You’ve probably heard about the benefits of installing a bidet toilet seat, but have you ever wondered how easy it is to do? The answer is: very! All it takes is a few tools and some basic plumbing skills. We’ll walk you through the steps below so that your bidet installation will be done in just an hour.
Lift the toilet seat
The first step to installing a bidet toilet seat is to lift the toilet seat. You’ll need to do this in order to access the bolts that hold it in place, so you may want to find someone who can help you lift it if there’s no way for you to do it yourself.
There are two ways of removing a standard toilet seat:
- Unscrewing four bolts from underneath (the most common method)
- Pulling up on both sides of the front edge of your current seat until it pops off
Remove the lid and clean it if necessary
The next step is to remove the lid and clean it if necessary. If you’ve never removed a toilet seat before, this is a good time to learn how, as it will be much easier with an empty bowl than with water in it! To do so:
- Remove any hardware from underneath your toilet seat (if there is any). This may include screws or bolts that hold down the hinge mechanism for brackets on either side of the bowl; if so, loosen these so that they aren’t blocking access when trying to lift off your current seat cover.
- Once all those are out of our way, grab onto both sides of your old lid with one hand each and lift up slowly until all four legs come free from their slots in order for us proceed further into our project.
Use a water line to connect your bidet to the toilet’s water supply lines
- Connect the water line to your toilet.
- Connect the shut-off valve for both lines, then turn on its valve handle so that water can flow through both lines.
- Check for leaks around all connections and use plumber’s putty or Teflon tape if necessary to seal any gaps or cracks in fittings where they meet each other or other surfaces like porcelain bowls or sinks.
Put the new bidet seat into place over the toilet bowl
Make sure that it is level by using a level, or simply by looking at it from different angles and checking that no part of the bidet seat is higher than another part (this will make it look crooked).
Make sure that you have put your new bidet in the right place; don’t worry if it seems like too much space has been left between your rear end and toilet seat–that’s normal!
Cut and remove the old toilet seat bolts and washers
Use a hacksaw to cut the bolts. The bolts and washers are usually made of metal, so it will be easy for you to cut through them with a hacksaw. Be sure not to cut yourself when using this tool!
Remove the washers from each bolt before removing them from their holes in your toilet seat. You can use pliers or another tool for this step if you don’t have strong enough hands (or if it’s too difficult).
Install new bolts with washers into the holes in your new bidet seat using an Allen wrench or socket set
Next, you’ll need to install the new bolts with washers into the holes in your new bidet seat using an Allen wrench or socket set. Be sure to use a torque wrench to tighten them down to their appropriate torque settings and make sure that you use the correct size wrench or socket for this job!
If you overtighten these bolts, it could cause damage to both your toilet and bidet seat–not something you want happening after all of this work so far!
Connect water line tubing using clamp connectors and tighten with pliers
- Connect water line tubing using clamp connectors and tighten with pliers.
- Use water line tubing that is 3/8 inches in diameter. You can find this at any hardware store or online, but don’t get anything smaller than 1/2 inch because it won’t fit.
- Use a clamp connector with either male or female ends, depending on what you need for your particular toilet bidet seat installation (the male end will connect to the bidet; the female end connects to your existing plumbing). Make sure you get one that’s compatible with both types of connectors!
