How is a plumbing bidet typically installed?

A plumbing bidet is typically installed by connecting it either to the toilet's water supply line or directly to a faucet supply. This installation method takes advantage of existing plumbing and ensures that the bidet can function properly by receiving the necessary water supply for cleaning purposes.

Connecting the bidet to the toilet water supply is common because it allows the bidet to utilize the same source of water that fills the toilet tank, which is typically a cold water supply. In some cases, the bidet may also be connected directly to a dedicated faucet supply, which can provide a more flexible installation option, especially in bathrooms designed specifically for bidet use.

This approach is practical, as it minimizes the need for additional plumbing modifications and keeps the overall installation process simpler and more cost-effective. A bidet requiring its own independent plumbing line or being wall-mounted would complicate installation and maintenance, which is not typical for standard installations.
