What are the advantages and disadvantages of steel junction boxs?
There are no advantages or disadvantages over which type of junction box to be used on electrical wiring. As long as the junction box is of an approved type (CSA or UL approved). It is cost or location which dictates which boxes will be used. PVC boxes for home wiring are the cheapest. Aluminium or steel are usually used in rigid or EMT conduit systems. PVC again when the conduit system involves underground wiring. In large electrical installations it is the electrical engineer that states what the conduit system type is and what type of electrical junction boxes that must be used.

How does knob and tube wiring work in older homes and what are the potential safety concerns associated with this type of electrical system?
Knob and tube wiring is an older electrical system where wires are run through ceramic tubes and secured with knobs. Electricity flows through the wires to power devices in the home. However, this type of wiring can pose safety risks due to its age, lack of grounding, and insulation deterioration. Potential concerns include fire hazards, electrical shocks, and limitations on modern electrical usage. It is recommended to have a professional electrician assess and potentially upgrade knob and tube wiring for safety reasons.

If your house still has some knob and tube wiring does current electrical code require it all be replaced when new electrical work is done?
Yes, current electrical codes typically require that knob and tube wiring be replaced when new electrical work is done, especially if it does not meet modern safety standards. This type of wiring is often deemed inadequate and poses safety risks, such as fire hazards. Additionally, many insurance companies may not cover homes with knob and tube wiring, further incentivizing homeowners to upgrade to safer wiring systems. Always consult a licensed electrician or local building authority for specific requirements in your area.
