Installation 

Installing the bidet attachment is a straightforward DIY process that usually takes 15-20 minutes. You won’t need a plumber – just a few basic tools (a flat-head screwdriver and an adjustable wrench or pliers). Follow these general steps:

  1. Turn off the water supply to your toilet. This is usually done by closing the shutoff valve on the wall. Then flush the toilet to drain the tank (it doesn’t need to be completely empty, but lowering the water helps avoid spills).
  2. Remove your toilet seat. Unscrew the two bolts at the back of the seat and take the seat off. Keep the bolts and nuts handy – you will reattach the seat over the bidet.
  3. Place the bidet attachment on the toilet bowl, aligning its adjustment slots with the seat bolt holes. The control knob should sit on the right-hand side (when you are seated on the toilet).
  4. Reinstall your toilet seat over the bidet attachment. Put the seat bolts through the bidet attachment and the toilet’s holes, then tighten the nuts underneath to secure the seat and attachment together. (If your toilet uses top-mounted bolts that don’t have nuts underneath, you may need to use the same expanding anchors or get longer ones so the seat can accommodate the extra thickness of the attachment.)
  5. Install the T-valve (T-adapter) at the toilet’s fill valve under the tank. First, unscrew the water supply hose from the bottom of your toilet tank’s fill valve (the place under the tank where the hose connects). Attach the T-valve to the fill valve threading – hand-tighten it first and then give it an extra quarter turn with a wrench. **Be sure to insert the provided rubber washer** into the T-valve connection to the tank (this creates a watertight seal).
  6. Reconnect your water supply hose to the bottom of the T-valve. The T-valve now splits the water flow – one side goes back to your toilet tank (through the fill valve as before) and the other side will connect to the bidet.
  7. Connect the bidet’s braided hose to the side outlet of the T-valve and then to the inlet on the bidet attachment. Ensure that each end has a rubber washer in place before connecting. Hand-tighten the connections firmly (do not overtighten, as that can deform washers; snug plus a small turn with a wrench is enough). If any connection is metal-to-metal and leaks when tested, you can apply a bit of plumber’s Teflon tape on the threads and retighten.
  8. Turn the water supply valve back on gradually. As the tank refills, check all connections for leaks. If you see any water seeping at the joints, turn off the water and tighten the connection a bit more. When everything is leak-free, your installation is complete.

Once installed, test the bidet by turning the control knob gently to each spray mode while sitting on the toilet (or hold the spray guard down to test briefly if not seated). You should see water spraying from the nozzle(s) into the bowl. Remember to turn the knob back to “off” after testing. If you encounter any issues during installation, double-check that all washers are in place and all fittings are properly tightened. Installation is designed to be user-friendly, so most people can do it themselves. However, if you’re uncomfortable with these steps or run into difficulties, you can consult a handyman or plumber for help (though it’s usually not necessary).

What if the provided parts don’t fit my toilet or plumbing?

Our bidet attachments are made to fit standard toilets, but there are a few situations where you might need extra parts or adjustments:

  • Toilet Compatibility: The attachment is designed for standard two-piece toilets (where the tank is separate from the bowl). It also works on most one-piece toilets, but very few one-piece designs with a curved or French-curved tank may not have enough clearance for the attachment. If the area around your seat bolts is very narrow or oddly shaped, installation could be tricky. In most cases, it fits fine as long as there’s a little flat space around the bolt holes. The mounting brackets are adjustable to accommodate different bolt spreads (typically anywhere from about 5 to 7.5 inches apart, which covers most toilets). If you have an unusual toilet model or a top-mount bolt system (no access underneath to tighten nuts), you can still install the bidet — just use the existing anchors or obtain a top-mount hardware kit if needed to secure the seat and attachment.
  • T-Valve Size: The included T-valve (the T-shaped adapter) has 7/8” connections, which is the standard size that connects to the bottom of a typical toilet fill valve in the US (and many other regions). If your toilet’s fill valve or water supply line uses a different size (for example, 3/8” or 1/2” in some non-US plumbing systems), you might need a different adapter. We provide the standard T-valve with our bidet. Should you find it doesn’t fit your plumbing, please contact our customer support – we may be able to send you a compatible adapter for your region, or you can find a suitable adapter at a hardware store.
  • Hose Length: The package includes a braided metal hose of standard length (usually about 2 feet / ~60 cm, depending on model) to connect the T-valve to the bidet. This length suffices for most installations where the toilet’s water supply connection is near the tank. If you discover that the provided hose is too short for your setup (for instance, if your water supply outlet is further away or you have an atypical plumbing layout), you have a couple of options. You can request a longer hose from us (we have longer replacement hoses available), or you can use any standard flexible toilet supply hose from a hardware store to bridge the distance. Just ensure it has the correct 1/2” or 3/8” ends to connect between the T-valve and the bidet inlet. Conversely, if the hose is too long and creates a loop, you can gently bend it out of the way behind the toilet or obtain a shorter hose if you prefer a neater look.
  • Left-Handed Installation: The bidet attachment is generally designed with the control knob on the right side (when you’re seated), because most toilet supply lines come in on the left side, making right-side controls more universal. If you absolutely need the controls on the left side (due to bathroom layout or personal preference), note that most of our models do not flip to the left by default. However, we do have certain models (or regional versions) that come in a left-handed design. If you require a left-hand control bidet, please check if our catalog offers a left-handed version of that model or contact us – we may be able to provide a solution or an alternative model that suits your needs.
  • RV or Camper Use: Planning to install in an RV or mobile home? The bidet can work on RV toilets as long as the plumbing connections are compatible. Many RVs use a 1/2” or 3/8” connection, so you might need a different T-adapter size as noted above. Additionally, water pressure in RVs is often lower than household pressure – the bidet will still work, but the spray strength might be a bit less. Also, remember to fully drain and winterize the bidet (like the rest of your plumbing) if your RV will be exposed to freezing temperatures, to prevent any water from freezing inside the unit.

If you’re ever unsure about compatibility, feel free to reach out to us with details of your toilet model or plumbing, and we’ll gladly help figure out the best solution. In summary, our bidet attachments are designed to be universally adaptable, but there are fixes (different adapters, hoses, or parts) for those rare cases where things don’t immediately fit. We’re here to assist you in getting everything set up correctly!
