CHECK BOLT SPREAD
This bidet seat can only be installed on toilets with a bolt hole spread of 4.72 – 8.27 in.
(see Product Dimensions on page 7 for more information).
CHECK FOR TOP MOUNT INSTALLATION
If your fixture only has top-side access to the mounting bolts that hold the seat to the toilet, you
will likely need to purchase the Swash Bidet Seat Top Mount Hardware Kit, found on brondell.com.
CHECK FOR A CONCEALED TOILET FILL VALVE
Many modern toilets have sleek designs intended to cover and camouflage plumbing
connections, which make a standard Swash installation dicult or impossible. For this, we
recommend using our Alternate Swash Bidet Seat T-Valve, found on brondell.com.
CHECK WATER SUPPLY LINE
Check the line that connects the toilet tank to the water shut o valve. If it is a rigid pipe, you may
need to purchase a flexible hose to replace it before installing the Swash. The length of the hose
and the size of the connectors will vary.
RESIDUAL MOISTURE IS NORMAL
Every product is tested with pure water during production to ensure the highest quality and
performance. It is normal to find a small amount of residual moisture on the product and in the
reservoir and filter.
TOOLS
A Phillips head or standard screwdriver may be needed to remove the existing toilet seat and a
standard wrench may be needed for tight water supply connections. Teflon tape can be helpful in
creating a water-tight seal between plumbing connections.

3. Connect the top of the T-valve to the incoming water connection on
the bottom of your toilet tank.
4. Connect the water supply line coming from the wall to the bottom of
the T-valve.
5. Install Mounting Plate for Standard Installation
a. Place mounting plate over mounting holes on toilet, rubber side
facing down, arrow pointing to the toilet tank.
b. Place adjustable brackets flat side down in the center of the square
opening in the mounting plate and insert mounting bolts through
adjustable brackets and mounting holes. Be sure that the square
mounting bolt head is even with sides of adjustable bracket.
1. Existing Toilet Seat Removal
a. Lift hinge covers and use a screwdriver to remove the
mounting bolts.
b. Remove the toilet seat. Keep for future use.
2. Turn O Water Supply Valve and Flush Toilet
a. Turn water valve o to stop the flow of water.

empty tank.
c. Disconnect water supply hose from toilet tank. Do not
disconnect from the water supply valve.
PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Swash Installation
Please read these instructions carefully before installing the Swash.
Failure to do so could result in flooding, leaking or damage to the product.
NOTE: Steps may vary by type of seat and toilet.
NOTES
• You may wish to place a container under the tank to catch excess water.
• Do not continue without completing the above steps.
• Failure to do so could result in flooding, leaking or damage to the Swash.
NOTES
• The T-valve connects to the fill valve directly under your toilet tank - it
does not connect at the wall.
• Only connect to the cold toilet water supply line.
• If your water supply line is rigid you may need to replace the water
supply line before continuing.

6. Connect the Bidet Hose to the Seat
Connect the plastic side of the bidet hose to the water inlet.
Hand-tighten to secure. Take care not to twist the bidet hose,
excessively bend it, or strip the plastic screw threads when
screwing the hose onto the bidet seat.
7. Attach the Swash to the Mounting Plate
a. Set the Swash flat on the toilet bowl in front of the mounting
plate, and slide seat onto plate until it is secure.
b. If the seat appears too short or too long for the toilet, adjust
the mounting plate accordingly. To adjust the mounting plate,
loosen the nuts underneath the toilet and slide seat forward
or backwards as needed. Once the seat is lined up properly,
tighten the nuts to hold in place.
8. Connect the open end of the Bidet Hose to the T-Valve.
NOTE: For those with mobility issues, we recommend our Swash 1400
or Swash 1000 bidet seats, as their mounting systems are engineered
for the most secure transitions from wheelchairs or walkers.
9. Turn On Water Supply
a. Open the main water supply valve slowly and check for leaks.
b. Wait 5 minutes, check again and, if there are no leaks, continue.
10. Plug the Power Cord into an Electrical Outlet. Nozzle will extend
and retract.

NOTES
• Make sure to only use a grounded GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) electrical outlet. In
the case of a short circuit, a grounded GFCI outlet may help prevent electric shock or injury.
• If it is necessary to use an extension cord, only use those rated for a minimum of 15 amps
with a three-wire extension cord with a three-blade grounding plug.
11. Follow instructions on page 17 for using the Swash.

Step 1
NOTE: Customers with
hard water, well water, and
softened water can extend
the life of their bidet
seat by purchasing and
installing an external inline
water filter to be used
with the Swash. The bidet
filter should be changed
every six months, and can
be purchased online at
brondell.com.
