You may very well think that but I couldn't possibly comment.

They would.

I have only just noticed BAS's post.

The link to cable does not show any 4mm² which, if not used, would mean different wiring arrangements.

TBH I did not follow any of the links.

The stuff is made - surely somebody sells it?

Plan B - check with UK cable makers/wholesalers, Prysimian, BATT, Nexans etc - if they make it see if they can help you move along the supply chain until you reach someone selling it by the m.

But for a standard hob do you really consider that nessecary?

 

[EFLImpudence]

Well, no - but I can't really advise you to ignore it even if I would, myself.

I have found this American site with the cable -
http://www.hitechcontrols.com/cables/heat_resistant_cables/multi_core/thermflex_180_ewkf.html

However, if you refine the search to UK only, nothing is found.

So ...

You could contact the people you bought it from and say that (yes you have consulted a qualified electrician) unless they can tell you where you can buy the cable the maker specifies you'll reject the hob as being not of merchantable quality.

So last question I promise!

Do I have to fit a double wall plate or can I just wire both wires into the existing if I can make it fit ok
