cable sizes
Reply with quote Thanks

My Belling Forum 335 electric (hob/grill/oven) cooker manual recommends a cable size of 6mm² and a maximum of 10mm².

A) where can i buy a short length of this online for delivery please and
B) does this cable size seem correct ? this table doesn't mention cable of this size for electric cookers.

thanks for any help

Screwfix do it, but you might have to buy 25m whereas the physical DIY sheds tend to do 3m (albeit quite overpriced) packs

TLC direct sell by the metre though I think
