CONCEPT

• Soffit vents bring bathroom moisture out of the house

• Traditional vents allowed moisture to linger under the eave, causing mold

• This vent brings the moisture away from the house where it can escape safely without encouraging the growth of mold

CHALLENGES

• Moisture Flow

  • Steam/moist air needs to escape upwards

  • Condensation needs to be able to drain

• Injection molding considerations

  • Avoid undercuts

  • Minimize part count where possible

• Installation variability

  • Tiered design to allow connection to different diameter vent tubes

  • Cutaway extension piece to accommodate different eave depths

• Outdoors

  • Cannot allow rain in

  • Cannot allow critters in

RESULT

• Highly manufacturable design

• Simple, unobtrusive aesthetic

• Easy to install
