Ventilation is one of the most important components of a compost toilet—and one of the most common questions we get. Whether you’re installing in a van, RV, tiny home, or cabin, the **OGO™ ORIGIN’s vent hose system** is designed to be simple, effective, and adaptable. This guide covers how to install the included hose, how to modify it if needed, and how to order additional custom lengths for your unique setup. --- ![peachwood campervans](https://learn.ogotoilet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/peachwood%20campervans.jpg?width=688&height=860&name=peachwood%20campervans.jpg)*Photo Credit: @peachwood campervans* --- ### What Comes with the OGO™ ORIGIN Your OGO™ ORIGIN includes a **3-foot wire-reinforced ventilation hose**, ready to connect to your toilet and exterior vent: - **Outer Diameter (OD)**: 1.6825" - **Rubber Hose End Inner Diameter (ID)**: 1.6" - **Fits perfectly over 1-1/4” PVC pipe** - Flexible PVC with spring steel wire helix for structure - Two molded rubber hose ends included - No clamps or tools needed in most installs This design provides a **tight, tool-free seal** for most builds. --- ### How to Install the Vent Hose 1. **Locate the T-bar connector** on the back corner of your OGO™ ORIGIN. 2. **Push one rubber hose end onto the T-bar.** The tight fit ensures a secure seal. 3. **Attach the other end** to your exterior vent (like the OGO™ Shell Vent or 1-1/4” PVC outlet). That’s it—your system is now vented and ready to move air out of the solids bin continuously. --- ### Want to Shorten the Hose If the 3-foot length is too much, you can cut it down: 1. Use a utility knife to **slice through the plastic exterior** of the hose. 2. Use wire cutters to **cut the internal spring steel wire**. 3. **Remove and reuse the rubber hose ends**. 4. Reattach them using **strong adhesive** like Gorilla Glue for a durable hold. This lets you customize the fit while maintaining the original functionality. --- ### Need a Longer Hose We offer **additional vent hose by the foot**, custom cut to your required length: 🛒 Order Additional Vent Hose » - **Sold per foot** - Same OD (1.6825") and ID at the hose end (1.6") - Compatible with 1-1/4" PVC for easy extensions - Flexible, reinforced, and built for long-term durability - Add extra hose ends if needed for custom builds **Example**: Need a 25-foot hose? Your unit includes 3 feet—add 22 feet to your order. Our team will confirm your custom length and assemble your hose before shipping. **Note:** If you’re ordering hose separately from your toilet, be sure to include **2 hose ends** in your order for a complete fit. ![Vent Hose with TBar](https://learn.ogotoilet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Vent%20Hose%20with%20TBar.png?width=688&height=688&name=Vent%20Hose%20with%20TBar.png) --- ### Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Is this the same hose that comes with the OGO™ ORIGIN?** Yes. All extension hose is made from the exact same material and dimensions as the original. **Q: How do I measure how much I need?** Measure the distance from your toilet’s T-bar to your vent exit. Add a bit of slack for routing and turns. **Q: Does this connect directly to PVC?** Yes. The rubber ends fit snugly over standard 1-1/4” PVC pipe—no adapters required. **Q: Can I use another hose type?** We don’t recommend it. This hose is built for odor resistance, airflow, and durability—and fits our system perfectly. --- ### Final Word Venting your OGO™ ORIGIN is simple, but critical. Whether you’re using the standard 3-foot hose, shortening it, or extending it for a custom install, the OGO™ ventilation system is designed to keep air moving and compost working. **Precision fit.
