BrondellBidet - Thinline SimpleSpa SS-150 Fresh Water Spray Non-Electric Bidet Toilet Attachment in White with Self Cleaning Nozzle

The threading on T-valve and hose are for US specifications and cannot be used in the UK. I have not been able to find a correct adaptor. Amazon should not offer these for sale on its .uk site.

Toilet: Kohler Santa RosaOrdered the brondell thinline for my mother who is elderly, has a leg amputation, and Parkinson’s. Thought it would help her bathroom experience and hygiene and I was right. Decided to order one for myself to try it first and absolutely love having a bidet now. Everyone without one is living in the dark ages. Should be the law in this country that everyone have one. Love it!!That being said, as per the photos, I made a slight modification that I think many people might wanna make and I’ll explain why.I’m a single male aged 40 and also a diy guy when it comes to construction, plumbing, etc. I installed this in my master bathroom. Tried it and loved it.But here is the problem with nearly all bidets like this one. They put a t-valve between your supply line from the wall and your toilet. Then the t-valve is connected to the bidet, which has a valve to turn the bidet on/off when in use. The issue here is that if the bidet valve fails or a part of the bidet breaks, you have full water pressure from the supply line ready to flood the house. This isn’t a problem when a toilet fails internally because the water just goes into the overflow and into the bowl and down the toilet drain. But now if the bidet breaks, the only place for that water to go is likely all over your bathroom floor until you realize it’s leaking. Because I’m out of the house all day and nobody is home, I could come home to who knows how many feet of water in my entire house if it fails while I’m gone. I’m not saying this bidet is cheaply made. But it’s not super expensive and I get you don’t get the world’s finest materials for this price point. And I’m okay with that. But what I needed was a more reliable fail safe for when I’m not home.What I did was I went to Lowe’s and found a straight silver (to match the color and hardware in my bathroom) quarter turn ball valve with a 3/8 male end for a supply line hose to a 3/8 lead pipe female end. It was like $8. I also got a new supply line hose because the hose that comes with the bidet won’t accommodate the new valve I bought. The supply line hose is a 3/8 to 3/8 FIP 20 inch hose.I hooked the new 3/8 inch supply line hose to the t-valve that comes with the bidet. I hooked the other end of the 3/8 inch supply line to the new quarter turn ball valve. Then I hooked the ball valve to the bidet arm. The purpose of this is so that I can keep the quarter turn ball valve off at all times when the bidet is not in use. The ball valve is plumbing grade and would be super unusual to have a catastrophic failure. So I know I’ve essentially prevented a flood if the bidet breaks because it has no water pressure to it until I turn on the quarter turn ball valve. And it’s redundant protection because if the ball valve did fail the water would still have to get through the bidet valve.It is super easy to turn the ball valve a quarter turn while you’re on the toilet because it sits right below the bidet valve. It’s rather discrete as well and doesn’t look out of place at all. I turn on the ball valve, do my business, turn the bidet valve to clean up, turn off the bidet valve and then turn off the quarter turn valve. Takes no time at all. But now I don’t worry about flooding all day while at work. That supply line hose and quarter turn valve are designed to withstand constant plumbing pressure.I did need to get a 1/4” rubber washer for the quarter turn valve, as the valve doesn’t come with one. You get a bunch of those washers for like a buck or so at Home Depot. I’m sure Lowe’s has them also. I also used plumbers tape at the connection between the quarter turn ball valve and bidet arm to ensure a leak free connection. Be careful when installing the quarter turn valve that you don’t over tighten it so tight you break the plastic on the bidet arm connection. I got a nice tight and snug fit and was able to keep the handle of the quarter turn ball valve on the outside of the bidet arm for easy access.I hope this helps people feel a greater sense of ease from the fear of a leaking bidet. My brother mimicked my modification and found it to be helpful in keeping his 3 year old boy from turning on the bidet on accident. The quarter turn valve is harder for a toddler to turn than the bidet valve. They’d also have to know to turn them both on to get it to work. So it’s a little bit of a toddler proofing as well.Also, to make the seat sit completely flat without pressure on the bidet, I added four 1” fender washers under each hinge of the toilet seat between the hinge and the bidet. It raised the hinges up just enough that the toilet seat doesn’t contact the bidet and allows the seat to touch the front of the toilet without rising up when nobody is sitting on it. Again, discrete, easy, cheap, and effective.I have to say, I’m super happy with the setup. Brondell, you’re welcome to send me any royalties if you incorporate my idea into your product as a standard feature, which I highly recommend.Anyway, I hope all you new bidet owners enjoy your new level of freshness. We can never go back. For those that don’t have a bidet, take a chance to live like a king.

Excelente producto, cuesta un poco acostumbrarse (En casa se rieron por una hora completa cuando lo vieron y supieron para que se usa), pero funciona de maravilla. No tiene goteras ni nada hasta ahora lo installe yo mismo en menos de 15 minutos, y el diseño es muy elegante. La entrega fue mucho antes de lo estimado.

Easy installation. Don’t need any specific tools if you have straightforward pipe fittings in the washroom. Works really well, pressure is moderate and not too overwhelming.

This Brondell Bidet - Thinline SimpleSpa SS-150 is one terrific product! I ordered this bidet after reviewing the customer comments on a number of similar bidets costing less than $100. Not only was the price a deciding factor, prior customers reviews were glowing and frequently quite entertaining! In addition, I liked the simple design because it facilitated ease of cleaning.Now for my personally sobering experience. I ordered the Brondell Bidet for use on the following toilet in my master bathroom which has straight sides in the back for ease of cleaning:- Kohler K-3654 Persuade Dual FlushUnfortunately, this design would not accommodate the Brondell Bidet, even after I paid a plumber $262 to install an adapter valve at the water shut off valve. It turns out that the "deck" where the toilet seats attach on both these toilets was too deep to accommodate the design of the Brondell Bidet.5/27/20 Update: Now for the good news: After over a year of procrastination, and with lots of time on my hands during this Covid quarrantine, I finally decided to try again to install my Brondell SS-150 on the following toilet:American Standard Cadet Model #2989.101.020 Concealed Trapway, which has a self closing toilet seat. As you will note from the picture, there was a very tight space between the toilet and the shower next to it. Combine this with the fact that since recovering from bilateral carpal tunnel surgery, I have limited hand strength. As a result, my installation became more challenging. In the 2nd pix, the existing adapter at the bottom of the toilet tank is clearly marked "Hand Tighten. Use No Tools". Unfortunately, given my lack of hand strength I used a wrench to loosen it, turned it the wrong way and consequently created an invisible crack causing it to leak when I tried to reattach it. So I had to purchase a $8.00 replacement from my local (wonderful) plumbing supply house. By the way, you will need to use a small 7" tongue & groove pliers wrench to loosen the plain metal connector. All of which is to say, this installation is quite possible, and eventually was wildly successful!I gave a 2nd Brondell Bidet to a friend and helped her install it. Because her toilet had a rigid pipe from under the toilet tank to the shut off valve near the floor, we had to make a stop at our local plumbing supply house to obtain a 12" flexible braided hose to complete the proper connection. The specifics are clearly spelled out in the installation guide accompanying the Brondell Bidet. We needed a broad flat bladed screw driver to loosen the toilet seat anchor bolts, and both a large and a small adjustable wrench to deal with the various nuts.Following our successful installation, each of us privately took turns trying out the bidet. Voila! We could not have been more pleased with the simple operation and effectiveness of the bidet which is operated on the right side of the toilet. Although we installed it in January, the cool water was not at all uncomfortable - could be considered soothing to those with "issues". The force of the spray is effortless to adjust. By the way we are ladies in our 70's.Although I plan to buy more of these bidets as gifts for my family members - won't they be surprised!! But now I have to hunt for a bidet which suits my less than common Kohler toilet.
