Gas vent for plinth

Having spoken to the boiler company, I will need a vent for the plinth when my new kitchen is fitted.

The vent needs to have a free air space capacity of 310 square cm.

I have tried looking online (eg Screwfix, Hombase etc).

Many of the vents are not suitable for gas appliances, and the ones that are suitable seems to have a lower air space capacity.

The only one I found was too big to fit on a plinth.

Does such a vent exist, and if so where can I get one.

    Have you asked the boiler manufacturer or your fitter that question?

    Leave it with him as he's doing the job. Let him supply and fit the correct vent.

    Are you sure they don't want 2. 1 high 1 low. That is the usual set up of compartment vents.

    I spoke to techie at Worcester Bosch. He suggested I leave the plinth off. I asked if a vent could be used instead. He said yes, as long as it had free air space of 310 sq cm.

    He said I could get this from a 'merchant'. I can't find one.

    I've now found an appropriate one.
