Anyone know where I can get short lengths of 4mm^2 singles (brown, blue, green/yellow) for use in conduit ? I only need about 2 metres of each. I cannot find anywhere that does cut lengths.
B&Q used to have if on a roll years ago, but no longer.
I can run some TWE through but its much easier at the other end (an external socket) with singles.

Thanks,
Simon.

TLC only do 6mm upwards. Why not strip the sheath off some T&E and put
sleeving over teh earth?

Is it OK to use stripped TWE inside conduit ?
I assumed the insulation had to be thicker on singles without a second outside jacket ?

It would be better if you used some 6491X cable for the earth and not the
earth from the T&E with earth sleeving over it.
