Installation of the ventilation system of the country toilet. Rules and schemes for arranging ventilation for a country house Exhaust ventilation for a bathroom and toilet: how to calculate the system design

Now few people build traditional huts with stoves, preferring modern engineering and architectural solutions. As the varied and inexhaustible mail shows, ventilation problems are in the mind of an ordinary owner country house occupy in best case 47th place (I hope I will not offend anyone with this statement). And psychologically, this is easily explained: if a city dweller has escaped the boundaries of the metropolis and found himself in nature, then he will be provided with fresh air by definition.

Agree, why spend on the fan in the bathroom while there is no one there? Nothing at all! Therefore, such fans are equipped with different (according to the principle of operation) sensors - movement, humidity, etc. In the toilet, for example, it is reasonable to connect the fan to the switch.


In the toilet, for example, it is wise to connect the fan to the switch. Photo from allwantsimg.com

However, even in such a seemingly simple thing there are some nuances. So, for obvious reasons, it is advisable to extend the operation of the toilet fan for 5-10 minutes after turning off the light. A simple time relay included in electrical circuit fan, will solve this delicate problem.

Wall fans remove air through channels provided in the walls during the construction of the house. If you are building a house again, then already in the project you should lay the possibility of optimal ventilation of the premises. To do this, it is better not to “scatter” on local ones, but to install them in the back room or in the attic. central exhaustfan, one for the whole cottage. It is connected to the exhaust objects by air ducts. For the central exhaust fan is structurally used centrifugal scheme, capable of "shoveling" air from several suction ducts. For such devices reduced level noise, and yet it is better to place them away from the bedroom and nursery.

We blow in both directions: supply and exhaust ventilation systems

It is difficult to find shortcomings in the considered systems in warm weather, but they are revealed with the advent of cold weather. The fact is that the air in winter goes inside without preheating. Of course, this leads to drafts and to local hypothermia of the rooms. Both in winter and in summer such systems not designed to clean the air from dust and odors. This set of shortcomings led to the creation of a more advanced systems supply and exhaust ventilation . It supplies the premises with a sufficient amount of purified and, if the weather requires it, heated fresh air. And the exhaust outputs with the help of fans.


The heat exchanger is the heart of the heat-saving ventilation system

It is reasonable to install such ventilation systems in houses next to freeways. They will not let the car stench poison the dacha life. Such an installation is also required in rooms with a pool. But creating a comfortable microclimate in them is a big separate topic, which we will not consider today.

To force the supply of fresh air, it is reasonable to use factory monoblock air handling units rather than being self-employed. Although creative and skilled gardeners may not agree with me. For this we respect them.

Installations are mounted in the attic or outside the house. After cleaning and heat treatment, the air enters the rooms through a network of air ducts. The location of the air ducts should also be provided at the design stage. Most often they are placed behind a false ceiling. And this "eats" 10-15 cm of the height of the room.

Often used in conjunction with a supply unit roof exhaust fan. Of course, the supply unit and the exhaust fan are required to “pull” synchronously, otherwise there will be high or low pressure in the country house.

Let's move on to serious technology. That is, not to the "clumsy" distillation of air from empty to empty, but to the careful use of the thermal energy accumulated in the house. This is a ventilation system based on an energy-saving air handling unit with a plate heat exchanger or a rotary heat exchanger.

Traditionally, the installation is mounted in the attic. For air exchange, 2 duct networks are constructed:

  1. The intake of air from the garden, as well as its delivery from the installation to the premises, is carried out via the network supply air ducts.
  2. From the premises, the air is returned to the supply unit.
  3. And then goes outside the building over the network return ducts.
The outlet cuts of the inlet and return ducts are the only visible elements of these complex engineering systems, the presence of which is easy to determine by design ventilation grilles.


Air handling units with a heat exchanger reduce the cost of supply air heating by 10-70%. They are based on a plate cross-flow heat exchanger - a package of thin metal plates, between which gaps are left. The air removed from the room flows into every second gap between the plates, and fresh air goes through the remaining channels. Since the plates are very thin, they easily transfer heat from a heated air stream to a colder one.

Air handling units with rotary heat exchangers imported - the pinnacle of ventilation with maximum energy savings. But they are quite expensive and have not yet received distribution in ordinary dachas.


However, I would like to end the article with an encouraging story about a remarkable domestic development worthy of being embodied in metal. It was created in industrial Omsk, at the Ecoterm enterprise. The installation is called UVRK-50. To understand the essence of her work, we can draw an analogy with how we breathe in severe frost - through a warm woolen scarf. When exhaling, part of the heat and moisture is given to it, and when inhaling, fresh air, passing through matter, absorbs heat and moisture and returns them to the body. This ensures ventilation of the lungs with optimal energy saving.

When using this system, teamwork two units in adjoining rooms. They alternately automatically turn on the different direction of flow and provide fresh clean air to an apartment of 60 square meters. m with minimal energy loss. Power consumption does not exceed 30 W, and the noise level is 42 dB.


The inlet openings of the installation are lined with gratings, located both in the interior and on the facade of the dacha.

The unsatisfactory, I would say ugly state of air in rooms with closed double-glazed windows inspired the development of this design by Siberian craftsmen. And although UVRK-50 was created for urban conditions, there are no restrictions for its use in summer cottages.


Here you have a suburban light version of supply and exhaust ventilation. Honor and praise to these engineers!

How is the ventilation in your country house?

The fetid odors from the country "birdhouses" - closets annoy not only the owners of the buildings, but also pester the neighbors. This explains the desire of summer residents to build such a latrine so that it is always clean, dry and comfortable in it, and unpleasant odors do not pester.

Toilet Ventilation: Possible Solutions

Traditional country toilet with simple ventilation

Since it is impossible to tightly close the pit with the processes of fermentation of fecal waste, the optimal solution to the problem is to organize productive air exchange of the "birdhouse" itself, usually made of brick or wood, and the pit under it. It is there that sewage decomposes under the influence of anaerobic bacteria, and methane is released. Air exchange is achieved through the proper arrangement of the toilet, as well as the competent selection and installation of devices for organizing air circulation.

Attention! For correct installation ventilation, even at the stage of drawing up a toilet drawing, its type and placement of functional units are indicated. The frequency of air exchange should prevent a dangerous concentration of methane and its vapor poisoning.

Do-it-yourself ventilation in the toilet in the country house can be done in two ways:

  1. The natural way. Air currents move by gravity, induced by the wind, arising from different air volumes in terms of pressure. Injection units are not used, energy is not wasted.
  2. mechanically. Fans, air heaters, etc. are used to move air.

Closet ventilation without the use of mechanical devices


The scheme of the simplest ventilation in a country / rural toilet

In a compact toilet cubicle, the window plays the role of a source of light penetration during the day and serves as an opening for air to move through it. Despite the fact that the geometry of the window, the shape is selected according to the individual preferences of the owner, there are several points that you need to pay attention to:

  • The window should be "in work" all the time. To do this, you do not need to glass it. If the closet is operated in cold weather, air flows can be minimized by covering the opening with a sheet of plywood.
  • An open hole will be protected from snow and rain getting into it, if placed as close as possible to the roof, under the very visor.
  • When arranging an additional hole for ventilation, it is best to cut it in the toilet door (lower part) or in one of the walls.
  • Protection in the form of mesh, gauze, curtains will prevent insects from entering the toilet.
  • Installing a toilet bowl involves supplying an extract to it through the floor or connecting a pipe to the toilet bowl.
  • For better circulation, slotted holes disguised as gratings are arranged in the lower part of the walls of the building.

Natural pit hood


Pit toilet ventilation scheme

Having provided the hood cesspool, you can remove the gas accumulating in it outside the toilet (to the atmosphere), and not into the booth. You need to perform such a withdrawal in this order:

  • A hole of the desired section is formed in the pit.
  • According to the height of the back wall of the toilet, where the hood will be located, dowels and clamps or brackets are fixed.
  • A pipe is installed (asbestos-cement or PVC with a diameter of 100 mm). Its length is taken taking into account the height of the toilet and the maximum possible filling level of the pit.
  • A deflector is attached to the top. Its diameter must be identical to the pipe section.

Economical septic tanks for summer cottages with a cesspool from a barrel

The decision to use storage tanks as a cesspool can only be considered effective when the ventilation in the toilet in the country house from a barrel in the form of a ventilation pipe is at least 100 mm in cross section. It is removed above the ground by 0.5 m and removes the accumulated methane. In the absence of ventilation, the processes occurring inside the barrel can break it. With a relatively low efficiency and dependence on climate, weather, such toilets in summer cottages are popular due to their simple installation and cost-free operation.

Natural supply and exhaust method


The pipe can be output in this way

A greater effect on removing stench from the cesspool is achieved with natural supply and exhaust ventilation. In addition to the installed toilet bowl, some summer residents make another hole in the floor. Through these two inlets, air enters the pit, and leaves through the mounted pipe. It turns out two branches: from the closet and the pit. They are made from gray pvc pipes section 100 mm. The pipe must be calculated in length so that one end falls into the pit, and the other (upper) rises 0.3 above the roof. It is this height that should provide sufficient air removal power. With its lack, you can apply methods to increase traction in the pipe:

  • Steal in a dark (preferably black) color exhaust pipe. Here the air duct rises slightly above the roof of the closet. The attracted rays of the sun heat the chimney and urge unpleasant odors to rise upwards.
  • The pipe is also heated with the help of a light bulb placed in it.
  • Install an exhaust device at the end of the outer part of the pipe (hood) to suck air from the booth. A puff of side wind creates air pressure between the pipe and the deflector, increasing traction.

For information! One way to reduce or even eliminate the penetration of stench into the toilet cubicle is to place the pit and cubicle at some distance. Laid between them sewage pipe connect the toilet in the "birdhouse" and the cesspool. The use of a tee makes it possible to install a ventilation pipe. For the disposal of sewage with such an organization of air exchange, a water supply is required.

Forced ventilation


The top of the ventilation pipe must be protected by a visor

A do-it-yourself mounted mechanical hood in the toilet in the country house will be more effective if:

  • forced exchange takes place in the booth, but not in the pit;
  • unpleasant odors, fumes are continuously removed;
  • circulation provides the required air exchange rate;
  • the power plant works regardless of the weather and seasons.

Significant "cons" - dependence on electricity and significant capital investments.

The organization of ventilation of the latrine with a ventilation device installed in the same window and connected by a cable to the mains is one of the types of forced air exchange. To control the air supply, you must also install a switch. The wiring is insulated from moisture penetration. It is laid on the outer side of the structure along the roof from the attic near standing house. The fan power of 30 W in the window opening is sufficient for small booth dimensions (about 2 sq.m.). Depending on the shape and size of the window opening, the installation model is also selected. It is necessary not to forget to close the channels (exhaust, supply) with a protective mesh or grille. The fan connected to the network is checked in operation.

As for the septic pit, there is not enough fresh air in its closed volume. Therefore, a forced ventilation system is not placed directly in the pit. A fan is installed in the lowered pipe. He creates a breakdown. Air suction goes through the cabin.

It can be made easier. You will need to install a low-power duct fan in the hood: only 3 - 5 watts. The sensor regulates the speed of rotation of the blades. It is mounted directly inside the toilet. The desired speed of the exhaust air (thrust) is manually adjusted.

What type of ventilation for a country toilet to choose - everyone decides, based on financial capabilities, expediency of use.

How to make a ventilation hood in the toilet in the country and at home with your own hands

It would seem - why in the country ventilation? There is plenty of fresh air around, just open the windows and breathe! An - no. There is no way to avoid drafts, and there is no way to control the air flow. Most country houses are mothballed for the winter. “Visiting” cottages for the New Year holidays, many owners feel a musty atmosphere and heavy air, the smell of mold. This is the result of a lack of air exchange, so ventilation in country house needed.

In ancient times, when houses were built entirely of logs, no one thought about how to make ventilation in the country. Because the "live" wood passed fresh air from the street through itself. He penetrated into the window cracks, and into the caulked joints between the logs. Unplastered walls maintained optimum humidity and temperature. An important element of the ventilation of the country house was the stove. Exhaust air was drawn through the chimney.

Thus, the design of a house built according to old models implies natural ventilation.

The toilet in the country also needs ventilation, especially if the cottage is used all year round, and faeces accumulate in the cesspool. How to make effective ventilation in your favorite country house, spending a minimum of money?

Stoves and fireplaces for ventilation of small cottages

Natural ventilation oven

Modern execution of ancient building technologies: it is one storey building from a bar, with a fireplace or a stove and always wooden window frames. Such a country house is ventilated perfectly without special investments.

wall material will not let the summer heat into the rooms. In winter, the stove will serve as a hood and a heater at the same time. But in order to assemble such a dacha ventilation system with your own hands, you will need the skills of a stove-maker.

A good option for ventilation in the country can be a fireplace. The air flow will go through the cracks in the frames or open windows (if the windows are made of plastic). Blowing - through the chimney.

At the same time, the problem of heating is also solved for country house used all year round.

Such a system is suitable for a building made of any materials, a small area and used mainly in the warm season.

Mechanical dacha ventilation system

Scheme of mechanical ventilation

In the country, mechanical ventilation is justified in the following cases:

  • large house;
  • house 2 or 3 storey;
  • house built by frame technology excluding natural air exchange.

Forced-type ventilation in a country house can be done completely mechanical or combined.

The combined system is easier to install, it will cost less, including during operation.

Forced air outflow

The supply part of the combined ventilation of a country house can be equipped with your own hands.

If the windows are plastic, supply valves are installed in them. These devices are on sale, they are inexpensive. Exist various models window inlets. They are attached to the upper crossbar of the window sash.

The supply valve can be inserted directly into the wall of the house. This is a fairly simple mechanism, consisting of a pipe for which you will have to make a hole with a diameter of 5 cm and a damper that regulates the intensity of the air supply. In winter, the damper is closed as much as possible to avoid cooling the room. You should not buy complex valves with filters, because clean country air does not need to be cleaned.

Air outflow is provided mechanically. And only skilled craftsmen can handle this work of installing ventilation in a country house with their own hands. Exhaust ducts are extended from places of the greatest air pollution (for example, kitchens) to the attic. An exhaust fan is installed here, which throws the exhaust air out. A negative pressure is created in the house, due to which fresh air is drawn through the supply valves.

Cons of mechanical extraction:

  • during a long absence of the owners, the house remains without ventilation;
  • ventilation ducts need to be hidden under beams or boxes;
  • additional power consumption for air extraction;
  • it is desirable to select structural elements with the help of a professional.

It is better to entrust the calculation of the thickness of the air ducts and the fan power to a fan engineer.

Forced air supply

You can go the more expensive way by equipping your own hands with a forced air supply to the cottage ventilation system.

An air handling unit is installed at a level of 2 meters from the soil surface. The air from the street is collected in the chamber, where it is heated (if necessary) and supplied to the rooms by a fan.

There are two ways to heat the air:

  • electric heater;
  • heating pipe.

The second is much more practical, but it must be designed simultaneously with the planning of the heating system. The outflow is provided by ventilation vents in the kitchen, bathroom or toilet (if they are located in the house).

Do-it-yourself supply ventilation of the cottage

Air flows at supply ventilation at home

Do-it-yourself construction of forced ventilation of a summer house is a complex and rather expensive process. But some craftsmen, thinking about how the ventilation of the dacha is done, come to original solutions. The air supply is carried out with the help of an air intake. It is mounted from the north wall. The installation consists of a pair of duct fans and two pipes through which air enters the body of an old but sealed refrigerator. Here, 2 radiators from the car are connected, connected to the recuperator. 2 - 4 pipes are sent to each room of the cottage (depending on the power of the installation and the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room) with ventilation grilles. Supply grilles are placed 0.2 - 0.3 m from the floor.

The outflow of air is carried out in a natural way. High blood pressure inside the rooms squeezes air into the corridors, kitchens and bathrooms. Ventilation pipes are equipped here.

Prudent owners use the exhausted warm air in cold weather to heat the greenhouse. Those who want to take advantage of their experience will have to run the ventilation pipe not up through the roof, but in the direction of the greenhouse. The air will be evacuated forcibly by the “snail” pump.

Country house floor ventilation

To ensure good ventilation of the country house, you should also take care of air exchange in the underground. Ventilation of the floor in the country house protects it from decay and the whole house from distortions, prolonging the service life.

If the basement is not planned, the ventilation of the floor of the country cottage is provided by a system of vents (holes) in the basement. Most often, country houses are built with basements. The vents are left at different heights of the plinth, which improves the movement of air flows. The size of the vents is usually 10 x 15 cm. The number of holes is calculated depending on the terrain, the architecture of the building, the wind rose and the climate.

Floor ventilation wooden dachas consists of wall grilles that are mounted above the floor vents (also called ventilation sockets).

The grate must be placed at the junction between the boards.

In this way, it is possible to make a recess in a smaller board, so the strength of the floor does not suffer.

Before installing sockets, you should definitely calculate the air flow pattern, which depends on the arrangement, type and power of heating devices.

Do not lay carpets, cabinets or sofas on top of the grilles for ventilation of the country floor.

To improve the movement of air in the subfield of a country house, ventilation plinths will also help.

Holes are drilled in the baseboards through which air circulates freely from the room to the basement. This is a simple and affordable method of building ventilation in a country house with your own hands. The holes in the baseboards should be up to 1.5 cm in diameter. They are installed along opposite walls. Sometimes a ventilation plinth is required on only one side of the room, and a ventilation pipe is used to ensure sufficient air movement. Its exit is located 1.5 meters above the roof.

Try to make such ventilation of a country house with your own hands, just ask a specialist to make the necessary calculations.

Do-it-yourself ventilation in the country toilet

Scheme of ventilation of a country toilet

Most country toilets are built like a cesspool, which has a serious drawback - these are fetid gases that appear as a result of fermentation of feces. It is impossible to hermetically close the pit, so ventilation is necessary in the country toilet.

You can do all the work on installing the ventilation of the toilet in the country with your own hands. The ventilation of a country toilet is usually a single pipe leading from a pit along the back wall of the toilet. It ends 75 cm above the roof level. Pipes made of PVC or asbestos cement with a diameter of 10 cm are used. Metal brackets are convenient as fasteners.

A special hole for ventilation is provided in the cesspool, where the pipe is installed even before concreting. However, sometimes such a ventilation scheme for a country toilet is not always effective and odors penetrate into the cabin. Can be assembled with my own hands ventilation of the cabin of the country toilet. To do this, you need to purchase:

  • two pieces of PVC pipe 0.5 m and 2 m with a diameter of 11 cm;
  • 90 degree corner connection;
  • umbrella or deflector;
  • decorative lattice;
  • fixture.

The exhaust hole for ventilation of the toilet in the country is drilled in the wall, as close as possible to the roof. The diameter of the hole must match the diameter of the pipe. The pipes are connected with a corner, a short piece is inserted into the hole. An extra piece of pipe from the inside of the room is sawn off. A deflector or umbrella is put on the upper cut of a long pipe, using a level, it is necessary to check the vertical position of the pipe, after which it is attached to the wall with long screws and clamps. A ventilation grill is installed at the outlet of the pipe inside the toilet. To prevent blowing into the slots, they are filled with silicone or polyurethane foam.

To ensure the flow of clean air into the booth, a small hole is made on the opposite wall (from the one where the exhaust pipe was inserted). It should be no higher than 0.2 m from the floor level and covered with decorative ventilation grilles.

Outdoor toilet ventilation will work according to the following principle: fresh cool air penetrates into the booth, rises up along with unpleasant odors and goes out into the street. But before you make the ventilation of the toilet cubicle in the country, you need to take care of the removal of gases from the cesspool. Otherwise, do-it-yourself ventilation of the country toilet will not be effective enough to deal with the stench.

Ventilation in the country toilet

During the construction of a toilet and a shower in a suburban area, we missed the moment when it was necessary to make ventilation in the country toilet. After six months of operation of this important facility, we decided to correct this oversight.

Ventilation issues in the design of the country toilet and shower were taken into account, but not the cabins, but the cesspool. We removed a ventilation pipe from it, through which an unpleasant smell was supposed to go out into the street. But, perhaps, the room is made airtight, or the seat cover does not close tightly, but there were sometimes extraneous smells in the cabin of the country toilet. To get rid of them, we decided to ventilate the country toilet, directly to the cabin itself.

WE MAKE VENTILATION OF THE COUNTRY TOILET

For the ventilation device we need: sewer plastic pipes with a diameter of 110 mm, a length of 2 m and 50 cm, a connecting angle of 90 degrees, an umbrella to protect against precipitation, a decorative ventilation grill, clamps.

The first step in the wall of the building is to drill a large diameter hole for ventilation. Since we built the country toilet from a board 20 mm thick, in order to cut through it, we need a metal cutting crown with a diameter of 120 mm. We mark the place where the exhaust hole will be located (according to the law of physics, warm air rises from the bottom up, so the hood must be done in the upper part of the room), fix the crown on the drill and drill 2 holes, outside the country toilet and inside the cabin. After a window appeared for a few seconds, we admire the winter landscape of the Russian village and continue to work further.

We connect the pipes to each other using a 90 degree transitional corner. Insert the resulting structure into the hole, make a mark with a pencil and cut off the excess from a short piece of pipe. Now we will fix the ventilation system on the wall of the building. The distance between them is 13 cm. To fix the connecting clamp, take a piece of metal-plastic, cut it 13 cm long (it will be used as a stop between the clamp and the wall of the country toilet) and fasten it to the wall using a 15 cm self-tapping screw. We will also fasten the second clamp.
We snap the ventilation pipes into the fixtures, not forgetting to put an umbrella on top from natural precipitation. Check the system vertical with building level.

In continuation of the work, we will fasten the ventilation grill inside the room to a couple of screws. The gaps between the pipe and the wall can be filled with mounting foam or cover up silicone sealant.

Now let's drill a hole in the wall from below for access to the fresh air toilet to make a small draft in the cubicle.

Close it on both sides decorative grilles by screwing them onto the screws.
Fresh air, entering from below into the room through the ventilation window, rises up and exits through the hood, taking with it extraneous odors.

This completes the installation of the ventilation system for the country toilet. The unpleasant smell from the cabin will now go outside.

Types and features of ventilation in the country toilet

You have your own summer cottage and it is imperative to build a toilet on it. Whatever type of toilet you choose, whether it is built of wood or brick, the issue of creating a ventilation system always remains relevant. Ventilation in a country toilet is a rather important point and it is necessary to approach its creation with all seriousness.

A toilet that is separate from other buildings should not cause inconvenience not only to its owners, but also to neighbors. Most often, these problems are associated with unpleasant odors that spread several meters around him. We want to tell you how to get rid of all these odors. Toilet on suburban area must always be kept clean, but guarantees that it will not contain odors are unlikely, so it is important to do good ventilation, which will ventilate the air well and not cause inconvenience to you and your neighbors.

What types of ventilation are there?

Ventilation in the country toilet is of two types:

  • natural;
  • Artificial.

The first type is provided without any additional mechanisms or devices, but as a result of natural processes: it depends not only on the direction of the air flow, but also on internal and external pressure.

But forced ventilation in the toilet is provided only with the help of special systems, this also applies to those that are connected to electricity. If you decide to build a toilet yourself, then you can handle ventilation without the help of a professional.

natural ventilation

You can equip the natural type with the help of a window or a special hole, which is located at the bottom of one of the walls. If you decide to make a window, then place it as close to the roof as possible or equip it with a special visor. This is necessary in order to protect your building from rain, leaves and dirt getting inside.

It will also be appropriate to cover it with a mosquito net to keep insects out. And if you want not only to make a window, but also an additional hole in the wall, then make it at the bottom of the door or in the wall. Be sure to cover this hole with a special grate.

forced type

Forced ventilation, also called artificial, is created using a special pipe or duct that supplies fresh air to the room and removes an unpleasant odor. You can choose any pipe made of metal or plastic. One end of it should be lowered into the pit, and the other should rise a couple of meters above the roof. It is best if the pipe is installed outside the building. If you installed a toilet in a toilet on the street, then the pipe must be passed through a hole in the floor or attached to the toilet, and if you have a toilet with a pit, then it is better to carry out ventilation to it.

A box that provides good ventilation and a sufficient supply of fresh air inside the cabin is a special fan. For such a small structure, it is necessary to choose it with a power of no more than 5W. The fan is installed inside the pipe, so that the sensor responsible for the rotation speed is inside the cabin.

How to make a hood in the toilet from the boards?

In our modern time, many owners of private houses are trying to equip their houses with a bathroom, but there are also those who, in the old fashioned way, put wooden toilets on the site. So that you and your neighbors are not disturbed by extraneous odors emanating from it, it is necessary to make good ventilation.

Ventilation in a wooden country toilet is done according to a simple scheme, most often the owners choose a natural type. They equip the booth with a window or a hole in the wall. If someone is not satisfied with this type, then a forced system can also be made, no great forces and special skills are required. Everyone can install the pipe, the main thing is to correctly direct one end into the cesspool, and raise the other a couple of meters up above the roof of the cabin.

Hood in a brick cabin

Ventilation in a brick country toilet can also be both natural and artificial, you can equip a window in the wall or make a hole in it closer to the floor. Or, as in the previous case, equip it with a ventilation pipe, into which a fan was previously inserted. But let's take a closer look at how to make ventilation in the toilet on your own without the help of a specialist and so that it is effective and durable?

If you are about to start building a toilet on your personal plot, separate from other buildings, then you need at the initial stage construction works take care of ventilation. Before removing the walls of the building, make a ventilation pipe for the pit. With its help, you can protect not only yourself, but also your neighbors from extraneous odors that go out into the street, and not gather in a booth. But you should also take care of ventilation inside the building, if the building is solid, with tightly closing doors, and the lid most often remains open, then all unpleasant odors will accumulate inside.

Installation of the ventilation system

Do-it-yourself ventilation in the toilet is a simple matter, the main thing is to correctly calculate and install everything. In order to install special ventilation pipes, you just need to purchase a plastic pipe with a diameter of 100 mm in a hardware store. You will also need a 90 degree connecting angle. Do not forget about a protective metal or plastic umbrella that will protect your ventilation from dust, dirt and precipitation. Also, a special grille may be suitable for these purposes.

You need to make a hole in one of the walls, it will serve as the basis for your future ventilation system. Everyone knows that warm air always rises, so it is more expedient to install the hood at the highest point.

Ventilation installation

You have already made a hole, now you need to install a pipe, if you have more than one pipe, but several, then you can connect them together using transitional corners, now install assembled structure into the prepared hole. Excess parts can be cut off. Be sure to fix the ventilation system to the wall, special clamps are suitable for this purpose. Put an umbrella on top of the pipe to protect it from moisture and debris.

Inside you can put a grate, so your ventilation system is ready. Now cover all the cracks and defects on the wall. Slots can be sealed with mounting foam or sealant, and covered with cement on top.

But that's not all, in order for your ventilation to work and give the desired result, you need to create an additional draft that will help bring odors out. Therefore, you additionally need to make a hole at the bottom of one of the walls. After that, do not forget to close it with a decorative grill, in this way you can create ideal conditions for the operation of your ventilation system.

  1. Before building a country toilet, choose the right place, it is best if it is longer from buildings and located in a lowland.
  2. When making ventilation, it is better to calculate everything in advance and do all the steps without missing anything, only in this case you can be sure that extraneous odors will not bother you and your neighbors.
  3. best material a tree is used for a country toilet, since thanks to the gaps between the boards, additional ventilation can be created, but still this will not be enough, so supplement the building with forced ventilation.
  4. Today, construction stores offer a wide range of modern forced hoods, for example, you can buy a decorative grille with a fan built into it. This wonderful device can be easily built into your country toilet and thus equipped with a high-quality ventilation system. And this is not all the opportunities that manufacturers offer their consumers.

Our article talked about how to properly install and design ventilation in an outdoor toilet. There is nothing difficult in installation, so each owner country house will be able to independently carry out the installation, and thanks to the manufacturers, you can purchase new ultra-modern ventilation systems that will help to efficiently remove odors and deliver a fresh smell to the toilet. Properly installed ventilation will allow you to be near the toilet and not feel its close presence.

Crafts for giving from waste material do it yourself

So that there is no smell in the country toilet, you need to properly ventilate the outdoor toilet and use special agent to remove the smell in the toilet. In order to make ventilation in the toilet, you need to prepare in advance plastic pipes with a diameter of 110 mm and a length of 2.5 meters, a connecting corner for plastic pipes with a diameter of 110 mm, a rain protection umbrella, ventilation decorative grilles and clamps. Holes need to be drilled in the back and front walls so that a plastic pipe can squeeze through them, so to speak, the ventilation of the summer toilet. To do this, you can use a jigsaw or a special crown with a diameter of 120 mm. In the back wall, you need to drill a hole in the upper part to which the ventilation of the outdoor toilet will be attached through which the air will exit the toilet.

Entrance ventilation of the toilet in the country

In the front wall, you need to drill a hole in the lower part to which the ventilation of the country toilet will be attached through which clean air will enter the toilet. On this drilled hole Ventilation grilles are attached to the front wall from the outside and from the inside. We insert a small piece of pipe into the drilled hole in the back wall, put a corner on it from the outside. To the back wall of the toilet outside above the hole we attach the clamps on which the pipe will be held.


Ventilation device in the toilet of a private house

Cut off another piece of plastic pipe so that one edge is inserted into the corner, and the other edge rises at least 40 cm above the toilet. You must remember to put an umbrella on top of the pipe so that precipitation does not fall into the pipe. Inside the toilet on the back wall, the protruding pipe must be cut flush with the wall and closed with a decorative ventilation grill.


With the help of ventilation, you can get rid of the smell in the street toilet

The gaps between the wall and the pipe in the rear wall must be foamed with mounting foam or covered with silicone sealant. Clean air will enter the toilet from the bottom and, after passing through the entire toilet, will exit to the top. air vent located on the back wall of the toilet and will remove odors from it. In this way, you can remove the smell from the outdoor toilet.


Ventilation for the toilet works due to supply and exhaust draft

For a more comfortable visit to the toilet, you need to remove the smell in the toilet in the country. To do this, you can use a special odor remover in the toilet in the country, which removes unpleasant odors. The remedy for the smell in the country toilet is released in the form of a tablet or in a powder or liquid state. Almost any anti-odor agent for an outdoor toilet is designed to process a pit with a volume of 1.5 cubic meters.


Toilet odor absorber Tamir

The microbiological preparation Tamir is sold in a liquid state of 30 ml. To get rid of the smell in the village toilet, you need to pour the liquid into the pit. If the liquid is poured into a previously cleaned pit, then after 2 weeks the waste residues will disappear and it will be possible to remove the smell from the toilet on the street. This toilet odor eliminator is used not only to eliminate odor, but also to speed up the recycling of household waste, weeds, sewer cleaning.


toilet odor pills

Bioactivator "Expel" is produced in the form of tablets that contain concentrated cultures of bacteria. These outdoor toilet tablets eliminate odor and also break down fecal matter into salt, water and carbon dioxide. Toilet odor pills only work in liquid, so if there is no water in the pit, you need to pour some water into it. To eliminate the smell in a village toilet, you will need to throw 1 tablet into the pit every two weeks.


The odor neutralizer for the toilet is called the Green Pack

The green package means for country toilets is produced in the form of a powder weighing 30 g. The composition of the bag includes bacteria and microorganisms that will help get rid of the smell in a public toilet, and they also decompose fecal matter very quickly.

This video shows how to get rid of the smell of the toilet in the country by making a ventilation system.

In the view of many, a country toilet is a cabin that is located somewhere in the garden, there is an unpleasant smell there, and you don’t really want to go there. But now this is far from the case, many equip them comfortably enough, but for some reason the smell remains, what to do with it? Ventilation of the country toilet will help to cope with this problem.

Let's move on to a more detailed consideration of the issue.

Toilet outside, what and why

In order to deal with ventilation in a country toilet, you must first find out how it works. In most cases, its structure is as follows:

  1. Cabin we can watch
  2. Cesspool located underground.

The main reason for the occurrence bad smell in the cabin is precisely the cesspool. This is due to the accumulation of waste in it, which, as a result of their accumulation, produce gas (methane), and it, in turn, rises to the top. If you do not make ventilation in the street toilet, then you can bring everything to the point that a person who will go into the cubicle out of need may become ill. In addition, after a long exposure to methane on the material from which the structure is made, the toilet begins to collapse. This moment can lead to the fact that at one point the user of the toilet can fall into the cesspool, which will lead to death if he is not quickly rescued.

To avoid this, experts advise taking into account the ventilation system at the design stage. It will allow timely removal of methane to the outside, thereby preventing it from affecting the structure and getting from the pit to the booth.

Types of country toilets

Classic variant

They can be divided into two main types:

  1. The cabin is located above the cesspool
  2. Cesspool near the cabin.

Most often you can find the first option. It is easier to make, and you do not need to think about how the waste will fall into the pit. But this method is good to use if you rarely use such a toilet.

If it acts as the main one, then it is better to do as suggested in the second option. But in this case, you will have to conduct plumbing into the booth, or make a drainage system that is convenient for you.

Ventilation system

You are already familiar with how the country toilet is arranged, let's move on to the arrangement of the hood. Now in the world there are two main options:

  1. Natural
  2. Forced ventilation.

The first is based on the natural movement of air. And the second needs additional equipment in the form of a fan. Both of these systems are united by two identical points:

  1. The need for supply and exhaust channels
  2. Installation of a cesspool hood.

Pit hood

Let us consider in more detail the methods of ventilation.

Forced system

To date, this ventilation option is considered the most effective. It copes much faster with the removal of exhaust air in any room. But you have to pay for speed and convenience. The price will rise due to the purchase of a fan and all additional materials required for its installation (wires, switches, etc.).

Advantages and disadvantages:

  • Quick withdrawal of accumulations in the air
  • Works efficiently regardless of weather conditions
  • Mounting is more difficult than a natural ventilation system
  • Doesn't work without electricity
  • Relatively high price
  • Requires periodic replacement of parts.

Despite the disadvantages, if you want to have perfectly clean air in your cabin, then we advise you to opt for this option.

Fan

natural system

This option is suitable for those people who do not bother much about the unpleasant smell. He, of course, is not as effective as the previous method, but still copes with his duties. The accumulated gas will be removed from the booth, normalizing its amount. Natural ventilation does not require any additional equipment which makes this method very cheap.

Pros and cons:

  • Cheapness
  • Ease of installation
  • Low efficiency
  • Weather dependent.

You can't do that

Installation

Let's start with one of the common and necessary points, like a hood in a cesspool. It is necessary to remove the accumulated gas into the atmosphere, and not into the toilet cubicle. In order to make it, you will need:

  1. Shovel
  2. Pipe, its length depends on the height of the cabin and the thickness of the soil under which the cesspool is located, the diameter should be about 110 mm
  3. Hammer drill or drill, it all depends on what material the booth construction is made of
  4. Sewn-in material to avoid damage to the pipe where it passes through the ground
  5. Gutter mounts
  6. Deflector, to improve the performance of the system.

How to install

Installation of a cesspool hood is quite simple. Let's consider everything in stages:

  1. It is necessary to dig a hole of the desired diameter in the cesspool
  2. Fasten water drains along the rear wall of the cabin
  3. Install exhaust pipe
  4. Attach deflector.

Important! The fan must not be installed in a pipe. This can lead to unpleasant consequences.

Installation of natural ventilation

We have already figured out how to make a hood in the cesspool, it remains to do the same in the booth. For this you will need:

  1. Perforator
  2. Protective ventilation grill.

The principle is this - it is necessary to make two holes, an exhaust near the ceiling, a window for lighting can also play its role, and a supply one, it is located at the bottom of the booth. It is important that they are on opposite sides.

After this is done, protective gratings should be fixed at the entrance and exit, in order to prevent living creatures and debris from entering the room.

Forced ventilation installation

Exhaust fan

As mentioned earlier, this the best option make good air circulation. In order to carry out the installation, you will need:

  1. Screwdriver and pliers
  2. Perforator or drill
  3. Fan
  4. cable with protective coating from the rain
  5. Switch
  6. Protective grid.

Since the fan is the main power plant, let's dwell on this moment. Standard outdoor toilet cubicles have an area close to 2 square meters. To provide such a room with a good hood, a device with a power of 30 watts will be enough.

Let's go directly to the installation. First you need to supply power, for this we will use a previously purchased cable. We also make holes for the supply and exhaust channels, the principle is the same as in natural ventilation. We fix the fan in the exhaust hole, connect it to the power supply. It remains only to install protective grilles on the supply and output channels.

Now you are fully familiar with the process of installing ventilation in a country toilet. It is recommended to take this point into account during the design of the structure. Fresh air for you.

Do-it-yourself ventilation in the country bathroom

During the construction of a toilet and a shower in a suburban area, we missed the moment when it was necessary to make ventilation in the country toilet. After six months of operation of this important facility, we decided to correct this oversight.

Ventilation issues in the project were taken into account, but not the cabins, but the cesspool. We removed a ventilation pipe from it, through which an unpleasant smell was supposed to go out into the street. But, perhaps, the room is made airtight, or the seat cover does not close tightly, but there were sometimes extraneous smells in the cabin of the country toilet. To get rid of them, we decided to ventilate the country toilet, directly to the cabin itself.

WE MAKE VENTILATION OF THE COUNTRY TOILET

For the ventilation device, we will need: sewer plastic pipes with a diameter of 110 mm, a length of 2 m and 50 cm, a connecting angle of 90 degrees, an umbrella to protect against precipitation, a decorative ventilation grill, clamps.

First of all, in the wall of the building you need to drill for ventilation. Since we built the country toilet from a board 20 mm thick, in order to cut through it, we need a metal cutting crown with a diameter of 120 mm.

We mark the place where the exhaust hole will be located (according to the law of physics, warm air rises from the bottom up, so the hood must be done in the upper part of the room), fix the crown on the drill and drill 2 holes, outside the country toilet and inside the cabin.

Through the appeared porthole n We admire the winter landscape of the Russian village for a few seconds and continue to work further.

We connect the pipes to each other using a 90 degree transitional corner. Insert the resulting structure into the hole, make a mark with a pencil and cut off the excess from a short piece of pipe.

Now we will fix the ventilation system on the wall of the building. The distance between them is 13 cm. To fix the connecting clamp, take a piece of metal-plastic, cut it 13 cm long (it will be used as a stop between the clamp and the wall of the country toilet) and fasten it to the wall using a 15 cm self-tapping screw. We will also fasten the second clamp.

We snap the ventilation pipes into the fixtures, not forgetting to put an umbrella on top from natural precipitation.

Let's check the vertical of the system using the building level.

In continuation of the work, we fasten the ventilation grill inside the room with a couple of self-tapping screws.

The gaps between the pipe and the wall can be filled with mounting foam

or cover with silicone sealant.

Now let's drill a hole in the wall from below for access to the fresh air toilet to make a small draft in the cubicle.

We will close it on both sides with decorative grilles, screwing them onto self-tapping screws.

Fresh air, entering from below into the room through the ventilation window, rises up and exits through the hood, taking with it extraneous odors.

This completes the installation of the ventilation system for the country toilet.

The unpleasant smell from the cabin will now go outside. If you liked the article, share it on social networks.
