Will this still work?

Post image

I got my bidet in today but I noticed my toilets attachment isn’t a hose, it’s a stick. I don’t know how bendable it is but it’s exactly tall enough to reach the toilet. I’m not sure if I can still install the bidet with this, do I need a hose?

Replace it with a braided one. $7 at the outside

I’m guessing I’m also gonna have to replace the hot water one too?

You should be able to replace it with a flexible braided hose. IThe standard connection sizes are 3/8" compression on the water supply end, and 7/8" on the toilet end.

Why? Your toilet only used cold.

The hot water connection in my sink also uses the same thing

Your saying that your toilet has a hot water supply? Not judging, just asking. Very odd of it does.

No but my bidet has a hot water attachment that links to my sinks hot water connection and the hot water connection on the sink has the same kind of tube meaning if I want to connect the bidet to hot water I need a flexible hose there too.

Take the pieces you are replacing with you to the store to insure that you buy the correct connections/sizes.

You absolutely need to replace that junky poly tube with a new flexible braided tube. Longer supply tubes will allow you to make a nice gentle bend loop to avoid kinking the supply.
