A manual gas vent assembly is provided herein for use in venting gas from the interior of a conventional unvented ostomy collection pouch. In such assembly, the manual gas venting assembly is used for venting gas from the interior of a conventional unvented ostomy pouch after a hole has been punctured through the wall of the ostomy collection pouch to permit the insertion of the valve assembly therethrough. The valve assembly includes a valve assembly having an open position which permits gas to pass therethrough, and a closed position, which prevents gases from passing therethrough, the valve assembly having an externally-threaded input portion for communicating with the interior of the ostomy collection pouch, and an output portion for communicating with atmosphere. The valve assembly also includes mounting means for mounting the valve assembly into the hole through the wall of the ostomy collection pouch, the wall being essentially uniform prior to the mounting of the valve assembly. The mounting means releasably retains therein a portion of the valve assembly so as to position the input portion of the valve assembly proximate the stoma of the user. The mounting means includes an internal retainer which is disposed in the interior of the ostomy collection pouch, the internal retainer being threaded for receiving and removably securing the threaded input portion of the valve assembly, and means for sealing the internal retainer to the wall of the ostomy collection pouch.
