Heat resisting flex for cooker

[Marvo]

I think the manufacturers are taking a fat chance specifying a particular model of cable, they should be giving a general spec with regard to cable size and temperature range etc......it's like a car manufacturer saying you can only use BP petrol in their car instead of saying it must run on unleaded.

H07 neoprene rubber cable is a great all-round trailing cable, we use it regularly for numerous applications. I have stock from 0.75 3-core all the way through to 16mm 5-core, it might even come larger than that as well. I can't think of any application where H07 couldn't be used in place of H05.

You can get it up to 35mm. I’ve used lots of 3 X 35 to supply these beasts

Are you being serious here?? Look, ....T&E has been used for the final conections to cookers since before i even started in this industry!! I've never seen, or come to that, ever heard of T&E being damaged by heat from the connected oven or hob!!
Now all of a sudden, it's not suitable and needs to be 6mm butyl flexible cable, that no-body seems to stock. .....Maybe , because no-body buys the stuff, as they are all still using the T&E!!!!

totally agree never seen a burnt twin and earth to an oven or hob . i would also like appliance manufacturers to put decent sized terminal boxes for connecting said t&E cable into. I've opened up many an oven fro low to top end stuff that appears to be wired in bits of 1.5mm heat resistant cable. that i have to connect a6.0mm onto

Heat resistant 4mm butyl flex 3183TQ is available by the metre from TLC - in Slough or online. It is rated at 35 amps.

The problem is not the T&E cable being damaged by heat, but the insurance company not paying out if the house does burn down for any reason.

Don't be an ---, well over 90% and probably a hell of a lot more domestic cookers will have been terminated with 6mm/10mm or it's imperial equivalent T&E!! So how many insurances claims do you know of, that has been refused because of using T&E to connect a cooker? Now let me take a wild card guess here ...NONE!!

maybe not, eng. but it's a case where they might try and wriggle out of paying out. you know what a bunch of winkers insurance companies are.
