The hollow body is preferably a flat tube made of plastic, and has a mounting flange around the periphery of one end of the tube. A web or divider wall may bifurcate the hollow body from front to back, adding strength to the walls of the tube. A cap fits over the drainage aperture to limit fluid flow therethrough.
