Transcript:
Hi, i'm Dan Johnson, your bidet expert and owner of manybidets.com, where we've sold over 10,000 bidets, in the past eight years.
Today, we're going to talk about how to install the Swash 1400, by Brondell, on a standard toilet. It's important to note that almost all of our customers install these on their own. Without any help from a plumber, assuming they have electricity near the toilet (as these run on electricity). As long as you have that piece of the puzzle taken care of, you can do this on your own, nine times out of ten.
Let's go ahead and talk about parts that you need and tools that you need to do this installation. Almost everything that you need, comes with the unit. It is a good idea to have a crescent wrench on hand, to tighten your hose. It's good to have something to absorb the water when you disconnect the water supply, a towel, a sponge, something to absorb that water there won't be a lot of it, but it's good to have.
Let's go ahead and get started with the process. Obviously, we've removed the existing toilet seat and then we have to turn off the water supply. This is a quarter turn, you might have one that has a longer turn. If i unscrew this now, we're going to have water in the tank that's going to pour out. For starters, after the water supply is turned off, we'll want to drain the tank - hold down on the lever until you hear water is no longer flowing. That drains as much water out of the tank as possible. Now there's still, probably, going to be a little bit of water that's going to come out of this water supply. Have something readily available, to absorb that water, as you see we have done here. As you can see, because we drain the tank first, there's not that much water, but it's nice to have that there, so that we're not getting water on our bathroom floor.
The t-connector that comes with the Swash 1400, connects on the bottom side of the tank.
Also, you want to make sure that the rubber o-ring is in there, so that you're not getting leaking there. One of the common questions we get is, ” why did you send me the incorrect T?”. Nine times out of ten, the reason is because people are trying to connect it to the water inlet, instead of connecting it to the bottom side of the toilet tank. Make sure you're connecting it in the right place. Hand tight might do the trick, but i'm going to go ahead and give it a little bit of an additional twist here, just to tighten it a little bit more. You don't want to over tighten this, but i'm going to go ahead and make it a little bit on the snug side there. Once that's been done, we can reconnect this water supply line to the bottom of the T. You can use a little bit of plumber's tape if you think necessary, but technically this is designed to be done without plumbers tape. If you use plumber's tape, use it very sparingly. I would recommend trying without plumbers tape for starters and if you need it use it. This hose, which comes with the Swash 1400, should also have the rubber on either side. The one end is going to connect here and the other end will connect to the bidet seat when we install it. Again, same principle, hand tight might be enough, definitely don't over tighten. I'm going to give it a little additional twist here, just to ensure tightness and snugness there.
Now we're going to install the mounting plate. This is a pretty standard mounting plate...

You have been extremely helpful. I just bought a Brondell 1400 from Amazon. I wish I had bought it from you as I have a feeling that you would be more help than customer service at Brondell should I ever have a problem. It seems as though all of the Bidet companies have trouble with their customer service, I’ve read a ton of reviews from a variety of the bidets online and it seems like everybody has a problem with customer service. I was given a biobidet by a family friend that moved onto a boat and couldn’t get the bidet to hook onto about toilet. I used it for nine months and then last week it just started gushing out of the main housing. I emailed the company but no response I bought another one on Amazon and it doesn’t work so I’m sending it back to Amazon anyway if I ever have a need to buy another Bidet, I will buy it from you. Thank you so much for the video.

Hi Dan, great video! I ordered from you and it will arrive anytime today. I bought and installed the Drive seat riser recommended by you and it should be compatible with the Swash 1400. I expect that the long bolts that came with the riser would be used and should work with this model without any extra parts then?

To remove the seat, press the Quick Release button and slide the seat forward off of the mounting plate and toilet. In the Manual on page 9 has the location of the release button on the bidet seat. It is also very common to turn your water supply valve off when leaving for extended periods of time.
Is this a round or elongated seat? Thanks for the video!
@ManyBidets

In the video, we are using a elongated version, however, the Swash 1400 offers both elongated and round versions of their white and biscuit seats.

The Swash 1400 is one of the most prone to leak. What's your order number with us? We can file a warranty claim with Brondell on your behalf.

I just installed a Brondell Swash 1700 which looks remarkably like yours in this video. I reached out to Brondell support and received nothing back. My problem is, the left two sear feet contact my toilet fine, but my right two feet don’t (gap about 1/8th inch)! I strongly suspect it involves the seat bracket? But not sure how to pull out the seat again from the bracket wher it clicked in, so I can look at the brackets again. Can u help me??

There is a release button you need to press as you pull out on the seat. See page 8 of the manual: www.brondell.com/content/Swash_CL1700_UM_WEB_091321.pdf
Everything time I snug the T-connector to the tank, it crossthreads and I get a leak when I turn the water on.

Does it fit any toilet?
@ManyBidets

Thanks for the question! It fits about 99% of the toilets out there, but there are a few here and there that the seat will not fit. If you know what toilet you have, or are looking to get, we can confirm if it will fit. You can either reply to this comment with that info, or email call or text us. Also keep in mind that if you reach out, we're happy to offer a discount when you're ready to purchase as well.

@@philschopshop4591 While we've not tested it, there's a possibility it would work with the RV kit we've thrown together. See this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hap2xcWIkdfVZ8o.html We really recommend pairing the 310 with an RV kit and the round Cascade 3000 for best fit.

Glad to hear it! We do find most of our customers install these very quickly and easily with minimal help. Next time you're in the market for one, let me know!
Easy to install, kzread.infoUgkxjA-hDN2m8_mi0Dg0JD8U6QiArozIAc4I and comfortable. No idea what other people were talking about when they said it was difficult to install or uncomfortable.
Seat, not sear
Brondell is an awful company to deal with.. I was sold a defective Swash 1700 and Brondell expected us to pay for the parts. Terrible to deal with.

I just got this bidet... look, im a 5'3 140lb girl and I thought the seat was too damn small. There is no way a grown, full man is using this thing. So disappointed...

The Swash 1400 is sadly know for it's small seat... If you purchased from us, please reach out regarding returning it for a full refund, and we'll hook you up. If you want a more comfortable, larger sittable space, and a sleeker look, I'd recommend taking a look at the Eco Nova bidet seat: www.manybidets.com/product/eco-nova-bidet-seat/
