How to Install a Bidet Toilet Seat - Simple Step-By-Step Instructions

How to Install a Bidet Toilet Seat - Simple Step-By-Step Instructions


So, you've already purchased your bidet toilet seat, and now you need to install it, but you're not a plumber or a contractor. No problem! Installation is very easy and you will only need a few common tools and about 15-30 minutes start to finish.

The first thing you should know is that bidet seats are made to be compatible with just about every toilet fixture that exists out there. The companies that make bidet toilet seats like Kohler, Brondell, Coco, Toto and BioBidet want to make sure their products are going to fit your toilet with no retrofitting needed. All bidet seats are designed to replace your existing toilet seat and fit seamlessly with your toilet.

Unlike a traditional freestanding bidet, your toilet seat bidet requires no extra floorspace, no expensive plumbers or contractors, and no week long renovations costing in the 10's of thousands. Instead, you will simply follow some simple instructions and be enjoying the benefits of cleansing with warm water in just about thirty minutes or so. Here are the basic steps to follow:

Step 1: Remove your current toilet seat by unscrewing the two plastic bolts that connect the seat to the bowl. You can find these at the underside of the bowl and more often than not they can be unscrewed without the need for any tools. Unscrew the bolts fully and remove the old seat.

Step 2: Move the new bidet toilet seat into position. The holes for the plastic bolts you just removed should line up perfectly since this is a standardized component. If you received new bolts with your purchase, use them, otherwise the old bolts with do just fine. Screw the nuts into place and finger-tighten, if you want to tighten further, use and wrench but be careful not to mangle the plastic.

Step 3: Turn of the water valve that feeds the holding tank to your toilet. With a wrench, unscrew the top pipe. Your seat should come with fittings and a flexible hose that will replace this pipe. Connect all the pieces and tighten with a wrench. You should use Teflon tape to ensure that the connections are watertight.

You're done! Now all you have to do is turn on the water valve and activate your new unit (batteries if it requires power). Many of the high-end bidet seats feature a remote control so you may need batteries. Some will also feature a wall mount for the remote or a come with a special holding tank for heated water - but that's for another article. Enjoy your new bidet seat and the soothing, sanitary jet of water that will change your life!
