The plumbing fixture opening includes an exterior peripheral stop. The conduit has a peripheral recess spaced from the end within the plumbing fixture opening, with a seal ring being positioned within the recess and in sealing contact with the opening and the conduit. The conduit has an outward peripheral projection, adjacent the recess, which projection is positioned against the peripheral stop of the plumbing fixture. A retainer is positioned adjacent the conduit end within the plumbing fixture opening and has portions thereof which extend through the conduit and in contact with the plumbing fixture to secure the conduit therein.
