Genuine Part Gp1059291 Canister Seal

Exactly what I needed and cheaper than at the hardware store

This is a Kohler replacement part. It is very good quality and expect it to last years under my water conditions. It takes about 5 minutes to replace - the canister must be removed so that the seal can be easily accessed. Use care when removing the upper yellow or black plastic disk where the water line attaches. I cracked it on another toilet.

Easier to install than the whole can assembly. If all of your plastics are still in good shape, but the flusher sticks or the water is always running, the this is the easiest fix.

For me, getting the chain off of the cylinder took a while. Gasket works. I took a leap of faith that this part would fit my Kohler toilet. Whew, it did.

I have a couple Kohler Cimarron and one Kohler Wellworth toilets that use these seals. On the Kohler site, theyre shown as yellow, but this image shows a red seal (like the original). The seals I received were yellow, which allows the user to more easily see that theyre installed evenly and correctly. Ill post a picture of the actual seal later. [...] The instructions on the back of the packaging were super-easy to follow. Its a simple matter of a quarter-turn to unlock the cylinder, then lifting out the cylinder and replacing the seal at the bottom. The seal went on easily and my toilet was fixed in about a minute or two. Nobody should feel intimidated by this process! Anybody can do it. The only issue I had was that the plastic piece that locks the cylinder down seemed to be stuck a bit, so I was afraid I would break it, but it broke loose and came off easily after that. It was a simple quarter-turn to remove it. I bought a couple of these. Shipping was covered by Amazon Prime, whereas on the Kohler site there was a shipping charge. Excellent product with simple instructions on the back. Highly recommended! I now really like this better than the old style flapper seal. Dont pay anybody to do this for you! You can do it!

Easy to install

One of my Kohler toilets had developed a slow leak and every 1/2 hour the water level would lower enough for the toilet to kick-in and refill the water a bit. After a bit of research, found that this gasket/seal could be the cause of the slow leak. Instillation was pretty straight forward. Turned off the water valve below the toilet, and held down the flush valve to drain as much of the water. Then followed the directions, and I had the replacement installed in only about 10 minutes. Ive fairly handy around the house, but this is certainly something anyone can do. When I opened the water valve and the toilet filled up, the seal did its job, and have had no further leaks since I replaced it two months ago. Price was cheap enough, so ordered a few since I have three toilets in the house, and figure if one failed, better to have a couple spares!

Works like a charm!

This little gasked is a $7 miracle. My toilet started running and after a few weeks, no matter how much handle jiggling I did, it was clear that I needed to make a repair. The water was running as often as not. Looking into the tank I saw the old pink gasket and MAN was it in bad shape. Probably the chemicals in the water did it in, as its a relatively new toilet. This new gasket arrived and I was able to get the old one off/put the new one on in less than 5 minutes. The hardest part was disconnecting the chain (what a pain!!). Once I got past that step, the rest was simple. I do highly recommend that if your old gasket was in rough shape, that you take a moment before putting the new one on to scrub away any residue that might be left over. There was quite a bit on mine, but nothing a scrubber sponge didnt quickly handle. Happy Flushing!
