I have a customer where the carpenter hit some knob & tube wiring in a couple of places and I cant get them into a junction boxes, unless they want to see access panels in their kitchen ceiling.. Any suggestions??? I don't know if these in-wall splice kits would be acceptable for knob and tube.. Thanks!!
Oh heck, I once worked for an interior home remodeler as a cabinet installer isto fill in the gap between jobs for myself and he had a very simple solution for that. I was watching when they used a sawzal to enlarge a doorway. The cut a knob and tube wire and they had a simple solution. The simply reconnected the wires with wire nuts and did what Ted Green would have done, wrap it with duct tape.
The same contractor Used plastic boxes in a kitchen wired with BX. Thinking that it was the same as Romex he simply stuck the BX through the holes of the plastic box and connected the witres to the devices. That contractor was a member or NARI as a quality contractor and even may have been a member of the BBB.
I soon found another opportunity with someone who was more reputable. That was many, may years ago.
