Cable for connecting induction hob

[Pretty Mouth]

The manufacturers instructions for an induction hob I will be fitting in the new year are telling me to use either H03V2V2-F or H05BB-F (basically 90degree PVC or rubber flex) for the connection.

These are difficult to get hold of in the couple of meters of 4mm that I need, and I'm struggling to see why they might be necessary anyway, induction hobs are specific as to where they output heat. I'm considering connecting it using good old twin and earth.

Can anyone offer any compelling argument against the use of twin and earth in this instance please?

To be fair if the existing cable is 4mm or 6mm and in good condition I will re-use it

only use my brand new roll of 4mm rubber flex if the old cable is undersized

Thanks for the advice guys. TBH, I still recon T+E will be fine for this, but i'll get some H07 for appearances sake.

IF you buy a 50M roll , it will likely last you until you retire. I got a roll a few years ago and have only used about 3 or 4 metres of it so far
