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

Must have for the bidet if water pressure is high. Effective in throttling the water pressure. Easy to install. Good build quality. Would buy again and the price is right.

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 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.

good qualtiy, past so many years, still shining as original.

This was very easy to install, looks good and seems to be well constructed. The shut off valve operates smoothly and with little pressure applied. There was no issue with leaks and though time will tell how well it stands up, I'm optimistic.

Does what it is supposed to do. I particularly like that it has its own shutoff valve, so if I need to unhook the bidet for any reason I don't have to unscrew the whole mess from the toilet (because that was a nightmare, let me tell you - my toilet is in an awkward position for this). Have had it installed for about a month now, no leaks or other problems.

Works great. No leaks whatsoever, as soon as I hooked it up. Isolation valve on unit completely shuts off / throttles bidet spray power as it should. Much better than the flimsy plastic adapter that came with the Neo 185. Didn't really trust it (particularly the female part of the adapter), although it didn't leak.

Purchased a bidet and this came as a recommended attachment so I ordered it as part of the bundle. The bidet came with it's own 3-way adapter, but figured since I paid extra for this one, and it has a shut off I may as well use it. No matter how much i tightened it, it leaked. When I removed it , the washer was jambed inside the main line to the toilet and I had to scoop it out with a screw driver, just poor quality Used the one that came with the bidget, (much better designed washer), zero issues at all.
