KNEE WALL to KNOCKOUTS

Knee Wall - Wall that is not high in comparison to the other walls in the structure.

Knob And Tube Wiring - Old style of wiring recognizable by porcelain knobs that hold the single strands of wire, and the tubes that insulate the wires as they pass through rafters or floor joists. In some cases this wiring is acceptable, in most cases it has been tampered with by previous homeowners adding outlets or lights. An evaluation by an electrician is strongly recommended.

Knockouts - Pre-punched sections/blanks that can be removed to connect conduit to a load center or junction boxes. Also on front panel of a breaker board.
