Steps
- Shut the toilet supply valve and flush to empty the tank.
- Disconnect the supply line; thread the T-adapter on with fresh tape.
- Reconnect supply to the adapter, then the bidet hose to the T.
- Seat the attachment under the existing seat bolts and reconnect.
- Open the valve slowly and leak-check every joint before first use.
Maintenance
Clean nozzles monthly (most have self-rinse); winterize cold-water lines if you leave for winter. (Suggested interval: every 3 months.)
