Installing a Veken Bidet

- I miss having a bidet now that we are back in the states so decided to install one. Since we don't have room for a stand alone model I opted for a Veken Ultra Slim Dual Nozzle All-in-one Bidet. I ordered it from Amazon for $50. This is a how to video, installation takes about 10 minutes.
HAHAHA. I did not expect the ending! Thanks for the video, I'm about to install my own and this was very helpful!
Believe me, it was a surprise to me too! LOL Thanks for watching. :)
I didn’t know I’d enjoy a bidet installation video this much. You guys are my new favorite people
I am so sorry for the late reply! I hope we are still among your favorite people! We will have 2 new bidet installation videos soon (a bum gun on one toilet and and integrated heated toilet seat that heats water and blows you dry on the other toilet). Thanks for your kind comment and for watching our video!
LOLOLOL....Me either ~ ~ ~ ~
I just want to say THANK YOU!!! I have never installed anything bigger than a wall pictures and this video helped me not to be intimidated. I followed your vid step by step and it worked! I love our new bidet already and I love how dedicated you are on making this vid #pantsdown. Keep it up!
You are very welcome! I'm honored that I was able to help you with your project. I enjoyed making the video, it was "refreshing". LoL
You are welcome! Thanks for letting me know this was helpful for you. Enjoy your bidet! Good idea to keep that towel separated from the “face towels”!lol
I really want this bidet apparatus but had a $12,000 remediation and repair bill (mostly covered by insurance) after toilet water line leaked all day when we weren't home. I'm hesitant to do anything that could add more leakage opportunities. But you and your wife are charming and a great team (I watched her bidet video first), and helped me understand the installation if I do get one.
OMG! I would be very hesitant to mess around with my plumbing after that too! :o We are enjoying it and there have been no mechanical difficulties at all with it. I hope you get the opportunity and plumbing right and can try it.
I can’t believe I did by strictly following your video step by step. I had absolutely no problem at all which is a first for me when trying to anything requiring a screw driver. I can’t tell how refreshing it was on my first use. I felt I should celebrate with a glass of wine. Looking forward to my next bathroom visit 😁👍🏼. Thank you and I’ll make sure to put a towel where no one will use on their face😂
Thank you for your comment. You made our day! LOL about the butt towel. We've learned, it's paper towels sitting off to the side for us now. Hmm, wine and a bidet, gives a new definition to a "wine spritzer" :)
I ENJOYED HIM SO MUCH. I WATCHED WENDY'S VIDEO THAT ENLIGHTENED ME ON OTHER USES OF A BIDET SHE MADE A FEW YEARS AGO.. SHE STILL LOOK GOOD. I NEEDED THIS LAUGH TODAY. I APPRECIATE YOU YOU BOTH. 🙂🙂🙂💕
And we appreciate you! Thanks for watching!
Your wife Wendy is the best, and lucky to have you install it for her ;)
I absolutely agree 😍 Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, you walked me through installing my bidet! The only hiccup was the flimsy teflon tape that came in the box, but once I bought a better roll, I was successful!
Glad it all went smoothly for you! Thanks for watching!
My kids would have a blast with this. Scared to install one...
Lol! Thanks for watching!
This was great! Love your sense of humor! 😂 😂 😂
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Fantastic brother, I will be purchasing this Bidet because of the hands on experience that you have showed and gave to me. Thank you! Chat loved it ty
Thank you for watching! Glad it will be helpful for you. Let me know how it goes.
Just bought one your video cracked me up great info. And great energy pro stuff I can't believe you showed a demonstration very cool 😎😎😎
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it. I had a blast 😆
Awesome video, thank you for taking the time to make it. Everyone who doesn’t have a Bidet is missing out!
Thanks for the compliment! We agree with you, bidets are pretty neat.
Been wanting one for a while! Ordered it from Amazon and watched your video enough that I hooked it up without the instructions. Thanks again!
Us too! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching. :)
Just got mine today. I'll install it after I get home from work. Thanks for the video. It was very informative and funny!
That is so cool! I hope you like it. Thanks for watching and the compliment. :)
Lol, I can’t stop laughing 😂 Thank you for the Tutorial it was great fun and entertaining!! You made things look so easy, can’t wait to install mine.😀
What a nice note! Thanks for your comment. Good luck with your installation. Let us know how it went and your review of your bidet. :)
Installed no problem, using with no ill effects. The cold water is not that noticeable. Works great!
Awesome! Thanks for leaving the comment, and watching the video.
Wife and I are in tears 😂😂😂 Thank you!
We received one as a gift and are debating on installing it... can’t say this video helped, but was thoroughly enjoyable and informative. Thank you.
LOL! Thanks for sharing your comments. I'm glad I could at least give you a laugh, if not assistance for installing your bidet. :)
I just got mine because my son lacks in the wiping 🧻 department, and installed it about 30 min ago, he’s yet to try it but I did and had a “refreshing” experience and can tell it’s going to work out great! If you haven’t installed it, go for it! Takes about 30-45min and will keep you sanitary!!
That was a gem of a video, thank you!! 😂😂
Thanks for watching!
Loved your video because I'm about to buy this unit. I'm married to an experienced construction guy and he would say you're tightening everything down too much. Just my first impression. If it works, it works, but my husband taught me to tighten "gently", especially with plumbing. I loved seeing your wife at the end of the video but wished she had made comments about the feminine side of things.
Sorry for the late reply. I will take your information and apply it to the 2 new models I will be installing soon (a bum gun on one toilet and a full seat, hot water integrated blow drying model on the other). BTW, did you see my wife's review on this model? She gives her thoughts there. Overall she wasn't satisfied which is why we are going to be trying two new models. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Thanks for the video. My instructions didn't say what to do with the tape, so I'm glad you cleared that up for me. Also found out my bolts were too short after putting the bidet on, so that was an extra trip to the hardware store. Also found out that my toilet seat has a lip underneath that catches on the bidet, so I'll have to get a different seat that sits flat.
Thanks for the comments. Sorry you had additional hardships with your toilet adapting to the bidet. I later found out from a viewer that the tape isn't necessary on "compression fittings". But I used it anyway and now I feel "doubly" secure it won't leak! LOL. Good luck with your bidet! :)
You are so funny 😂 thanks for the demo I’m looking forward to attempting this on my own. Wish me luck😏
Thanks for watching! Good luck, let us know what kind you got and how the installation went. :)
Super helpful and AWESOME ending...
Thanks for your comment and for watching.
That was awesome!! I will most definitely get this bidet. Thanks!!!!! :)
Thanks for you comment! I hope you find it as easy to install as I did. We did a video review of the bidet on our channel. Let us know what YOU think of your bidet. :)
LOL felt the same first try. They are great.
Thanks for your comment and for watching!
I did not expect a full demonstration !! hahha !
Glad to give you a little something extra 😉😂 Thanks for watching!
You have a very clean toilet seat, good sir.
I try! Thanks for watching!
Lmao very funny at the ending... I'm installing mine now 😁
Thanks for watching. Good luck with yours! :)
Thank You! You saved my Christmas!
Wow! Thanks, I just read that out loud to my wife, wanted to let her know that. LOL Seriously; thanks for the comment. Have a nice Christmas. :)
Thanks for walking me through this. You are really cool. Glad it hits the correct "geographical location"...haha!
Thank you for your nice comment and for watching!
Thank you so much for showing us. We just purchased one and we're a little intimidated.
You're welcome. We discovered them in a trip to Europe. My wife actually has a video about how to use a bidet she made in Italy. It's on our RUclips channel. She is getting ready to do a video review of this bidet, stay tuned! :)
Easy to install, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxjA-hDN2m8_mi0Dg0JD8U6QiArozIAc4I and comfortable. No idea what other people were talking about when they said it was difficult to install or uncomfortable.
Thanks for watching!
This is a great video.
Thanks for watching! We plan to have a review video soon. Spoiler we don't like the all in one as much as the stand alone.
👍 Good information 👍
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video, I’m a visual person so I needed to see a tutorial. I followed step by step but sadly I don’t have a wrench so I can’t get the t valve tightened and water is leaking everywhere. I’ll buy a wrench and try again. Great video 😂
Thank you so much for your comment! Sorry your's is leaking. Hopefully, the wrench will take care of that problem. Let us know what you think of the bidet! :)
Very helpful and pretty funny!
Thanks for your comment and watching!
Your video was so helpful. Thank you.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
We have one but we like the brand Clear Rear works great!
We had not seen the Clear Rear in our search for an add-on bidet. Thanks for the note, and for watching!
Thank you
You're welcome. :) Thanks for watching and the comment.
I appreciate the video. I bought two and was thinking about sending them back after realizing my old Flow Tight shut off valves and lines need to be replaced too. But, I saw that using angled 1/2" x 3/8" SharkBite push valves made it easy to DIY to change these out. So, now I'll either go to the hardware store or just shop at Amazon for the valves and braided hoses. I wasn't planning on having a big project, but it's probably for the best since these old contractor grade valves and lines from 2005 tend to fail around this time and that can be a massive problem.
Update: It's interesting that my one toilet water valve just failed and prevented water flow to the tank. Weird! In any case I decided it was also time to change out my toilet seats too. BTW - In order to hold the bidet assembly in place I taped the bidet assembly to the top of the toilet bowl near the tank so that the bidet assembly wouldn't move and this made it much easier to mount the toilet seat and bolts on top of the bidet assembly.
One more thing: Do Not Use The Teflon Tape Provided. It is unnecessary and might cause leakage. However, I did put some 'Magic Lube' lubricant/sealer on the male threads.
Good luck with your installation. I suspect that after changing out your valves and all the mess and hassle that involves, you will find that installing the bidets so easy, it will feel like a fun project. Thanks for watching our video! :)
@@WhileAwayWithUs It was a real pain in the arse (the valve not the bidet) since I hardly had any room to work. At least nothing is leaking. Also, the water hitting my backside isn't as shockingly cold as I thought it would be. I also wrapped that long hose to the bidet around the back of the toilet tank connection in order to hide it better and it looks nice and is hardly noticeable.
@@stevewollam6514 Thanks for the update! Way to go with a lot more work/skills than we have. Glad all your plumbing is behind you (pun intended)! We thought about getting the "add-on" version that heats up the water, but we are cheap and decided against it.
@@WhileAwayWithUs Our water temp is just fine but we have an unfinished basement and I vent heat to the basement. This makes the basement temperature currently at 64°F and that's also the cold water line temp to the bidets. The outside air temp is 32°. On Another Note: I did develop a small leak with the T adapter and Fill Valve on the bidet in the master bath. It seems I had too much tension on the braided lines and one line was pulling on the T adapter and Fill Valve (creating a bind) and this created a leak. I'm glad I noticed it before we had any damage. It might be a good idea for people to put a piece of paper towel under the toilet valve and tank connection and check (from time to time) to make sure everything is okay. I ended up changing out my old Fill Valve inside the toilet tank since it seemed that this was causing a leak too. I cleaned the inside of the tank around the hole where the grommet/seal (for the Fill Valve) is located. The rubber on the old Fill Valve was worn and when tightening the bidet T adapter the Fill Valve would move too and this movement helped to create a leak due to an improper seat/seal. It seems that the bind on the T adapter caused it to leak some too. Anyway, I'm glad I noticed the leak and had a spare Fill Valve and adjusted the braided lines. I do usually keep a spare Fill Valve and Flapper on hand.
@@stevewollam6514 Thanks for the follow up. Excellent ideas you have. I have also placed paper towels under any plumbing work I do, to make sure I can catch any small leaks that I failed to stop. As for your comment about (once the water is out of the back) cleaning and, if needed, replacing any hardware in the tank, I wish I had mentioned it!
😱😂😂👍🏻 worth watching to the end!
Thanks for your comment. Great pun by the way. lol
omg that was hilarious. nice work
Glad I could give you a laugh! Thanks for watching!
You could even take the two back feet off of your toilet seats original feet where it touches the bidet. Thats what I did and then it touched down in the front better like it did before install of bidet.
Thanks for watching and your comment. Thanks for the tip. :)
Found out that I have a toilet that was installed when Moses wore short pants... I need to change the water connection since I have a solid copper pipe going into the tank.
Thanks for watching! When Moses wore short pants 😂 Sorry to hear about the difficulty. Good luck!
@@WhileAwayWithUs I actually got it done and I’m loving this bidet! Installation was a breeze thanks to your guidance!
The thought of using cold tap water to wash my parts 🥶
It’s really not that bad, though heated water versions are available for a little more.
@@WhileAwayWithUs I did purchase a Toto washlet that does have warm water - very nice feature. I'm still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles. LOL
I love this bidet and your video really helped. I recently bought a new toilet with no exposed bolts and now my bidet won’t fit with the toilet seat. Any suggestions?
I'm glad the video could help initially. Sorry to hear you're having problems with fitting the new toilet. Maybe you could reach out to the Veken? Or you may just need another model.
J'aime le moment d'absence à 13.34 minutes 🤣
😂🤣 Thanks for watching!
I LOVE this video!!! Eric, you are a nut! But I already knew that! When it shot all the way across the bathroom!! LOL!!! Did you REALLY pull your pants down? Seriously? Last time, I did it!!
Yes to your question, and that was a real demonstration/review of the bidet's function!
Hahaha 😂... I also made the mistake of turning it on without a but cover over it 🙃
very funny. God bless.
Thanks for watching!
Lmao this is amazing. Thank you!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. :)
Does this have a self cleaning option?
Hi, this particular model does not but there are others that do. And after having this one for a while if I had it to do over I would definitely pay a little extra for the self cleaning model. Thanks for watching!
A great little trickle....Thanks this seems easy to install. Wendy how is the feminine part?
I did a review on it ruclips.net/video/RWsCqJha-IE/видео.html .But since this review my dissatisfaction has grown and now I am looking for another model. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
Oh Helll..... I laughed so hard at you video. Too funny.
Thanks for the comment! :)
Had to laugh. The look on your face when the spray shot out towards the mirror was priceless. And then you said something to the effect that you didn't expect it. Really? Are you sure? Too funny.
I truly was surprised! Had some mopping up to do afterwards! LOL Thanks for watching our video and leavings note. We are glad you liked it.
@@WhileAwayWithUs It was fun. I can't stand videos where the person filming it acts like they're on vaudeville with all the exaggerated posturing and facial expressions. I'm 100% sure your expression was real! Thanks again for the laugh.
Nice video. Does the toilet seat and inside of the toilet get really wet and messy after you use the bidet ? That is my concern .
Not really, you do have to get use to how much force and what angles works and what doesn’t though. If I were to make any change it would be to get a self cleaning one. I clean our sprayers weekly but sometimes worry it’s not enough and bacteria is being pulled into the encasement.
How is it holding up 2 months later? I'm considering buying this model
So far it's working as advertised. Wendy has done a review of it and we are going to put that out this week.
😂 That was great! Thank you!
Glad you liked it. Your welcome. :)
@@WhileAwayWithUs I installed mine with confidence because of this video. It went well until I flooded my bathroom and caused a leak in my downstairs neighbors apartment. 😳 My shut off valve was ancient and faulty.
All was repaired and now I have a tiny, incredibly strong, booty shower!
@@mai-linhm3635 OMG! Those unexpected plumbing problems are nightmares! Glad it's ok now. Booty shower--that's funny!. :)
All your shown water lines have compression fittings so you don't need to use the teflon tape and you don't need to tighten them much, otherwise they will leak. Otherwise, good vid and funny. :)
Thanks Alex for the info. I didn't know that, I just thought you always had to put the tape on any metal-to-metal threads. Now I have learned something!
Question, comment on vérifie que c'est propre, combien de temps de séchage ?
I clean once a week, more if needed due to excess splashing. Thanks for watching!
i tried to install mine and it kept leaking from where you install the t adapter and the tank :( maybe it’s not tight enough but the inside starts to spin when i tighten it. i just rage quit and will try again later
Thanks for your comment. I was going to give it a thumbs up, but I didn't want to make it seem like I was liking your difficulty. You are not alone, I have heard from several people who have had some mechanical difficulties with the "add-on" bidets. Do you think some threads at the connection point are stripped? Perhaps plumber's tape, and if that doesn't do the trick, maybe send it back for a replacement.
I just bought this one today and set it all up but for some reason it keeps leaking the first time we didn’t use the washer and it didn’t leak as much as it does now that we put the washer in. We tightened it as much as we could and it still leaked a lot! 😔 We thought we didn’t tighten it enough but when we re-tightened our regular toilet with our bare hands and there was no leak so I’m not sure what the issue is 😭
Sorry to hear of your troubles with installation. When you say it's leaking, i assume you mean the line from the water supply to the Veken bidet? I can think of a couple of places/ways it's leaking. The washer is in backwards, (or upside down), so it is not "seated" properly, making a good seal.
Less likely (as I was informed by a viewer that this is not needed), the metal threads being screwed onto metal threads are not sealing well enough. If you did use the tape included, then this should not be the reason. Good Luck!
Please keep me informed.
As a 22 yo girl, DONT TRY THIS ON YOUR OWN! It’s not a simple installation and it’s a terrible idea if you have no plumbing experience. I was crying helplessly on the bathroom floor, my dad had to help me, we have to get a new toilet part, and he told me his plumbing friend even thinks this is a pain in the ass. Get someone experienced to help you. Don’t read the comments saying it’s easy, because it isn’t and they’re getting paid to say that. Nonetheless it’s a wonderfully explained and funny video, just wanted to throw this caveat before anyone thought they would go out in a whim like me and try it without any background experience.
Thanks for watching! Sorry about your experience. Unfortunately unforeseen situations can arise on DIY projects. Look on the bright side now you have a bidet! 🙂
Look Ma, no more racing stripes!
😂 Thanks for watching!
That’s why I bought one. My son seems to always forget the toilet paper or not use it properly. Hopefully this will be a blessing. I just installed it about an hour ago and it works great! Can’t wait for him to give it a try. lol! 😆
@@madubt Hope it’s working out for you 😆
At laughed at your demonstration 😅 but i have a question, is the water cold? Or can you make it warm?
Thanks for watching! The water on this model is cold but recently we installed one with warm water, see it here ruclips.net/video/u9SeCIVr5zw/видео.html
@@WhileAwayWithUs thank you
I LIKE MINE WHICH I GOT FROM LOWES
What model?
@@WhileAwayWithUs smartbidet sb-500
OH JESUS
That's what I said when I turned the water pressure on too high!
Great instructional video! LMAO
Thanks for the comment and watching the video. It was fun installing it, but I knew it would be funnier if I tried it out as well. Glad you liked it! :)
I am so annoyed.. Thank you for the video.. Everything went together flawlessly..no leaks.. except the booty washer part will Not turn off.. any ideas? about to google madly for a troubleshooting guild and hope hope hope that i do not hav to uninstall this and wait on/install another one as I've just installed this one in THE Smallest bathroom ever.. seriously.. the floor space is equal to the size of the toilet and that was really hard to install (for that reason). *sigh* smh
OH no! Im so sorry you are having this problem. :( All I can think of is that the "controller" knob is broken or misaligned. Please let me know how it's going and what you found out.
@@WhileAwayWithUs i couldnt really find anyone else with the same problem... and no toubleshooting guides that i could find. I tried to take the bidet apart to see if i could plug the leak somehow.. but its all snapped together.. no screws.. so i'm sending it back for a refund.. I don't believe they have tht model in stock right now so i might upgrade and try and find one that works. Thank you for the video..made it easier to install..and thx for the reply :) Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New yr!
@@lushpaw1 Darn, really sorry to hear of your complications. Another person wrote that they could never get water to come out at all. I suspect that for the price, (if you got one as inexpensive as ours - $50) sometimes the quality of manufacturing suffers. Way to go with keeping at it and trying another! Good luck, - hopefully the new year will be better in everyway!
Happy New Years!
I just got mine. Looking forward to a cleaner asshole!
😂 Thanks for watching!
Please help! Am I the only one who has water spraying through the gap between the toilet bowl and the seat
Hi, it sounds like your nozzles are misaligned. Try reseating the bidet on the toilet. If that doesn’t work try adjusting the nozzles by hand. But don’t break it 😉 if still no luck I would return it.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Ending kinda sus
Thanks for watching!
Heu, oui, mais il aurait fallu prendre des cours de plomberie avant de faire votre vidéo 🤦♂️
Hopefully the bidet is ok. Thanks for watching!
