2. Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure you have all necessary tools and that your toilet is compatible with the Brondell S1000-RW. This model is designed for Round toilets.
2.1. Determine Correct Fit
It is crucial to verify your toilet's dimensions to ensure a proper fit for the bidet seat. Refer to the diagram below for measurement guidance.
Figure 1: Toilet Measurement Guide for Round and Elongated Seats. This diagram illustrates how to measure your toilet bowl to determine if it is a round or elongated shape and to ensure sufficient space for the bidet seat installation.
- A. Center of bolt holes to front of toilet bowl: For a Round seat, this distance should be 16"–17.75" (40.6cm–45.1cm).
- B. Distance from center of bolt holes to toilet seat tank: Minimum 1.5" (3.81cm). If less, the Swash may extend slightly over the front edge.
- C. Distance between bolt holes: All models: 5.25"–8" (13.3cm–20.3cm).
- D. Measure the distance from the front of the toilet tank to the front of the toilet bowl: If this measurement is less than 20 inches, the seat will extend over the front edge of the toilet. Consider purchasing a Round size to reduce the amount the seat extends over the front edge.
2.2. Pre-Installation Steps
- Turn off the water supply to your toilet at the shut-off valve.
- Flush the toilet to drain the tank.
- Disconnect the existing water supply hose from the toilet tank.
- Remove your existing toilet seat by unscrewing the mounting bolts.
2.3. Bidet Seat Installation
- Install the T-valve (provided) between the toilet tank fill valve and the water supply hose. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened first, then gently snugged with a wrench to prevent leaks.
- Attach the mounting plate to the toilet bowl using the provided bolts and washers. Adjust the plate position to align with your toilet bowl.
- Slide the Brondell S1000-RW bidet seat onto the mounting plate until it clicks securely into place.
- Connect the bidet seat's water supply hose to the T-valve.
- Connect the bidet seat to a grounded electrical outlet. The unit includes a 3.5-foot power cord.
- Slowly turn on the water supply to the toilet and check for any leaks.
