BAKER BRICK BAKER BRICK BARRIER BARRIER BAKER BRICK BARRIER The Easy Solution to Stained Walls Resulting from Condensate Drippage TM

INTRODUCING Introduction guiding the condensate water ingenious in its effectiveness in Although simple in design, it is condensate drainage lines. w a t e r d r a i n i n g t h r o u g h often occurs from mineralized commercial buildings which outside walls of residential and and mineral staining on the that prevents unsightly water simple HVAC drainage accessory The Baker Brick Barrier™ is a Pipes ™ Drainage Condensate Existing Pipes Pipes Drainage Drainage Condensate Condensate Existing Existing BAKER BRICK BARRIER away from the wall.

Who Created the Baker Brick Barrier location the pipe comes out of the wall. So the Mr. Baker decided to move forward in creating a viable not �nding anything that matched his product vision, research about possible similar application items and installs which use external piping. After conducting existing condensate pipes as well as with any new device which could be used as a retro�t with the considering the most functional and cost effective proverbial light bulb went off, and Mr. Baker began – brown stain all the way down the wall from the The Baker Brick Barrier was conceived of and created by from condensate pipes often leave a very ugly reddish travels and routes, he has noticed that the drippings complexes and more places than he can count. In those commercial buildings, retail establishments, office mail to single family homes, multi-family structures, During that time, he has had the opportunity to deliver variety of routes in his 15years with the Postal Service. employee, Nathaniel Baker. Mr. Baker has traveled a a keen eyed and creative United States Postal Service product to alleviate this problem.

Prototype Development of the concept. Current Prototype Prototype Current Current Prototype Wooden Original Prototype Prototype Wooden Wooden Original Original to validate the functionality After some initial rudimentary sketches, Mr. Baker advancing his prototype to a more engaged a professional wood worker to assist him in constructing the Baker Brick Barrier in a �rst “wooden” prototype. After evaluating this initial design, Mr. Baker re�ned his thinking and engaged a product development �rm to assist him in �nished, workable stage. In allowed “in the �eld” testing considering the easiest way to address the application in conjunction with Mr. Baker's existing iteration, the product development �rm, at Mr. Baker's direction, constructed a Baker Brick Barrier to speci�cations that Prototype

How it Works and out the Baker Brick Barrier, the innovative “tongue” Baker Brick Barrier De�ecting Condensate De�ecting Condensate Baker Brick Barrier Baker Brick Barrier ground. That is it! de�ects the drippings away from the wall and onto the condensate pipe. As condensate runs through the pipe The Baker Brick Barrier is exterior opening of the simply placed around the Baker Brick Barrier is that, it is so simple.” The to say “why didn't I think of viewed in use, one is likely func tion, that once so simple in its design and De�ecting Condensate

Prototype Testing Attaching BB to Pipe No Wall No Wall Staining Staining No Wall Staining Attaching BB to Pipe Attaching BB to Pipe unsightly staining and often laborious Condensate Condensate Pipe with Pipe with Brick Barrier Brick Barrier Condensate Pipe with and unsuccessful removal of the staining. that the Baker Brick Barrier prevents In order to conduct a �rst simulation of the condensate the “condensate pipe.” To create the pipe protruding from a wall, Mr. Baker created a physical wall of corrugated plastic material with an appropriate diameter “condensate pipe” running through and extending beyond the wall at a 90 degree angle at the length as measured on an actual building. The Baker Brick Barrier was then attached to effect of the condensate or water on Mr. Baker’s �ndings, he is con�dent coming through the pipe, a siphon pump was placed in the back side of the pvc “condensate pipe,” and water was run through the pipe. After multiple trials at differing volumes , Mr. Baker observed that none of the water “hit” the wall; thus no staining would have occurred. Based Brick Barrier

Simplicity of Manufacture Intellectual Property Status with the Baker Brick Barrier. The Patent Application is matter and engaged this �rm again to represent him of the law �rm of Butler, Snow PLLC on another patent previously engaged the Intellectual Property division Baker applied for a patent in April 2014. He had In order to insure a level of proprietary protection, Mr. assignee of the rights to the Baker Brick Barrier. Although the Baker Brick Barrier could be decisions of this nature within the domain of the matter of information only. Mr. Baker wants to leave manufacturing previously, Mr. Baker is noting this as a Brick Barrier. However, not having been involved in for the most cost effective way of producing the Baker processes, the injection molding process might allow manufactured by several different manufacturing currently pending.

He has not found application he visualized. In his preventing the condensate from running research, he did �nd the use of a small pvc elbow jammed inside a “condensate pipe. ” However, as can be seen from the photo, this did not prevent leakage down the wall and was not securely sealed at the junction; thus the problem was not solved. Additionally, Mr. Baker also uncovered a very labor intensive attempt at Labor Intensive Solution
