Genuine Part Gp1059291 Canister Seal

We had a bathroom renovation two years ago and the new toilet had a canister flush valve. I heard the sign of a flapper valve leak, spontaneously refilling, and discovered the canister in its place. I watched a clip on YouTube that explained simple maintenance of the canister. I ordered this part and when it arrived it took just a few minutes to replace the o-ring. When I turned the water on, the spontaneous leak was gone.

This was a genuine Kohler replacement part that I received (packaged in Kohler packaging). I am not a handy person AT ALL and even I was able to get this new seal installed on my Kohler toilet to prevent it from running. Kohler has some how to videos and manuals online. the estimated time to switch said 5 minutes, so i anticipated it taking 20 (thats how bad I am), but instead, I did it in less than 5. Glad I tried this myself and didnt call a plumber, I would have felt foolish.

ALL GOOD

Do it yourself and save a ton of money. It fixed the leak in minutes.

My toilet was leaking and when I opened the top to change the flapper (as I usually do on my other toilets) I realized that this toilet was different. I, of course started looking for options of changing the innards and ordered the complete cannister from Amazon (of course) I had it the next day and it looked just the one inside my toilet. But while looking up videos on how to change it I stumbled on a video of how to change the seal. The seal was only a third the cost of the cannister, so I ordered it, and it arrived quickly. I changed this out in about 5 minutes and it works perfectly. Not sure how long it will last, but for now its perfect!

Easy to install! Solved our issue with toilet refilling ALL the time! The old one was definitely worn and had bubbles. Lots of youtube tutorials on how to change this out. If your kohler toilet is running refilling a lot give this a shot before replacing!

First, I bought a cheap 3rd-party seal that was supposed to be compatible, but it leaked because the diameter was actually wrong. Then I bought this official Kohler seal, and it works great.

Had a Kohler toilet that was getting increasingly hard to flush. It was obvious the flapper was sticking somehow, but when I opened the tank I was baffled by the weird design. I went to YouTube and found a video that showed how to twist the center stalk of the “flapper” and remove the long tube. Sure enough the old red seal valve/ring was falling apart and gummy like an old rubber band. Had to run a pocket knife around both sides to remove the crusty bits and then the new yellow gasket just gets stretched on. 2 minutes on YouTube, 5 mins removing the old gasket, and 30 seconds to install the new one.

Works like a charm!

Very easy to install, no leaks!
