ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a bidet attachment for mounting on a standard toilet. A nozzle is mounted on the underside of the toilet seat. Water is supplied to the nozzle through a conduit from a water supply pipe. The conduit is connected to the pipe with a T-tap having two halves. The two halves are bolted together and a hole is drilled through the pipe using a special tool. The conduit is secured to the T-tap with a crimping collar that slides over a tapered extension on the T-tap. Water flow rate is controlled by a cam valve. The cam valve can be opened and closed with a control handle to place a selected amount of squeeze on the conduit to allow a selected amount of water to flow through the conduit.
