Guys

What cable would you guys use to make up a three phase extension lead for use with a jet washer? I was thinking SY cable but I can't earth the sheath in commando sockets. Someone suggested a heavy duty rubber type flex. What do you think?

The supply would be 32a per phase.

what's that all about?
 
A load of carp Tel! Think it should say provides earth prot!

If the existing commando socket is only 4 pin could you replace with 5/6 pole changeover and add a 5/6 pin outlet in addition (with only one use able at a time). May have to pull in a CPC though.
 
Same as Steve I'd suggest a neoprene trailing cable such as HO7RNF but if you're using chemicals in the vicinity check for compatibility with neoprene first.
