  • the technical advantage is achieved that a stable positioning of the cantilevered guide element on the discharge line can be ensured by the introduction of the radial positioning rib of the cantilevered guide element in the formations of the corrugated tube or the corrugated tube. Due to the fact that the radial positioning rib engages in the formations, the self-supporting guide element can not be displaced along the longitudinal axis of the discharge line. Thus, it is ensured that the first guide section is in contact with the first line section of the discharge line, and that the second guide section is in contact with the second line section of the discharge line and thus the first line section is held bent relative to the longitudinal axis of the second line section.

This is particularly because the second opening is widened, then the discharge line is inserted into the second guide section, in which case the widening is ended so that the second opening is restored to its original size.
  • the second opening is bounded, for example, by one or more rounded boundary edges.
  • the lateral first opening merges into the lateral second opening, so that a through opening is formed.
