A bidet is not a common sanitary device in bathrooms. It is more often used in the Far East or Southern Europe, due to the higher temperatures there. You do not have to use a shower during the day and you can wash your intimate parts after using the toilet. In Poland, fewer people decide to use a bidet. However, its installation is certainly justified and very useful. Therefore, if you have the appropriate usable space in the bathroom, it is worth choosing it. What should you know before installing a bidet?

What type of connection should I install for a bidet?
Properly performed installation is essential for the proper operation of the bidet. Remember to choose the right connections. Prepare a water connection in the wall. If you decide on a wall-hung bidet, you should of course install a concealed frame. This is the only way to avoid any leaks or leaks. Another important element is the selection of elbows and angle valves. At the same time, you need to know that when installing the bidet, you need to supply cold and hot water.
It is most often assumed that the diameters of the water supply connections should be the same as for the washbasin, i.e. 1/2". On the other hand, the diameter of the sewage drain for a wall-hung bidet must be at least 40 mm. However, to make the installation even easier, it is worth using a larger diameter, i.e. one that is 50 mm. When it comes to the installation of the faucet itself, you need to know that it is done in a similar way to the installation of a faucet to a washbasin.
The siphon is adjusted to the type of bidet, so depending on whether you choose a standing or wall-hung model. For even greater safety, it is worth using a seal, it is best to apply a thin layer of silicone sealant around all edges of the bidet. You cannot forget about this, especially if the bidet is made of stone or ceramic. This way, you do not have to worry about water penetrating the cracks.
At what height should a bidet be mounted?
Also pay attention to the height at which the bidet is to be mounted. This affects the comfort of use, but also allows for proper installation. The height of the sewage connection depends on the distance from the floor of the bidet drain. Most often, it is from 180 to 200 mm. The situation is slightly different when a 50 mm wide siphon is used. In such a case, the height of the sewage connection should be from 130 to 150 mm.
The outer edge of the bidet should be at least 20 cm above the ground to allow for easy connection of the siphon. At the same time, the bidet should be placed at a height of approx. 30 cm from other equipment or devices. As for the space in front of the bidet, it should not be less than 60 cm in any case. The upper edge of the bidet should be 40 cm above the floor. This distance can be increased to 45 - 50 cm if the bidet is to be used by elderly or disabled people.
