How To Intall a Bidet Attachment or Bidet Seat

While each bidet model may have slight variations, the installation process is generally consistent: turn off the water, remove the toilet seat, attach the bidet, replace the toilet seat, turn on the water, and enjoy.

Before You Buy Your Bidet

Toilet Check
Identify your toilet type and bowl shape to ensure compatibility with your bidet. Reputable brands provide compatibility lists for reference.

Electrical Check
If installing an electric bidet seat, ensure your toilet is near an outlet. A GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet is recommended for safety.

What You’ll Need

Tools (not included)

  • Screwdrivers (flathead or Phillips-head)
  • Towels for knee padding and spills
  • Bowl for residual water

Materials (included with your bidet)

  • Bidet seat or attachment
  • Mounting base plate, brackets, and bolts
  • Rubber inserts
  • Tank adapter
  • Flexible hoseline
  • Batteries (for remote-controlled models)
  • Power cord (for electric bidets)

Before Installing Your Bidet

  • De-water: Turn off the water supply valve at the tank's base and flush the toilet to drain as much water as possible.
  • De-seat: Remove the toilet seat by unscrewing the mounting hardware.
  • De-gunk: Clean the exposed areas thoroughly.

How to Install a Bidet Toilet Seat

  2. Attach the Bidet to the Bowl

    • Insert the rubber inserts into the toilet bolt holes.
    • Position the bidet seat base plate over the holes, ensuring it's centered and straight.

  3. Connect and Leak-Check the Water Line

    • Attach the flexible hose to the bidet’s inlet port.
    • Turn on the water shutoff valve and check for leaks.
