Facts About Knob and Tube Wiring:
It is more hazardous than modern wiring because of its age, modifications that may have been made in the past, and its open nature, which make it prone to physical damage. In some cases, insulation covers the wires as well, adding to the potential hazard.
Knob and tube wiring has no ground wire so it can’t be used for 3-pronged appliances.
