How do you install a manual bidet-toilet combo (non-electronic)?
Share
One of the most common questions when someone discovers a toilet with integrated bidet is whether its installation is complicated or if it requires special construction work.
The short answer is no...
We'll explain the long answer below in a simple way, but if you still don't know exactly what a toilet with an integrated bidet is and how it works, we recommend reading our complete guide here first.
An installation designed to be simple
Our toilets with integrated bidet are manual, without electronics or electrical connection, just like a traditional WC.
From an installation perspective, the system requires:
- water to fill the cistern
- water for the bidet or internal spray
Both functions are supplied from the same bathroom water supply, as is the case in any home.
What if I only have one water inlet?
There's no problem.
The vast majority of bathrooms have only one water outlet on the wall, and that is perfectly sufficient.
There are several standard ways to do the installation:
1. Diversion from the existing inlet - the most common
This is the most common and simplest option.
A diversion is made from the WC's shut-off valve.
- one outlet supplies the cistern
- the other supplies the bidet
This diversion can be done using:
- a double angle valve
- or a T or Y piece
It is a quick, clean, and perfectly normal solution for any plumber.
2. Two independent water inlets
In new installations or renovations, it is also possible to have:
- one inlet for the cistern
- another inlet for the bidet
Each with its own shut-off valve, as can be seen in some professional installations.
This solution is technically perfect, very common in new construction, and appreciated by many professionals because it allows for:
- independent control of each circuit
- a clean and tidy installation
Technically:
- An internal diversion is made in the piping (inside the wall).
- An extra water outlet for the bidet function is added. With this, it looks like this:
- one for the cistern (already existing)
- another for the bidet
- Each circuit has its own shut-off valve, which is even an advantage, although it requires minor construction work.
Is it a safe installation?
Yes, the system:
- has no electronics
- has no pumps
- does not require electricity
- works only by mains pressure
Furthermore, the bidet is integrated directly into the toilet's ceramic, it is not an added accessory.
In summary
A toilet with an integrated bidet:
- is installed very similarly to a conventional WC
- works with a single water inlet, although two independent water inlets can also be easily installed.
- does not require complex changes or special installations
- can be adapted to any existing bathroom
