Soffit ventilator spacing

Hi,

just getting around to fitting some 65mm diameter circular vents into my soffits.

A quickish Google doesn't give me any details of the recommended spacing.

Can some kind person give me a figure to save me trawling through the building regs?

TIA Dave R

Generaly one between each rafter, at least thats what the Building Inspector of my recent extension wanted.

i.e.

II O II O II O II etc etc

If that makes sense where II is the rafter and O is the vent

That's only necessary if there is no cross linkage across the air between the rafters, for example if Kingspan was inserted. Half this number would easily meet the airflow requirements.

I bleiev teh requirement is cross sexctional area equivalent to a 10mm wide strip all round teh roof, plus roof vents, but I can't be arsed to check teh exact wording.

I suggest you google it
