Genuine Part Gp1059291 Canister Seal

I put off changing the gasket for awhile and I wish I hadn’t. It couldn’t have been easier. I watched a short video on how to remove the canister and it came right out. The whole process took less than 5 minutes

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.

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

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.

Our home was built in 2013 and the builder put in Kohler products throughout the house. Fast forward to 2021 and some toilet flush mechanisms were getting harder to flush and it turns out that these gaskets need to be replaced to maintain a tight and smooth seal between the tank drain and filll cylinder, especially if you have hard water or big changes in temperature. In our case, the hard water basically dissolved the original gaskets and it was sticking to the tank drain hole when flushing. The new one is super easy to install taking only 2 to 4 minutes. After the install, the flush mechanism is super smooth and water seal is tight. Stick with original Kohler parts for exact measure and perfect fit.

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.

Fit like a charm

This part was just what I needed to fix a toilet tanks that was not filling up when flushed. I replaced the old red rubber seal with this one and it worked like a charm.

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!

My Kohler Cimmeron developed Phantom Flushing after a few years. Replacing this part fixed the problem. There were instruction on how to install on the back of the package, however I needed to watch a handy YouTube to complete the job. It was very easy and Im not at all handy.
