A very helpful video, thanks for taking the time to make it. One thing, you kept emphasizing "hand tight" on the connections. I agree, except for the connectors that you have to wrap with plumbers tape. Sometimes the tape can make it seem as you have screwed it all the way down, but it's not. I recommend using an adjustable wrench and with the slightest pressure turn the nut the same way you were finger tightening. See if the nut moves. If it does you can go back to hand tightening wait for the resistance and try the wrench again. I'm talking 1 or 2lbs of torque. If the nut doesn't move you're good to go.

One way to reduce the pressure of the water as it's coming out of the nozzle is too flush the toilet first. Then as the toilet tank is filling up with water, go ahead and use the bidet. The water pressure coming out of the bidet will be greatly reduced to a stream instead of a spray.

Thanks for your informative video. I have an installation problem with the splitter. The connection to my toilet is hidden in behind and is difficult to get to without moving the toilet. I presumed the splitter would be installed down at the connection where it comes out of the wall. Do you know if there any type of splitter that will attach to a standard waterline coming out at the wall?

@TofuShop 2 жыл бұрын

If you are able to connect the splitter directly to the wall valve, you could install it that way as well if you have enough room. It would look like: Wall valve -> splitter -> toilet line Alternatively, Amazon sells short length pvc and braided stainless lines. Search for 'braided toilet line' and a bunch of options will come up. Alternative setup that may work for you would be: Wall valve -> new toilet line -> splitter Both options should work the same way in filling the tank and feeding the bidet

@steveaxelrod9063 2 жыл бұрын

Great video! One question; all my connections seem correct, no leaks. But even though bidet works, when it is off, toilet tank does not refill. It was working fine before installing bidet.

@TofuShop 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Hm, that sounds odd. The bidet works so that means the valve from the wall is turned back on, correct? Inside your toilet tank is a lever that moves up/down when a floating piece raises/lowers based on the height of the water. Can you check if it is maybe stuck in the 'up' (off fill) position?

So I've got it all hooked up correctly. But for some reason when it is hooked up the connection to the water valve itself will leak enough to notice and doesn't seem to leak when the line is just connected to the toilet tank itself. I'm unsure what to actually do about it. The valve connection is similar to your setup with the exception being my spout is pointed down as your example the spout is pointed up. I attempted to take the line off by hand but it was pretty tight, But I'm not sure if I should take it off at all. I was thinking if I did that, maybe I could put teflon tape on the spout and then place the line back on to see if that might be the reason. Any advice would be super helpful. 🤷‍♂

@TofuShop Жыл бұрын

I would definitely add teflon tape. Sounds like there is a leak through the threads. (Direction of the valve doesn't matter if sealed properly). If teflon tape doesnt fix the leak, you may have a faulty hardware and would request exchanging it. Hope that fixes your issue, good luck!

I have a few suggestions: 1- To confirm, if you goto the 3:00 mark in my video, did you install the rubber washer in the correct direction? 2- On the old hose that you are connecting to the new 'T' adapter, clean out the threads on the inside 3- Use teflon tape on the bottom of the 'T' adapter where it is leaking for a tighter seal If you are still leaking after, the connector on your old hose may be damaged and needs to be replaced, unfortunately. Hope this helps!

The instructions didn't mention the teflon tape and I ended up not using it. I don't have any leaks. Should I go back and put some on anyway?

@TofuShop 2 жыл бұрын

Teflon tape is always recommended when working with plumbing to prevent leaks in the future. The joints are plastic and will contract/expand over time, so even if it doesnt leak now, it may leak in the future depending on the humidify level in your home. I'd add the teflon tape now while the threads are still new and easy to spin

It should not move at all. You need to unscrew, make sure both pieces are flush and touching before you tighten. Sounds like you may have force-tightened it and cross-threaded the piece, or you have a faulty piece. You can also try using teflon tape to seal the leak

@TofuShop 2 жыл бұрын

There's a few things you could check: 1- did you overtighten and crack something? might be hairline fracture somewhere. 2- yes, make sure the hose is lined up flat before you screw it on. if u are only able to screw it barely 1/2 a turn, it isn't on straight. realign it and hold it tight so that it is flush before you start tightening. 3- did you try using teflon tape to prevent leaking? 4- where is the leak coming from?

The bidet works independently of your toilet. Your issue sounds like it is related to something inside the tank. Things to check: 1- Did you remove the lid to see if the tank is actually full? 2- Is the flapper seal at the bottom of your tank loose and letting water leak through? 3- Is the float piece in the tank raising high enough to shut off the fill tube?
