Genuine Part Gp1059291 Canister Seal

The hardest part of making the replacement was figuring out how to. The gasket, however, leaks after just 12 1/2 months. The original gasket lasted 15 years. Same water. Same usage. Same brand of gasket.

Took 5 minutes from opening the packaging to being done. Videos on the listing are helpful to see how to remove the centerpiece. Otherwise, it is straightforward and simple to install this perfectly fitting gasket. Oh wait, cannister seal :) I had one leaky toilet so I just replaced both. Like headlights, when one goes out, the other is soon to follow. Same with teenagers.

original equipment works ok

ALL GOOD

In a time where the news can make us feel scared and confused, it’s good to know that there are gaskets like this that still exist in this world. When my wife first informed me that our toilet was running, I experienced a personal moment of pure elation. “Please let me have to replace the canister gasket” I silently muttered over and over to myself as I dipped my bare hands into the mechanical bowels of the place where one does such things. Upon dismantling of my toilet hardware and watching you tube videos over and over again in self imposed perpetual foreshadowing, it was finally time to crack open my most awaited package. After consuming what was in my most awaited package, now being fully nourished, I was ready to tackle the gasket. ITS GASKET TIME, BABY!!!! Let me say, first of all, that in my almost 40 years on this earth, never have I seen a gasket quite of this caliber. From its durable rubber feel, to its bright mustard hue, there was nothing about this gasket that wasn’t magnificent. As I reached in to remove the sad faded reddish pink gasket from the canister, I was struck by just how amazing the new gasket was. It was just so gasketty. I apologize in advacne for any typos but my eeys are blurred with the tears of memory... I trembled with anticipation as I attempted to un-disassemble my toilet tank in the reverse order from earlier. Now, let me assure you that NONE of the following is the fault of the “Golden Gasket”. In fact, when discussing the situation with my plumber afterwards, he reassured me that this gasket was indeed the finest he too had ever seen, was in perfect working order, and was in no way responsible for me snapping off an essential part of the inner toilet tank that prevented it from properly filling. It’s about 62/38 as to whether he meant what he said or was just agreeing with me because he thought I was a bit crazy, but that’s not important. The important thing is “GASKET”. Just that. I imagine that, by reading this review, you too are as fanatical about gaskets as I am. I mean, why else would you possibly be reading a review of a replacement product for a toilet tank? Exactly!! Gaskets. In conclusion, this yellow ring did its job and now I don’t have to hear anyone complain about the toilet running. Yay gaskets...

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

My toilet was draining and refilling constantly and I determined it was due to the canister seal. I considered getting a cheaper generic one but read mixed reviews, so I went with the name brand. I cant speak to the durability of this item but it was easy to install and the toilet issue has been resolved!

If you have a leaky/running off and on Kohler toilet, this part replaces the red ring that is on the bottom of the black tube in the toilet tank. The original red ring came apart easily over the years, and this replaces it. Check out the toilet lid underside for parts options, and if you cant determine it, call Kohler and ask what they recommend, with the part number required. To install this part: switch off water below tank, flush the toilet to drain the water in the tank, open the lid, remove black tube (squeeze widthwise), and scrape off red ring that has eroded. then replace it with this ring. replace lid, and turn on water, and flush! 5 minutes to replace, countless gallons of water saved

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.

Order a couple. Price is right.
