Add a Shower to your Toilet

Step 3 Assembly - Part 2

It's time to move things to the bathroom.

Locate the short piece of flexible hose that carries water from the valve to the toilet. Turn off the valve (turn it fully clockwise), then flush the toilet. This will drain the water in the tank.

With a rag under the valve, unscrew the hose from the valve and allow any remaining water in the hose to drain out.

Grab the splice you created in the previous step, and screw it onto the output of the valve. Make sure it's good and tight. Since this is a compression fitting, you won't need to use plumber's tape. Now screw the hose from the toilet onto the top of the T junction.

That's it! You'll probably want to add a hook somewhere for the sprayer. It help make everything a bit neater, and you won't trip over the hose when you stumble half asleep into the bathroom in the morning.

What is the point of adding a COLD shower to the toilet? Most toilets are close enough to the shower/bathtub, so why not just replace the shower head with the hose (for some reason this is a default setup almost anywhere except North America)?

It's for washing poop off a cloth diaper, not from your bum. It's more sanitary to wash it into the toilet than into the shower drain (eww!)

well, i use it for my bum, too, when my roids flare up... feels kinda good and gives me the cleanest a**hole in the state. (no more skid marks.)

Ahaaa (slap face)! It's a good idea then.
