Going Big on WRAS Cables

Following on from our success in supplying WRAS cables to pump installers we have identified that we needed to go bigger on both the cable sizing and the UK stock we were offering so from March 2023 we have increased our stock holding and will now hold stock up to 25mm conductor sizes.

In addition to this we have secured stock in Italy on a 14 day turnaround up to 50 mm with additional availability of cables up to 95mm should they be required.

This increase in both volume and conductor sizes is to better support local water authorities in their needs for quick cable delivery on maintenance and breakdowns .

Contact Cables is committed to supporting the WRAS cable requirements of customers in the UK with a fast efficient & competitive service.
