General Contractor I work for called today and said he opened a wall and found K+T.
The location was an exterior wall where the original service was located when the home was built in 1928.
Looks like whoever did the work fed a j box with 14/3 NM ( probably in the 50's) and spliced all the K+T at that point.
Once I got it rung out I found it powers all the lighting on the first floor and quite a few receptacles.
If I keep insulation out of that wall cavity can the K+T stay as long as it's properly spliced in the proper size box?
There were 8 single conductors in loom and the old style 14/3 cable in a 1 1/2" deep octagon box, soldered and taped.
Thanks
