I received my hoses with the ferrules today. Isn't there supposed to be some kind of tool included (as indicated in description) to install them?

I used a pair of small jewelry wire end cutter pliers (NOT SIDE CUTTER). which I modified by grinding them dull (rounded) so as not to cut the ferrule. They worked perfectly. Figure I can resharpen them if I have to.

No too came with mine. I installed the ferrules and twisted some wraps of thin wire to secure them.

The hose set that we received did not contain band crimping pliers. I would have been surprised if it did. We just used a dull pair of bull nose wire cutters to crimp being careful not to cut the clamp. There is a special tool made like the Ideal-Tridon 61001V Crimp Clamp Tool that Amazon sells for doing this job but wire cutters will work if they are dull and you are careful.

I didn't get a tool either--it would have been nice. I just crimped the keepers with a vice-grip tool.

I did not use any of the tools provided. Use your own ratchet and hex driver to tighten (even better if you have a powered drill adapter).

I bought this thing for my girlfriend. She is happy with the machine. As regards the installation I'd say that if you know a little about stops (the valves that lead from the copper pipe to the risers) the risers being the flexible pipes that connect to the bidet then all you need is a set of open end wrenches of the correct size. You might need a new ferrel as well. A ferrel is the little copper ring that seals the copper pipe to the stop on the incoming water side. Don't understand the control unit remote question. All the functions of the unit are controlled by the buttons on the right hand side of the bidet. I forwarded your message to Wendy so she can fill you in further if necessary.

Hi Steven, Mine came with the older style standard rubber type hoses. Quality seems quite acceptable.Regards......

I believe the ball valve is threaded. But I would assume if you wanted to use hoses you would need an adapter with a "spigot" tip to get hoses put on.

Yes, mine was missing the hose and they sent me one (bought it through amazon) you just need to fill out a form from their website

I bought a piece of flex hose and an adapter that is used to connect RVs to the sewer at campgrounds. Got it at Home Depot. There was a hose connector and hose. I sliipped the connector over the end of my blower and used a single piece of duct tape. Works incredibly well. Without having flex this device is useless

Our faucet did come with the hoses, it didn't come with the screw to tighten it to surface. We went to a plumbing supply house. NOT HD OR LOWES. But the place your plumber goes. They were able to match the parts we needed. Oh, our faucet came with directions for a KITCHEN SINK WITH A PULLOUT SPRAYER. These guys need to get their packing together.

Additional fittings and hoses can be found at Lowe's, Home Depot, or your local propane supplier. I found mine at my local propane dealer. If they are supplying you with propane, they should be glad to help with installation supplies.

You should not need anything extra. Just screww the female end of one hose onto the male end of the other.

It came with tools, but very difficult to install. Hopefully I will not have to go thru this again. Good luck

No it did not, I ended up getting them separately, but my plumber never used them. So I would check with your installer to see if they need them.

It takes about 5 minutes. Turn it upside down and you will see the hose connector with 2 Phillips head screws holding it in place. Remove them and then remove the hose connection. Then install the new one. The kit has instructions with pictures.

Insert end of hose. tip should b on the end or in the pack to attach the end. a little vaseline, on the tip, helps.

No, the ferrules are purchased separately. It is a good tool and has met our requirements.

just spoke with hubby who actually tapped them out........he says you need to tap them out from the bottom to the top....diagram sent with replacement pipes is actually correct....he used a punch the second time..........if you use a screwdriver you need a small enough one to fit into those small holes that you see when you used the handle to pull the pipes up...................SUZ

A word of advice though, when you put the hoses on make sure to put some kind of oil on where you attach them, it makes it much easier to remove them if needed. Also get new clamps especially if they look corroded.
