How To Connect a Bidet to Hot water?

Before starting the installation, note down a few tips. Not all non-electric bidets come with additional hot water connections. So you have to buy a seat that has such an option. Secondly, you should add a warm water source or tank before connecting the bidet. Thirdly, follow a step-by-step process to bring accuracy to your installation.

How To Connect a Bidet to Hot water?

1. Gather Necessary Tools

You don’t need professional skills to connect the bidet to a hot water supply. However, you should bring some plumber’s tools to start the installation. Below are the equipment required for this task.

  • Adjustable wrench to tighten or loosen any nuts require in the process
  • Teflon tape allows closing any leakage or additional close-up in the pipeline
  • Water hose with 1/2″ that connects the water supply to your bidet seat
  • A screwdriver for further adjustment

2. Location of Your Hot Water Source

Before connecting the bidet to hot water, you should know where the supply line is located. Besides, a few precautions should be noted while performing the task.

  • You should have a “Y” or “T” valve to connect a Non-electric bidet to the water supply pipe
  • Hot water pipes are mainly located behind the toilet or under the sink

If you have an electric bidet seat that allows instant warm water or a night light facility, you should have an electric outlet

  • An electric outlet in wet places should be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
  • If your outlet doesn’t have the protection or you are not sure, contact a plumber

3. Shut Off The Water Supply

Now it’s time to start connecting your bidet to a hot water source. To begin the process, first shut off the water supply

  • The connection is located just behind your toilet
  • Rotate the knob clockwise so the water supply will stop
  • Flush the toilet tank unit. It became empty
  • Wait a while to double check

4. Connect the Flexible Water Hose

As mentioned, your non-electric seat should have an additional warm water port. So that you can connect the bidet to hot water using a hose. Below are the steps to complete the connection

  • Use an adjustable wrench and disconnect the water hose located at the base of the tank
  • Rotate the tool anticlockwise to remove the supply line
  • Bring a “T” or “Y” valve and wrap the connectors with Teflon tape (optional)
  • Connect it at the base of your tank using a wrench
  • Rotate clockwise to secure it
  • Attach the bidet water hose to the upper side of the valve
  • Connect its other end to your seat
  • Connect the warm water hose to the end of your “T” valve connector.

Some users also prefer to connect the hot water supply hose directly to the additional port available in the seat. You can also connect the bidet to warm water by following this step. In this situation, you should avoid previously discussed steps.

5. Turn the Hot Water Supply

Now it’s time to turn on the warm water supply and ensure the delivery. Suppose the adjustment is accurate; no problem you face. Still, you should perform certain test connections by following the below steps.

6. Test Connection

After connecting your bidet to a warm water supply, consider some test connections.

  • Look for any leakage of pipe
  • If you find any damage, use Teflon tape to block
  • Rotate anticlockwise to loosen the connection
  • Rotate clockwise to tighten the bolts
  • Press your hand on the bidet seat to ensure proper installation
  • Take note of the cold and warm water supply in your bidet
  • Check if the spray nozzle works properly
