Connect the bidet warm water pipe to the water valve

[dave009]

Hi, I am trying to install a bidet in my restroom, but got stuck when i was trying to connect the warm water pipe.
Here the 3rd picture is the three-way connection that comes with the bidet, i am trying to unplug the existing pipe as shown in the 1st picture.
but i am not sure it is even possible to get the red circled part disconnected (and then connect the red circled part to the three-way connector),
can someone tell me that the red circled pipe and the existing water valve is actually one piece ? and i need to take off the clamp and replace the whole
existing water valve to make the whole thing work?

Thanks!

That particular angle stop does not allow a new connection.
What a particularly awful PEX stub out you have there.
You should call a licensed plumber.
Most all bidet seats use Cold supply, because of obvious reasons.

I believe your tee fitting is supposed to be installed onto the faucet. The end of the line you removed, shown in picture #2, should then be able to attach to the other end of the tee.

I think you have the right parts, just trying to install them in the wrong place.

Don't worry, when we get something in our heads, it is sometimes hard to step away and look at the big picture.

The tee fitting in pic #3 threads onto the 7/8" ballcock fitting on the bottom of the toilet tank, not the faucet. The supply line in pic #2 connects to the bottom of the tee. His hot side angle stop needs to be replaced with a dual 3/8" compression outlet stop.

All the bidet seats I've done, they all have a 7/8" tee to go just below the ballcock. So, this is screwy to begin with.
It is hard to tell sizes in photos, but his tee looks like 3/8" like the add-a-tee we see often.
I still will emphasize to the o.p. we NEVER EVER user hot water for bidet seats because you'd burn your ass, as everyone wants 120 deg. F set min. at the WH.

Thank you very much. The bidet actually has both and cold and hot water pipes so i guess it will be a mixture of two in the end.
After reading the replies, I think i need to get a PEX compatible 3/8" angle stop valve.
