    Joining 2 pieces of flexible corragated tubing?

    Hi, I was wondering if it's ok to join 2 pieces of plastic tubing for cable in the wall. I left a length of tubing about 5 mm short of a built in socket. Is it ok to add, say 3 cm of tubing, using plastic insulating tape? The tubing is for twin and earth cable. Thank you.
