why the twin & earth method.could singles not be used??

It'll go up 32 but if you can use 38 it'll be easier...... swings and raahnd-abaaahts, mate.

 

[pennywise]

It'll go up 20mm PVC

Cheers guys, my thoughts were 32mm would be fine - surely 20mm would be a bit of a push,

cheers durham got 6mm single but using T&E due to the route the cable is taking (under floorboards) from cu before it goes in the conduit for the final part.

it will go up 20mm even with bends or to make life easier 25mm. using 32 or 38mm is major overkill

I would have said 25mm with ease

If the 6 mil ft+e is the only cable then I would say a 25mm conduit. A 32mm conduit is sensible if you want to leave an option for another cable in future. 38mm is a big chase if it's going in a wall. If it's a single skin wall you might have structural considerations at this size.
