Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your bidet seat. It is recommended to watch the installation video for visual guidance.
Video 1: BEMIS Renew Plus & Renew Heated Bidets | Installation. This video provides a step-by-step guide for installing your bidet seat.
- Prepare the Toilet: Turn off the water supply to the toilet and drain the tank by holding down the flush handle until empty. Place a container under the connecting hose to catch any residual water.
- Remove Existing Seat: Detach the existing toilet seat and lid.
- Install T-Valve: Disconnect the existing water supply line from the toilet tank's water supply fitting. Secure the 7/8-inch T-valve to the toilet tank water supply fitting. Ensure the T-valve is installed at the bottom of the toilet tank, not at the wall.
- Connect Water Supply Line: Connect the water supply line coming from the wall to the bottom of the T-valve.
- Install Seat Bracket: Place the adjustable seat bracket over the toilet mounting holes. Insert the metal hinge brackets (flat side down) into the large openings of the seat bracket.
- Insert Bolts: Insert the bolts through the hinge brackets and mounting holes. The square bolt head should be even with the sides of the metal hinge brackets.
- Secure Bolts: From underneath the toilet bowl, slide the rubber cone washer, flat washer, and nut onto the bolts. Lightly tighten to keep the seat bracket in place.
- Attach Bidet Seat: Set the bidet seat on the bowl in front of the mounted bracket. Push the seat backward onto the bracket until it clicks into place.
- Adjust Alignment: Adjust the seat forward and backward for proper alignment with the toilet bowl.
- Final Tightening: Either finger-tighten the nuts from below or use the provided tightening tool to fully secure the seat to the bowl.
- Connect Bidet Hose: Attach the bidet hose to the T-valve. If using an optional filter (sold separately), position it onto the T-valve first, then attach the bidet hose to the other end of the filter. If not using a filter, attach the bidet hose directly to the T-valve.
- Connect to Bidet Seat: Attach the other end of the bidet hose to the connection on the bidet seat, ensuring it is firmly secured.
- Install Deodorizing Cartridge (Renew Plus only): For the Renew Plus seat, install the deodorizing cartridge into the designated slot on the side of the seat.
- Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn on the water supply to the toilet. Check all connections for leaks immediately and again after 5 minutes.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a GFCI protected electrical outlet.
