We are working on a project where there is existing K&T wiring extending through the area we are working on. We are only adding new circuits and will not be dealing with the old wiring at all. I noticed that at some point the old K&T was repaired or extended using THHW and THHN. My first reaction was that this was not code compliant. I then anticipated that we would be required to fix this even though we were not dealing with the old circuits. However, in reading article 394.104 (article referring to knob & tube wiring), it says conductors shall be of a type specified by article 310. 310 doesn't give me any information that would lead me to believe it can't be used in this application. Is it approved?
Thanks.
Thanks.
