Whats the take on knob + tube extentions?
I saw a job today where the EC soldered romex onto k+t, taped the joint and left in the ceiling to be covered with drywall.
One tap is the continuation of a switch leg and the second refeeds part of the old circuit. There are no new loads on the k+t.
I say 394.10 applies to extentions of k+t using k+t, not romex.
300.15 for the box requirement.
but
300.16 allows "fittings" when making the transition. Of course no fittings were used. Just tape and solder.
