LUXE Bidet 7/8" x 7/8" x 1/2" Shut-Off Valve T-Adapter for Bidets, Only Compatible with NEO Series Bidet Attachments (Original Lever, Chrome Finish)

So far it’s good no issues I have it on for almost one year.

This is a review of "The Luxe Metal T-adapter with Shut off Valve, 3-way Tee Connector, Chrome Finish, for Luxe Neo Bidets." I installed this item with a new Luxe Neo 180 Bidet a little over a month ago. The installation was pretty simple, even in my very cramped bathroom. I only had one hiccup with this: I didn't tighten the bottom connection (coming from the water source) very well, and it leaked. Stupid me, I thought the leak was at the top connection (the inlet to the toilet tank). I'm lucky I didn't over tighten that one. When I finally figured it out and tightened the bottom one some more, then the leak stopped. The Neo 180 is a cold-water only bidet, so there was only the one connector to the bidet from the T-adapter with Shut-off Valve. I should mention that this is my first experience with any bidet, and I am oh so glad that I got this adapter! I've got the water source opened up good, and this adapter allows me to vary the pressure into - and more importantly - out of the bidet. It's a good thing I read the reviews on the Luxe Neo bidets, especially the ones that recommend you get this adapter! The idea of having a clean posterior after elimination really appealed to me, and that is why I got the bidet in the first place. But after reading the reviews, I imagined a Ralphie-type character (you know, the main kid from the movie "A Christmas Story") wanting a new bidet for Christmas. But when he tells people what he wants, they, of course, aren't aware of this T-adapter with Shut-off Valve, and so they are forever telling him, "A new Luxe 180 Bidet? You'll shoot your butt off kid!" Well, if you don't get this item, you really won't shoot your butt off, but it may feel like it! The plastic T-adapter that comes with the bidet does not have a valve to vary the pressure to the bidet, and you will probably want to turn down the pressure from your water source, and be very slow on the bidet switch. But this, of course, will affect how quickly your tank fills as well. I read another review where the user claims that this item also slows down the fill rate on their tank. Well I didn't time what my tank fill time was before the install, so I don't have any empirical evidence to compare. But my tank appears to fill up just as fast as it did before. So this is not a problem for me. I've got my water source valve pretty much wide open. Also, as I'm using the bidet, I've noticed that our water pressure to the house often varies anyway. So it's nice to be able to tweak this metal T-adapter "on the fly," so to speak. It's easy to reach without having to get up off the seat. This is very convenient for me due to the variable water supply pressure. If your water pressure is very constant, then you probably won't have to tweak the T-adapter hardly at all once you've got it set for your own comfort and cleanliness level. It will take some experimentation, but you can adjust the metal T-adapter as the bidet is being used. Pretty easy to set how you want it. Bottom Line: If you're going to install a Luxe Neo Bidet, then, in my opinion, this item is not optional. Seriously, it works just as advertised and saved a lot of grief with playing with the water source pressure. I gave it 5 stars because it saved me from shooting my butt off, and that is more than I can say for pretty much everything else I've bought on Amazon! -Fred

Perfect Fit and Finish for Luxe Bidet Users This shut-off valve T-adapter turned out to be exactly what I needed to complete my Luxe bidet setup. The nickel finish matches the rest of the hardware in the bathroom, and the teardrop lever makes it easy to control the water flow—smooth action, no sticking or wobble. Installation was straightforward, even for someone like me who isn’t especially handy; the fit to the existing Luxe Neo series bidet attachment was precise and leak-free on the first try. I appreciate that it feels solid and well-machined—no flimsy parts, and the lever has a reassuring firmness when turning it on and off. One thing to keep in mind: it’s designed specifically for Luxe Neo series attachments, so it may not be compatible with every bidet model out there. If you’re not using a Neo series, double-check before ordering. Bottom line: A well-built, easy-to-install accessory that adds reliability and convenience to a Luxe bidet system.

Although the premise of controlling the flow to the bidet without disturbing the flow to the toilet sounds great, the product leaks no matter what was tried. Looks like this is an ongoing issue with this product not working with the provided hoses. It leaks from the 15/16" threads. I tried plumbers tape... tried loosening, then tightening..re-seated it several times but the thing still leaked. Luckily the cheaper plastic T-connector (included with the LuxeBidet) works great and does not leak. I should have read more reviews on this product before ordering -- but live and learn. ***UPDATE*** After the customer support team received my email about my problems with the unit they immediately contacted me back and shipped a replacement. They are the best customer service people I have dealt with in recent years. Here was their explanation: "We will get this investigated right away. The T-adapters are working perfectly in 99% of the cases, however, a few complaints we had, we thought, were due to the black washer not being effective enough. In our newer shipment, we improved (thickened) the black washer. We will also look into your thought that it may be some incompatibility between the hose and the T-adapter. I have expedited the shipment of this T-adapter and you will get an email within 24 hours. If you feel that it is the hose, we will also reimburse for any expense that you may incur on purchasing a different hose. We will try our best to make sure that you get a working metal T-adapter for your bidet. We will also investigate this issue at our end. Feel free to contact us at anytime with any other questions or comments. Sincerely, Andy Customer Care" They shipped a replacement T-adapter and it worked perfectly... no leaks. One recommendation, just hand tighten the adapter and hoses... any extra torque appeared to foster leaking.

I installed the Luxe Neo 120 bidet of my elongated American Standard low flush toilet. The toilet itself is amazing but the seat that came with it is an absolute piece of cheap lightweight plastic junk. I thought for certain I would need a new seat. I must have lucked out because the Neo 120 installed perfectly with that seat and without the optional rubber seat-bumpers that Luxe sells. The installation was a total breeze. I also purchased this “Luxe Metal T-adapter with Shut-off Valve” even though some reviews weren’t so favorable. It shuts supply water off ONLY feeding the bidet and NOT the toilet. This is a very solid and heavy shut-off device, does not feel cheap in any way. This very high quality shutoff gives added security of knowing the supply water into the bidet can be shut off quickly & easily when not in use. I live alone and do not want to come home to a flood. (Many times though I’ve forgotten to shut it off for a day or two and feel fully confident in the high quality of the bidet itself.) I highly recommend this option for peace of mind. It's operation is "smooth as butter" and I love the simplicity of it. It is a 1/4 turn valve from fully open to fully closed. The shut off lever is small and inconspicuous. Some reviewers who feel the water pressure/force of the bidet is to harsh have said you can lower it by adjusting the lever on this valve. Working very slow the installation (bidet and valve) from start to finish took me about 25 minutes. No leaks anywhere.

These things are great. This is the second one we've bought, to install our second bidet (which I also highly recommend!). This really helped regarding the first bidet installation, which took maybe 30 minutes - and that was my un-handy brother doing it! If you're handy around the house, your installation would probably be even faster. Two thumbs up! 👍🏽👍🏽

I bought this to use with my luxe bidet neo 185 and I read all the reviews before and it seemed like there were a good amount of people having an issue where the water supply line doesn't thread onto this adapter right but I figured I would give it a shot anyways......well I have the same issue. I tried forever to get my water supply line threaded onto this and it will thread on just a tiny bit and will stop and of course leak all over because it's not threaded all the way on like it should. So I thought it was probably just my water supply line not compatible somehow with this adapter. So in the box with my luxe bidet neo 185 they give you another 12" braided mesh water supply line in case you need it and I tried to connect that to this adapter and same issue, it will thread on the first few threads then stop. So even the companies own water supply line will not thread onto their own T-adapter. I took this T-adapter to Home Depot and went to their toilet plumbing section and tried threading on multiple different water supply lines to see if any would fit and some actually threaded all the way on like it's suppose to but most didn't. The specs of the ones that actually fit are the same as the ones that didn't, so the threads on this T-adapter are picky which is why the reviews are either bad or great for this T-adapter. I ended up using the plastic T-adapter that came in the box with my luxe bidet neo 185 and it threaded on perfectly fine with my water supply line hose and there have been no leaks or anything. So I'm returning this metal T-adapter to Amazon, I wish I could have used it! (EDIT) 4/27/2015 I wanted to update this review with what I did, I wanted to get a working metal T-Adapter so I bought the one linked below and it works awesome, I just installed it and everything threaded on perfectly and no leaks or anything. It has an on/off lever just like this one so you can completely shut off the cold water supply going to your luxe bidet. So if you're looking for metal t-adapter avoid this luxe t-adapter and go with the "Aquaus Toilet Adapter/T-Adapter" here on amazon, $5 more but totally worth it.

I bought both this Luxe T-adapter and also the "Bella Bidet Solid Brass Metal T-adapter" and used them with the Neo Bidet 180 (I put one in each of our two bathrooms). The Luxe is much higher quality. The screw-on parts are longer on the Luxe. After you screw on the top to the connection at the bottom of your toilet tank, this T-adapter still swivels freely, so you can have your opening and also your shut-off valve right where you want them. That works really well, so you can connect the flexible metal water tube over to the bidet. Make sure you have everything lined up correctly, and don't screw this on crooked. Also, tighten it all by hand, and then give just a little tightening with your wrench. If you tighten it too much, it will leak! The little post sticking out is the water pressure valve for the bidet, not for the toilet tank. If you keep the post straight down, that is off (no water getting through to the bidet). If you turn the post all the way up, it will stick out to the side, perpendicular. That is full water pressure. We found that the water pressure was too strong when on full. So, this allows you to adjust the water pressure to just what you like. The bidet allows you to further control the water pressure, too. I highly recommend getting this T-adapter with the Neo Bidet 180 (or any of the Neo bidets, I think they all attach the same way). Just make sure you line it up carefully, and don't tighten it too much. I am in my mid-60's, and had no trouble attaching this with no leaks. (after I managed to get myself down on the floor!) My son and husband are very strong, and both of them ruined T-adapters by tightening them too much. You don't have to be strong to attach this.
