ABSTRACT:
A one piece plastic vent cap having its open end adapted for receiving one end of a flexible hollow conduit with the conduit other end connected to a vent hole in a housing enclosing a vehicle component. The vent cap closed end if formed a central stem element projecting axially therefrom with a plurality of radial ribs interconnecting the stem element with the cap cylindrical side wall. The ribs are L-shaped defining with the central stem element a concentric space adapted for flexibly receiving one end of the conduit with the stem element telescoped within the conduit passage. Upon the conduit being inserted in the cap the conduit internal and external surfaces cooperate with the cap structure to define axial inner and outer flow passages communicating with a crossover flow passage allowing ventilation of the housing to the atmosphere.
