Good morning.
I've purchased a Brondel Bidet seat (basic,non-electric) and fitted it to my UK close-coupled toilet.
I knew it would come with US fittings but researched before purchasing and saw that NTP to BSP adaptors were fairly readily available so thought that connection to the cold feed to the toilet would be straightforward enough.
The included T-connector is described as 7/8 x 7/8 x 3/8 with the flexi-hose connecting to the 3/8 and to the same on the bidet seat itself. By referencing pipe thread tables, I doubted this 3/8 value and obtained an adaptor that gave me a 1/4 NTP male to connect the flexi to. This proved to be (just) too small and the threads seem much 'coarser' than on the incuded T. I contacted Brondel who confirmed that the male on the T was 3/8 so acquired a further adaptor to give a 3/8 NTP male (to take the flexi). I just knew this 3/8 male would be too big to and this proved to be the case.
I must be missing something. This 7/8 x 7/8 x 3/8 T seems a fairly standard connector in the US but what on earth are the actual threads?
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Steve
