Installing a bidet seat is a straightforward task requiring minimal tools and about an hour. Here’s how you can do it:

What You Need to Know Before Installation

Water Supply:
- All bidet seats connect to your toilet’s water supply valve, located behind or beside the toilet.

Electricity:
- Most bidets need a GFCI-rated outlet (with "test" and "reset" buttons) for heating water and air drying features.
- Ensure the power cord (typically 42-48 inches) can reach the outlet. If not, use a grounded, outdoor-rated extension cord if your bidet manual allows it.

Tools Required:
- Flathead screwdriver.
- Slip-joint pliers.

Step-by-Step Guide to Install a Bidet Seat

Turn Off the Water Supply:
- Locate the water supply valve and turn it off by rotating it clockwise.

Remove the Existing Seat:
- Unscrew the bolts securing your current toilet seat and set it aside.

Install the Mounting Plate:
- Place the bidet’s mounting plate over the toilet bowl’s bolt holes.
- Align and secure the plate using the provided hardware.

Attach the Bidet Seat:
- Slide the bidet seat onto the mounting plate until it clicks into place.
- Adjust the fit if necessary.

Connect the T-Valve:
- Disconnect the water supply hose from the toilet tank.
- Attach the T-valve (included with your bidet) to the water inlet on the tank.

Reconnect the Water Supply:
- Connect one end of the bidet’s water hose to the T-valve and the other to the bidet seat’s water inlet.
- Reattach the original water supply hose to the remaining T-valve opening.

Turn the Water Back On:
- Slowly open the water supply valve and check for leaks.

Plug in the Bidet:
- Connect the power cord to a GFCI outlet.

Post-Installation Tips

• Test the Bidet:
• Sit on the seat to activate the sensor and test various spray and drying features.
• Clean Up:
• Wipe down any water spills and ensure all hoses and cords are securely fastened.

Additional Considerations

• If you don’t have a GFCI outlet, consult an electrician for safe installation.
• Use a great toilet for optimal performance. Look for models that are powerful, quiet, and easy to clean.

With this guide, your bidet seat installation will be smooth, efficient, and rewarding. Enjoy the comfort and cleanliness!
