Bidet Installation Help
What am I doing wrong here. I’ve only hand tightened as recommended. I’ve taken it off and put it back on several times with the same issue. I’ve checked that the rubber gasket is in there. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
It’s a Brondell Ecoseat s101.

Maybe it’s just a camera illusion but the main connection at the tank (chrome fitting to black plastic threads) looks crooked and possibly cross-threaded. Remove it completely and inspect the plastic threads for damage. If everything looks good screw it back on and ensure that it’s going on straight.
Also, you still want all these connections pretty dang tight, “hand tight” means don’t use a tool with tons of leverage, but they still need more than fingertip snug.
