Knob & Tube Question 13 years 9 months ago #39501

Casey Patten Topic Author Offline Platinum Member Posts: 1541 Thank you received: 0	Is knob & tube wiring tinned copper? I saw several wires today that look silver, and I'm pretty sure it's not aluminum. Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Usually much easier to find in the attic unless it is buried under insulation, which is a hazard. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
