What is Knob and Tube Wiring

Knob and tube wiring was used widely up until the 1930s; however, many electrical contractors continued to use the method for residential construction projects all the way up until the 1970s. The method gets its name from the ceramic knobs and tubes used to hold and connect wires in place. They lack a ground wire necessary to carry excessive charge during a short.

Other problems with knob and tube wiring is the insulation that is used, most commonly rubber. After years of service, rubber insulation can deteriorate, exposing bare wire to air and moisture. This increases the likelihood of a short or a fire occurring. Knob and tube wiring is also very difficult to add circuits to the system. These problems can lead insurance companies to demand hire premiums from homeowners.
