im after a fairly large diameter (3"/75mm approx) chrome pipe about 2m long to feed several cables down in corner of my room from behing TV on wall, to behind my tv unit, any ideas where I'll find such a thing?

Thought I'd add my post in this forum as it maybe DIY related?

Thanks in advance people

    You might have more luck if you could consider stainless, it's often available from steel stockholders.

    First find your pipe - mild steel is what you want - then find an electroplater to chrome it.

    Chrome plating is expensive and they quite often have a minimum cost.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Use chromed copper. Comes in 15, 22 and 28mm and used for fitting designer rads etc. 15mm only from your local shed - plumbers merchant for all sizes. Normally comes in 2 metre lengths from the sheds. 3 metres from the merchant. 28mm x 3m will knock you back the best part of £50 though!
