Electrical Question - Cloth Wire to Romex Connection
Hello, my basement has old cloth insulated wiring. I am moving a light fixture in my bathroom and putting up drywall, but the cloth wire is not long enough to make it to the light fixture's J-box now. My question is, is it up to code to just add a new j-box where I connect the cloth wire to a new romex with wire nuts, and then just run that new romex to the light fixture? I think this is okay as long as the new j-box is exposed and not hidden behind my new drywall. Here is a picture illustrating what I want to do: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gq8E8tBIoUUfUisPhkTJ3-wzz5jHTA7Y4remhWsWiu0/edit?usp=sharing submitted by /u/wfo282 [link] [comments]
