#4 Can your hand held spray be attached to the mixer tap on a conventional bidet?

Good question – a traditional bidet/bidette would certainly be much more useful with a hand-held bidet attached!

While doing this is certainly possible; you may have trouble getting an adapter for the thread on the mixer outlet (it is a different size to the hose attachment on a hand held bidet).

You may also need to install a pressure limiting valve on both the hot and cold input pipes if your water pressure is over 350kPa (50psi). We do sell these items separately for folks who want to configure their own installation: ‘Separate Supply Line Assembly’ Model: H-24 *(without the tap & cover plate).
We can also supply this valve with 15mm compression nipples both ends for fitting in-line (same price).

One way around this expense is if you ALWAYS use the mixer to turn the water on and off. The ‘Hang” brand bidets are ideal here because if you pull the operating lever up, the water flow will stay permanently on.
Remember; plumbers will not normally install hand-held bidets to a public water supply in Australia without the mandatory back-flow prevention devices. These are expensive, both to buy initially and to maintain (please see our page on Backflow Prevention).
