Claim:
A water drain for insertion into a mating wall opening in an extruded, hollow door or window sash or frame, comprising: a round or rectangular housing formed of a rigid plastics material having at least one peripheral front flange defining a drain opening for abutment against a wall of the sash or frame, said housing having a top portion and a bottom portion perpendicular to the front flange, and a pair of opposed side portions, a baffle extending downwardly from the housing top portion for partially closing an upper portion of the drain opening, means for securing the housing within the wall opening, comprising an elongated rib parallel to the front flange depending from each of the housing top and bottom portions for engaging the wall opening and a flap formed of a rigid plastics material having a lower planar rear surface in a lower flap portion and an upper planar front surface in an upper flap portion for opening and closing lower and upper portions of the drain opening, said planar lower flap portion surface being joined to the upper flap portion by a pivot axis, said lower flap portion being disposed forwardly of the upper flap portion whereby the flap tends to gravitate to an at-rest, closed, substantially vertical position, said flap having a lug extension at each end of the pivot axis for insertion into mating holes in said side portions of the housing for pivotal mounting of the flap in the housing drain opening, whereby the flap can pivot from a substantially vertical at-rest closed position to an open position, and a hood extending forwardly from an upper portion of the front flange for shielding the flap.
