Genuine Part Gp1059291 Canister Seal

This seal took five minutes to install, and it fixed my constantly running toilette problem. A new Kohler fixture that in less than a year developed the running water problem. Now its one of the new efficiency models, so I could not run out and drop a conventional Fluidmaster replacement in. I asked my plumber( as he was replacing the old cast iron under my kitchen sink) about it; sounds like a bad seal to me his reply. I matched that with the diagram on the web and concluded it was worth a shot. But, Im not going to run all over town looking for a seal that only fits a specific make and model. Amazon has never let me down,so type the part number from the Kohler manual in the search box and bam; six bucks at my door in two days (Prime Member). Next one click. Installed it in five minutes and my water headache was gone. For the dollars involved one of the best purchases I have ever made. My praise is not for Kohler but for Amazon in saving me gas,time and the fear of having to pay a plumber for something that in the older models was a easy fix.

ALL GOOD

The hardest part of this was figuring out which one to order. Once I figured that out & this arrived it took me less than 10 minutes to remove the worn out seal, replace it with this & have the water to the toilet back on & flushing. Wooohooo. I was cursing Kohler when trying to identify which seal needed to buy - now that I know that & how well designed the system is for easy seal replacements I am back in love with Kohler products.

Worked great, simple install. Do take the time to clean off any bits of the old gasket that remain stuck to either surface. The toilet doesnt wake me up at night or keep me from falling asleep anymore. When doing this fix you can also adjust the length of the chain to the handle if you dont like how it feels.

Not as easy to replace as a standard flapper, but easy enough. Genuine part works exactly like the original and fit perfect. I appreciate that they did not gouge the price too much, although Im sure the production price is like 10 cents. Appreciate the next day shipping when the toilet is not working, needless to say.

My old Kohler gaskets were about 7 years old and had become sticky, presumably due to the chemical attack of chlorinated water. They would occasionally stick to the valve seat and get pulled out of the retaining groove causing the toilet to continuously drain and fill until noticed and reseated. I was going to replace the entire canister flush valve but decided to give this a try first. The valve now works like new, even less resistance when flushing due to no gasket sticking. I bought 4 more and replaced every gasket in my house. Well worth the money and takes less than a minute to replace.

It was the perfect size to seal inside the toilet tank. It was the size recommended by the toilet manufacturer. I have no idea how it was installed or what was done. It was installed very quickly and the toilet stopped constantly running.

Works perfectly and looks great !

Very easy to install. Fixed the problem of my toilet running.

This was a perfect replacement. Don’t gamble and buy one of the off-brand replacements. Save your time and money and buy OEM.
