How is a bidet anchored to the floor? I am subbing on a remodel and we are installing a bidet. I believe I need to stub up 1-1/2" pipe for the drain, but if there is no flange, what holds the bidet to the floor?
Peace out,

I don't know what brand of bidet you have, but most are srewed to the floor.
The trap can come from the wall or from the floor.
If you use a 1.5" trap, you may need the 1.5"x1.25" reducer. I believe most of the bidets use a 1.25" tailpiece.

Terry,
it's a Kohler. The faucets are mounted on it. How do you make the connection between the water risers and the faucets? This a tile floor over OSB subfloor. What do I do? Drill thru the tile, then use tapcons or wood screws to anchor to the OSB?
Peace out,

I would put the water supplies through the wall if possible.
They should hook up like any standard lav faucet even down to the tailpiece.
There should be lag bolts that come with it . Set the fixture in place,mark the holes, then you should be able to drill the tile out and lag into the subfloor.
A lot like a pedistal sink,,,only easier !!
