Can You Install a Bidet on Any Toilet? Your Complete Installation Guide
Installing a bidet toilet seat is one of the most transformative bathroom upgrades you can make. As bidet popularity continues to grow in the US, many homeowners wonder if their existing toilet is compatible with a bidet attachment.Â
The good news is that Coway’s Bidetmegas are designed to work with virtually every major toilet brand and come in two sizes (elongated and round) to ensure a good fit.
Â
Universal Compatibility of Coway Bidetmega
Coway Bidetmega bidets (both the 400S and 500S models) are engineered with compatibility in mind. They fit most standard two-piece toilets with either elongated or round bowls. This universal design approach ensures that most homeowners can upgrade their bathroom experience without needing to replace their existing toilet.
Â
Four Key Measurements to Ensure a Perfect Fit
Before purchasing your Bidetmega, take these four essential measurements to guarantee compatibility.
Â
1. Mounting Hole Distance
The distance between the mounting holes on your toilet should be between 5.23 and 7.9 inches. This standard measurement accommodates the vast majority of residential toilets.
2. Proper Tank Clearance
Your toilet should have between 1.69 and 2.95 inches of clearance between the mounting holes and the toilet tank. This space ensures the bidet can be properly installed without interference from the tank.
3. Bowl Length
This measurement determines whether you need an elongated or round Bidetmega model:
- Elongated toilets: 17.98 to 19.24 inches from mounting holes to the front of the bowl
- Round toilets: 16.59 to 17.85 inches from mounting holes to the front of the bowl
Â
4. Power Outlet Proximity
The Bidetmega features a convenient 2-way power cord that extends 47 inches, allowing connection to outlets on either side of your toilet. Unlike typical bidets with restrictive one-way cords, this gives you more flexibility during installation. However, you'll need to ensure you have a grounded outlet within reach of this cord.

Toilet Types and Compatibility
Compatible Toilet Types
- Two-piece toilets: These standard toilets with separate tank and bowl components are ideal for Bidetmega installation.
- Most one-piece toilets: Many one-piece designs work well with Bidetmega seats.
- Flat-surface toilets: Your toilet bowl rim should be flat for proper mounting.
Â
Potentially Incompatible Toilet Types
- French curve toilets: These have a non-standard curved design that may not accommodate the bidet attachment.
- Wall-mounted toilets: Some wall-mounted models may require special adapters (check manufacturer specifications).
- Toilets with integrated bidets: These already have built-in bidet functionality.
- Non-standard designs: Unusual shapes or custom toilets may not fit standard measurements.

3Aerosol test conducted in a Biosafety level 3 laboratory with two Coway air purifier models, Coway Airmega 250 and 400 for removal of SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol by US based MRI Global, a not-for-profit laboratory and partner of US Department of Defense. The test was conducted in a 13.1ft3 chamber. Virus was aerosolized for 15 minutes and the product was turned on high for 2 minutes. Result showed each product effectively removed over 99.98% of the SARS-CoV-2 in 2 minutes. This is a result from a laboratory experiment condition and result may vary in different conditions. This result does not imply it kills SARS-CoV-2 or prevents the transmission of Covid-19. Coway Airmega 250S and 400S are identical to the tested models and has equal performance with an additional mobile connectivity function.

It is not a demonstration result in the actual use space. Not all odors and gases may be supported. → Tested with Coway Airmega 150, 160, Airmega Mighty AP-1512HH, Airmega Mighty AP-1512HHS, 400, 400S
5The coverage area of the air purifier is based on an area where the air cleaner can make two air changes per hour (ACPH). An air change per hour translates to how many times an air purifier can clean an area, assuming the height of a ceiling to be 8 ft, in one hour. Therefore ** means two air changes per hour means that the cleaner can clean the area once every 30 minutes and * means air changes per hour means that the air purifier can clean the area once every 60 minutes.
