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

This one works good is better quality than the original one that came with the bidet. The bidet connection was made out of plastic. This is metal works great.

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.

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,AndyCustomer 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.

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.

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.

I bought this on top of my Luxe Bidet as I read the complementary one is of poor quality. It seems like good quality, but you need your own spanner to install this, as the spanner that came with it doesn't fit this adopter. Also, it is odd that the shut-off valve is at the inner back of the unit once installed...it would have been great if they design it so it faces outwards, as it is super awkward to reach the shut off valve.

I thought these would be an upgrade to the plastic ones that came with the kit. They leak immensely. I bought two of them so it isn't isolated, it is bad design. You can only tighten them so much to the main plastic pipe coming out of the tank and it is not nearly enough. The original plastic one at least had a washer so I just put it back on and no leak whatsoever. What a waste of money and time.

Great! No leaks, sturdy all-metal design, exactly what I was looking for. Valve shutoff mechanism is smooth and easy to operate. Installed in a minute or two.
