5 Steps to Install a Bidet Like a Pro (No Tools Needed!)
Are you ready to upgrade your bathroom experience by installing a bidet? The good news is that you don’t need to be a plumber—or even have any tools—to get the job done. Whether you’ve purchased a bidet attachment or an advanced bidet seat, installing it yourself is easier than you think.
Follow these 5 simple steps to install your bidet like a pro!
Step 1: Gather What You Need
Although you don’t need tools, it’s helpful to have a few items on hand to make installation smooth:
- The bidet kit (including the attachment, hoses, and T-valve, typically included in your purchase).
- A clean towel for wiping excess water.
- Optional: Bucket or small container to catch water during disconnection.
Step 2: Turn Off the Water Supply
Locate the water shutoff valve near your toilet. This is usually found on the wall or floor next to the toilet bowl. Turn the valve clockwise to shut off the water flow.
Pro Tip: Flush the toilet after shutting off the water to drain any remaining water in the tank. This will prevent leaks during installation.
Step 3: Remove the Toilet Seat
To install a bidet attachment or seat, you’ll need to temporarily remove your toilet seat.
- Locate the two bolts at the back of the toilet seat.
- Unscrew them by hand or with the plastic tool provided in your bidet kit.
- Lift the seat off and set it aside.
No Tools Needed! Most modern toilet seats have quick-release mechanisms or hand-turn bolts that make removal simple.
Step 4: Connect the Bidet to the Water Supply
Here’s where your bidet becomes part of your plumbing system:
- Attach the T-Valve:
- Locate the water supply line connected to the toilet tank.
- Unscrew it by hand from the base of the tank (place a towel underneath to catch any water).
- Attach the T-valve to the toilet tank and reconnect the supply line to the T-valve.
- Connect the Bidet Hose:
- Attach one end of the bidet hose to the open connection on the T-valve.
- Attach the other end to your bidet attachment or seat.
- Double-Check Connections: Ensure all connections are hand-tightened securely to prevent leaks.
Step 5: Secure and Test Your Bidet
With the bidet connected, it’s time to finalize installation and test it:
- Reattach the Toilet Seat:
- Place the toilet seat back over the bowl, aligning the bolts with the holes.
- Secure the bolts by hand, ensuring a snug fit.
- Turn On the Water Supply:
- Slowly turn the shutoff valve counterclockwise to restore water flow.
- Test the Bidet:
- Use the bidet control to release a gentle spray of water.
- Check for any leaks around the T-valve, hose, or bidet connection.
Pro Tip: Adjust the water pressure to your preference using the bidet’s controls.
Enjoy Your New Bidet!
Congratulations—you’ve successfully installed your bidet like a pro! Now you can enjoy improved hygiene, comfort, and eco-friendly savings. With no tools required, this quick DIY project is a simple way to upgrade your bathroom in minutes.
