Need some assistance with the
installation of your new bidet?
Electronic bidet installation is actually quite easy, requiring no special skills at all. These seats are designed for “Do It Yourself” (DIY) installation.
This article will walk you thru how to install a bidet attachment to
your existing toilet. Modern electronic bidets are easy to install because they tap in to the
existing cold water valve which refills your toilet’s water tank.
Moreover, you don’t need a separate drainage system since the bidet’s
water just falls into the toilet bowl.
There are three main components to electronic bidet installation –
(1) taking some measurements of your existing toilet to ensure proper
fit prior to ordering, (2) mounting the bidet onto your toilet and (3)
connecting your bidet to the existing cold water supply. We’ll explain
each of these three components in detail below.
Measurement – Bidet measurements vary by model, so it’s important you refer to the product specifications for the model you’re interested in. But here are some general guidelines to get you started.
The first and most important measurement is the measurement in the back,
where the rear of the bidet will sit. You’ll notice two caps behind
your existing seat, and beneath these caps are bolts which secure the
toilet seat to the toilet. Measure the clearance from your water tank to
the center of these caps. Most bidets require at least 1.5 inches of
clearance from the front of the water tank to the center of these caps.
If your tank is curved, you’ll need to take that into account by
measuring from the point of the water tank closest to the caps. Make
sure you have at least 1.5 inches of clearance all the way across the
back. More than 1.5 inches is okay, as long as it’s not less.
The second measurement is the width between the caps behind your
existing seat. In other words, how far apart are the caps from each
other? You’ll want at least 5.5 inches in width between the center of
the caps. Again, more than 5.5 inches is okay, as long as it’s not less.
If you have at least 1.5 inches of clearance in the back, and at least
5.5 inches of width between the caps, then congratulations – most
electronic bidets are compatible with your toilet. Now we just have to
determine which type of seat your bidet will come with – an elongated or
round seat. Take one more measurement to determine the length of your
toilet bowl. Start from the caps behind your existing seat and measure
towards the front of the bowl. Elongated seats typically measure 18
inches to 19.5 inches, while round seats typically measure 16.5 inches
to 18 inches.
Mounting – Now that you have properly measured your toilet and
ordered the correct seat-type, it’s time to mount the bidet. In the box
your bidet came in, all parts needed for installation will be included.
One of these parts is the mounting bracket, which is used to attach your
bidet to the toilet. Go ahead and remove your existing toilet seat by
unscrewing the bolts behind the seat. After removing your seat, you’ll
see the two holes which will be used to secure your mounting bracket.
Place the mounting bracket on top of these two holes, and then secure
the bracket with the nuts and bolts which came with your bidet.
Once the mounting bracket is secured to your toilet, the bidet slides on
to the bracket and attaches to your toilet. On most bidet models,
you’ll hear an audible “click” which lets you know when the bidet is
properly fastened.
Connecting to Water Supply – Behind your toilet you’ll find a water valve, with a hose connecting to the bottom of the water tank. First, turn off the water intake by closing the valve. This stops the water, preventing it from passing on thru to the hose. Flush your toilet to empty the tank. Then unscrew the hose from the water valve. A small amount of water will still come out the hose. Have a towel and/or bucket handy. Again, make sure you’ve closed the valve & flushed the toilet first or else you’re gonna get really wet!
Now, find the metal T-connection which came with your shipment and
fasten it to the valve. It’s called a T-connection because it’s shaped
like the letter “T” and allows the water to run two different ways – one
way will be back to your water tank, and the other way will be to the
bidet.
Once the T-Connection has been secured to the water valve, reconnect the
hose to your water tank by securing it to the top end of the
T-connection. Secure a second hose (also included with your shipment) to
the other opening of the T-connection. Connect the other end of this
hose to your bidet. Use a wrench to tighten all connections. Turn the
water supply back on, and check for leaks. Congratulations on learning
how to install a bidet!
