In any case I prefer to replace antiquated systems before performing work on them. Also check out Article 394.12 Uses not permitted (5) "Hollow spaces of walls , ceilings, and attics where such spaces are insulated by loose, rolled, or foamed-in-place insulating material that envelopes the conductors." Basically your saying knob and tube can only be installed in uninsulated areas. @cephirothdy doesn't mention if it is an insulated ceiling or not. | |
