Your video is a lifesaver. I am a 62 year old nurse who knows nothing about do it yourself projects. I was fairly easily able to install this bidet by following your video. I needed it quickly as my daughter had surgery and this will make her life much easier and cleaner. Thank again!

Two tips from a rank amateur ; If the grommets seem too large for the holes, drop the screws into the grommets and just push them straight down. To position the seat forward and back move the washers forward or back on the bracket, thus moving the bracket. Excellent video.

THANKS! Good tip on the grommets. Sounds like some people are having trouble with smaller diameter holes in the ceramic casting and you're approach just might work.

Great video, very easy to follow. The only headache was trying to blindly screw the Washlet water supply hose on to the provided T nozzle behind the toilet. I ended up disconnecting the water supply hose from the tank first, attaching the Washlet hose, then reconnecting the whole assembly to the tank.

for the issue with grommets not fitting i actually cut it up and screwed on from the bottom while leaving the top in the hole. i know this is not the most conventional solution but i had tried everything else so far it is holding up great

You can loosen the screws and adjust the washlet to push towards the tank another 1" or so, this will halp the seat sit in place a little better. it also will look a little cleaner closing that gap..

This was a very well done piece of instruction. I am moving my Washlet to another toilet and can find nothing on how to remove the rubber grommets from the toilet top, to install on the new toilet. They were difficult to insert (I used Vaseline) and I am dreading trying to remove them. Any ideas?

@ItsFixable 2 ай бұрын

Glad it was helpful! I'm not sure those grommets are salvageable it they were that tight of a fit. I've read that some people cut them off underneath after removing the screw in order to get them out. You can buy a new set of grommets on Amazon for about $9!

Thanks for your sage advice. I did get them out, with a struggle, using Nipple Cream and lock plyers, but ordered a spare kit from Amazon just in case, for about $8.00@@ItsFixable

@jeffreybreitbart7118 Жыл бұрын

Those damn things don't fit and I probably will have to hire a plumber to fix the toilet, return the TOTO to Amazon and I'm in big trouble with this building I am moving into. Lucky me, the "affordable housing" came through after a 15 year wait list. Trust me, the paperwork when you have health issues and are on disability make you want to die. I watched several installation videos and it should have been easy but so far I've broken 3 bones dealing with the move from hell. I probably set the healing process back or maybe I tore my shoulder again. So if you can imagine the most primal scream right now...Losing my parents, 3 surgeries, Covid (I take 25 pills every day; its true if you aren't healthy you're fucked, in every way).Life sucks beyond imagining. But at least I'm not bathing and drinking the Shigella infested waters of the Ganges so I shouldn't complain.

I have a Toto C5 and the seat keeps loosening. I take it off, tighten the screws, put the seat back on, make sure it doesn't move and a few days later the seat is loose again --- 🙄 any ideas would be appreciated. I hand tighten with a screw driver.

@ItsFixable Жыл бұрын

Mmm... seems odd. I remember having to turn those screws quite a bit as they were long and it took a lot of twists to fully compress the rubber retaining anchors. I haven't had anything loosen yet.

@johno7149 8 ай бұрын

I did a toto washlet install and the bracket is tight down to the toilet. Once the seat clicks in there is movement in the seat unrelated to the bracket. I guess that's the design. When weight is put on the seat it locks down. The toilet is a one piece toto elongated design so it fits perfect.

@mikewolthoff1568 3 ай бұрын

I think I’m having the same issue. My bracket seems tight still but my seat seems to squeak now when I sit on it. Seems like the back of the seat seems to have some play in it. Good video though. Helped me to take it off and try to fix it

@donnad8430 Жыл бұрын

OK, I used a little foaming hand soap and I still cannot get the grommets inserted. I have a Kohler toilet bowl. Perhaps the holes in the porcelain are simply too small?

@ItsFixable Жыл бұрын

I'm thinking that if they won't fit, simply switch to bolts and thumb nuts used on regular toilet seats. I see no reason why they wouldn't work to secure this washlet.

@donnad8430 Жыл бұрын

@@ItsFixable Now I can't get the grommets out of the holes. There is a metal threaded sleeve inside the bottom inch of the grommet that is now jammed in the holes for each of the grommets. In trying to remove the rubber grommet I tore the rubber. This is going back to Amazon. I tried to call Toto but there is no one on duty to answer questions on the weekend. When do they think working people do projects like this? I'm very frustrated and disappointed in TOTO. I looked on the instructions to see if there were any cautions about attempting to install on a Kohler toilet and I was not able to locate anything.

@ItsFixable Жыл бұрын

Since they are already damaged, cut off the top rubber flange with a knife and then use the bolt as a punch to tap the remaining piece down and out the bottom of the hole. Then perhaps try mounting it with new, standard seat bolts and thumb nuts.

@donnad8430 Жыл бұрын

@@ItsFixable I pulled off the rubber above the part that was stuck in the porcelain, sprayed some silicone around the top and underneath, used an L shape needle nose pliers to grab the metal grommet from the inside, twisted to one side and the remainder of the grommet popped out. Amazon is accepting the return and paying postage. I can't believe I am the only customer who has experienced this issue. Thank you for your continued interest in helping me get this straightened out.

@ItsFixable 6 ай бұрын

Is the seat hitting the tank when you slide it on? if so, you need to move the bracket toward the front of the toilet. Other than that I can't think of any reason it shouldn't clip in.

@gulopac1 Ай бұрын

Who's got an outlet next to the toilet?,

@ItsFixable Ай бұрын

I did a complete renovation of the bathroom and installed the outlet at that time. You can view that process here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htCdpcKHnJ-Rpnk.html The desire for bidet features in home bathrooms is continually growing and therefore its a reasonable expense to have an outlet install. Even if you don't plan to immediately have the system, the outlet adds potential resale interest/value to the property; research shows that both modernized bathrooms and kitchens are the two most compelling sales features in homes.

How to make the screws tightly?

@ItsFixable 2 ай бұрын

Your question is unclear. Are you saying that the grommets aren't sugged up by turning the screws? You should be able to tighten the screws quite a bit in order to squeeze the grommets causing them to tightly grip the ceramic.

@juditrampf101 2 ай бұрын

Video is helpful, but we could NOT get the rubber grommets in the toilet holes. Dropped in the Toto toilet, the Kohler….not so much at all. We used Vaseline and ended up having to carve it down an file the toilet hole. Not all toilets are created equal!

@juditrampf101 2 ай бұрын

Of course we went and got replacement bolts and washers, as I read on other sites people had to, then we tried it and used a rubber mallet and it went in. This is NOT an easy part to get in if you don’t have a Toto toilet!

Sounds like a good solution though!

It would have been better to run the hose behind the toilet, and come back towards the tee so all the hose is hidden behind the toilet, not at the side. Good demo !
