A bidet is not a sanitary device common in bathrooms. It is more often used in the Far East and Southern Europe due to the higher temperature there. There is no need to 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 adequate space in the bathroom, it is worth choosing it. What should you know before installing a bidet?

What connection should be installed for a bidet?
Properly performed installation is necessary for the proper operation of the bidet. You need to 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 possible 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 must supply cold and hot water.
It is most often assumed that the diameters of the water supply connections should be the same as those for a washbasin, i.e. 1/2". However, the diameter of the sewage drain for a wall-hung bidet must be at least 40 mm. However, to make installation even easier, it is worth using a larger diameter, i.e. which is 50 mm. When it comes to installing the tap itself, you need to know that it is done similarly to installing a washbasin tap.
The siphon adapts to the type of bidet, depending on whether you choose a standing or hanging model. For even greater safety, it is worth using sealing, preferably applying 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 ceramics. This way you don't have to worry about water penetrating into 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 convenience of use, but also allows for proper installation. The height of the sewage access depends on the distance of the bidet bowl drain from the floor. Most often it is from 180 to 200 mm. The situation is slightly different when a 50 mm wide siphon is used. In this case, the height of the sewer approach should be from 130 to 150 mm.
The outer edge of the bidet should be at least 20 cm above the ground to allow easy connection of the siphon. At the same time, it is best to place the bidet at a height of approximately 30 cm from other equipment or devices. As for the space in front of the bidet, it must in no case be less than 60 cm. 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.
