans two neighboring positions down the same column in this editor. If your panel uses another arrangement, do not force that assignment: use ordinary entries with clear custom labels and have uncertain identification reviewed by an electrician. This tool does not establish electrical suitability.

Export an editable copy after changes and update the verification date only when you have checked the descriptions. Keep a full-page reference with optional notes in household records. The compact directory prioritizes circuit numbers and descriptions; notes appear in the full-page reference.

Printing and Avery 5160 geometry

Template dimensions and print limitations

Avery 5160 uses US Letter (8.5 × 11 inches), three columns and ten rows of nominal 2.625 × 1 inch labels. This tool uses a 0.1875 inch left margin, 0.5 inch top margin, 2.75 inch horizontal pitch and 1 inch vertical pitch. Margins and pitch were checked against the vector positions in Avery’s official 5160 template; they are not inferred from label size alone.

The manufacturer PDF outline is approximately 2.63 inches wide; this tool uses the requested nominal 2.625-inch label width with the same verified origins and pitch. Text is inset from label edges. Long descriptions can overflow; the layout check warns and printing is blocked until text fits. Browser, driver, feed and physical printer margins can affect alignment. No physical alignment has been verified yet.

Safety and limitations

Label only circuits you have verified. This directory maker is not a circuit identifier, load calculator, wiring plan, diagnostic tool or code-compliance check. It does not supply amperages, wire sizes or appliance assignments for your home.
