Poor mans bidet in a million plus house......

[Brandon Whitmore]

This one gave me a chuckle today. I'm not sure if it was intended as a bidet, or if someone used it to shower while sitting on the throne

Most likely to wash out a bedpan or something similar..

Bidet, I see it quite frequently in certain ethnic/religious instances.

Obviously they need to go, no backflow prevention and usually uses a self-piercing valve.

no backflow prevention

That's the technical reason I told them it had to go. I have a feeling it will make a mess as well.

The agent told me that this is quite common in some countries.

usually uses a self-piercing valve.

That's what I expected to see, but they actually used a compression T.

BTW, I inspected a place recently that had solid-alabaster toilets in it.. carved...

not kidding...alabaster sinks as well.. fixtures were brass but gold-plated... Gaudiest things I've ever seen in my life..

I'd go with Scott's explanation, not poor man's bidet. Water's too cold for that.

At least, that's what the seller told me when I found one like that.

common in turkey on pit toilets to have a water tap near the throne, probably to clean your hand. ugh.

That'd be the left hand. It's that way throughout the middle east. That's why it's an insult there to touch someone with your left hand. You also don't want to walk into a public crapper over there without bringing a roll of T.P. with you or you might find yourself learning the local custom the hard way.

looks good- I wonder if the soap / chemicals for hand washing affects the flush mechanism much, some do.

- Off topic, but travelling in the "middle east" many even public places like museums, dont have t p so carry your own

Japan has been doing the handwashing above the tank trick for decades. Not much room for those of us with big hands, and the newest low flow toilets don't provide a lot of water so wash quick!

I like to use hot water.

So? Plumb your toilet with hot water!
