Bidet assembly for toilets
Abstract
A bidet assembly comprises at least one jet nozzle, connected to a multi-port tube fitting, which is connected to a water supply tube, which may comprise of four sections, and which is connected to the toilet bowl refill nipple, and a non-permanent mounting means. Said bidet assembly is a one-size-fits-all for retrofitting toilets of all sizes and shapes, has no moving parts, valves or controls and which provides fine jet streams of cool water spray—even from chilly cold water source—for cleansing a user's private parts during a toilet bowl refill cycle. Said bidet assembly is mounted inside and behind a toilet tank and inside a bowl and, therefore, is completely hidden from view and keeps water from splashing outside of the bowl. Said bidet assembly can be mounted or removed without tools, in less than two minutes and leaves neither mars nor damage on a toilet.
