My hi-rise apt bldg has commercial-like toilets (without tank + std. residential plumbing) - how do I connect? Can I connect to sink H2O just 2' away?

Yes and no: You CAN connect to your sink, but you'll probably (almost definitely) need an adapter or two, and you might need to connect where in a cabinet or something. Also keep in mind you'll be knocking poop into your sink; it won't always wash right down and could ultimately clog your drain. Backspray might also wind up places you don't want it. That said, there *should* be some access point somewhere to your toilet for emergency shut-offs. Sometimes there is a panel behind or near the toilet that will be covering the shut-off valve. There's a shut-off somewhere, you just need to find it, although it might be inconveniently far from the toilet itself. You might also considering hooking up to the sink in your kitchen if you have a disposal; same problem with reach and cabinets and adapters, but worth consideration. For that matter, you can hook up to ANY pipe bringing water into the house; just needs to be fitted and practical.

We had the same thing.... we had to get a stoicism valve and actually attach it to the showerhead (ours was removable, ensure yours is too). The nice part about that is you can control the temp of the water (hot is nice for cleaning the diapers but, excuse the pun, crappy for aerosolizing the poop). Hope it helps

You may be able to connect to the sink. Take a look under the sink to see if there are similar hoses/connectors. You may need to buy an adapter to do it, as others have already said. Since your sink is only 2 feet away, you can still probably rinse into the toilet. I've seen this set up on YouTube videos of diaper sprayers, and I guess it's really nice because you can stow the sprayer away in the cabinet out of sight.

Maybe, if you have access to the water lines under the sink. Check YouTube videos to see how instalation is made to see if you can do something similar.

Yes, the cold water connection is before the tank via t-connector so you probably won't burn your bum. Also most toilets have a one way fill valve.

I installed one in our home about 2 months ago. How thick is the total thickness from top of surface to underside of counter top? As I recall, there is a threaded pipe with @ least 2 inches of thread. You put the lock washer on and run up the nut to secure. As far as the water lines which are about 3 feet long, how far away is the incoming water? Your probably OK but if need be, you could buy an extension. TIP - I found it was very helpful to color code the water lines on the small picture showing the setup connections.The connection diagram was very small and when black lines cross black lines its too easy to make a mistake. Good luck - Richard from S.C.

Directions come with the bidet. One hose connects to the water flow to the toilet (cold water) and the other hose connects to the hot water supply from your bathroom sink. You actually are replacing the hoses that exist with new hoses and connectors. The connectors allow you to attach the bidet. I had to replace some of my parts (shut off valves; old ones would not shut off ) under my sink but it only cost me about another $30.

The unit is quite easy to install. An electrical outlet must be available near the unit. The unit comes with an adapter to tap into the existing water supply for the toilet. If the existing water supply is not a flex hose, then I would recommend replacing it with a flex line. Would recommend using a GFI outlet.

None. Just make sure you have room under sink for specific model. Has nothing to do with hp

This is for the entire thing. Nothing else is needed. Another answer refers to tubing, The connectors for totos are short so if your pipe configuration behind the toilet is not exactly what the toto calls for you may need to purchase an extender.

It will slightly hang off the front of the smaller round toilets but works fine. It can be connected to any convenient water supply, typically the toilet supply will suffice. A line to the sink will be required for hot water but is not required.

Where can I obtain extensions to have this unit sit higher? My toilet is a high-efficiency one that sits at 32.5", therefore the unit didn't work.

I'm sure there is... I don't know the product you'd need though... Perhaps you could rig something...? The thing is that there's not too much clearance from the bottom of the python "drain" and the bottom of the sink (only a few inches - 3?), typically... Meaning the h20 comes back from the tank and drains in the sink - where it exits the python theres not much clearance --- kinda hard to explain....) Good luck~!

We live in an apartment also, and Danby provides you with everything you need to hook it up to an average kitchen sink. They give you a fitting that mounts on your faucet, and a quick disconnect on the hose so you can get it off easily. It vents into the sink, but we have to be careful to weigh the hose down or the water pressure forces it right out of the sink.

yes to both questions - can use distilled water & not use direct water hook up

Unfortunately you can't. Danby will spin a good tale and say the air is humid. You can call them on 1-800-263-2629. I did. Many times. They will refer you to a service agent who will say this is normal and advise you to run two pieces of garden hose from the drain ports to a bucket. The end result will be that they wash their hands of a very poor design and do nothing for you.I no longer use my unit as it's caused more damage to wooden floors that the unit cost.So, if you want to continue using it get some garden hose and a bucket. And good luck!

I paired this with a vessel sink works well. I had to buy water leads to hook up the water but it depends on where your supply comes out of the wall.

If your hot/cold water valve(s) is enclosed (say, under the sink in a cabinet) then you will need to drill a small hole for the tubing to reach it inside. Other than that, nothing drastic. Just be sure it's a 2-piece toilet. The unit didn't fit our old 1-piece American Standard toilet.

Please send question through your Amazon purchase order, that I can attach the plumbing spec to you. Thanks.
