Have you looked in cable, equipment wire, high temperature?
Heat resistant (usually butyl or silicone rubber) cable for immersion heaters is available from all good electrical factors and quite probably even from bigger Bee & Queues.

You mean like this?
Screwfix does 3 core flex in 1 metre lengths, and TLC does it in 50 or 100 metres. For reasons I won't bore you with I am looking for single core to run in a flexible conduit into an industrial 3 phase immersion heater element.
thanks

Try
I dunno - that link doesn't seem to work.
But they and others do cable suitable for your application - although you'd likely have to sleeve it at either end for identification purposes.
A quick glance at the website would suggest 483-5973

OOI, why single core cable?

Forget my other question then, this part of the thread has appeared as a new thread for me for some reason.
deg C and in 25m reels, however that is only 10A. There is a 24A version (CBBR1385) but only in 5m lengths.
Thank you Dave, well spotted. I guess I had a mind set that I needed power cable, not instrumentation cable.
A mate of mine is replacing four domestic immersions in a light industrial application with a couple of Redring industrial 3 phase jobs, but still run off an existing single phase controller. To make a neater job I would prefer to run the supplies in a flexible conduit rather than putting two or three standard "flexes" through the 25 mm gland. Anyway thanks all for the links, I now have several options. I was confused by RS apparently classing 25A as "instrumentation" rather than "power" cable.
Never used CPC before, I keep forgetting about them!
Like RS, only the catalogue is less well organised and they charge half the price! ;-)
(make sure you get a paper catalogue - without it there are some things you will never find on the web)
Thanks, a good tip, I will do that.
