The use of cloth covered electrical wire may not meet current building code requirements. In most jurisdictions, building codes specify that electrical wiring should be constructed with approved materials such as thermoplastic or rubber thermosetting insulation. Cloth covered wire is considered outdated and may not provide sufficient protection against electrical hazards. It is best to consult with a licensed electrician or local building department to determine the specific code requirements in your area.
