IMPORTANT! If silicone plumbers grease is not applied to the
gaskets, they will bind during fitting, which will result in the pipes
being cut to incorrect lengths.
NOTE: This step is easier with the bowl upside down.
Install the gasket on the ribbed end of the inlet pipe.
NOTE: The outlet pipe gasket comes positioned on the thin portion
of the outlet pipe. Remove the gasket and reinstall it as shown.
