Mike Lamb Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Is this knob and tube in the attic? Or old Romex? The parallel wiring in the attic made me think twice. The basement had a lot of old exposed Romex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Lamb Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Definitely? I know it's hard to tell, but those insulated conductors in #1 looked too big to be carrying just one wire. Almost 1/2" I'd say.

Bill Kibbel Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 1/2" is just about right for the loom (additional protective sleeve) that enshrouds the single wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
