Abstract

A fluid directing assembly includes partitions which define fluid directing runners. The partitions extend from a first portion and include an engagement member extending therefrom. The engagement members extend from the partitions such that an interference fit is formed between the first portion and a second portion of the module. The engagement members assure that fluid communication between runners adjacent the apertures formed by the separate portions is prevented.
