The details..

Fit a Toilet and Bidet is an informative guide for anyone looking to install these bathroom fixtures. The author assumes that readers have basic knowledge of plumbing techniques as well as building construction. Safety precautions are emphasized throughout the book, such as wearing protective goggles and gloves when handling metal pipes or fittings.

The first section covers removing an old WC in detail, explaining each step involved in disconnecting the supply pipe, overflow pipe, flush pipe etc., before moving onto fitting a new close-coupled WC which includes assembling siphon kits and lever mechanisms according to manufacturer's instructions.

The next section explains how to fit over-rim supply bidets relatively straightforwardly while rim-supply type requires more complicated plumbing work that should be done by professionals who can ensure compliance with water bylaws. Supply pipes come in copper or plastic materials connected through soldered/compression joints or push-fit connectors respectively; adapter couplings are available for joining different sizes/materials together.

Lastly, this guide advises connecting new bidet wastes using 32mm (11/4in) taps/pipes made from plastic material joined via solvent-welded joints/push-fit connectors/compression joints depending on preference; rodding-eye fittings must also be included if traps cannot be removed easily so blockages can be cleared effectively.
