Genuine Part Gp1059291 Canister Seal

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!

original equipment works ok

Had I known how ridiculously easy this was to fix, I would have done it months ago. The hardest part was probably putting the canister back in the cradle once the seal was replaced. The whole process will take about 3 minutes, maybe 4 if you struggle a bit like I did trying to get the canister to line up so it will fit back in the slot The seal is a perfect fit. The genuine replacement Kohler seal is a bit pricey for what it is, just a simple rubberized ring, but Im guessing what youre paying for is the composition of the rubber which will resist corrosion and disintegration and likely outlast the cheap no-name brand knockoffs. The initial seal lasted 6 yrs. Im guessing this will also last that long.

We have a Kohler Cimarron toilet that has the Red valve seal. This was a perfect fit replacement. Reason we got it was because after 2 years the toilet became very difficult to flush; you really had to put a lot of pressure on the flush handle - it was like it was stuck. Replacing this made all the difference - its back to new. A little tip here, the package comes with instructions on the back so when you come to the part where it shows to rotate the center disc portion of the canister mechanism counter clockwise to loosen, well when I did that it sounded like the plastic was going to snap at the shaft. So heres what you do, just lift the actual canister up enough to reach down below it and grab the center shaft at the base where it connects to the toilet tank. It will feel like a + sign in your hand - take that and turn it counter clockwise to loosen it, and then do the same (clockwise) to tighten it. Its a much sturdier way to take the canister mechanism off and on without feeling like youre going to snap the center shaft off.

Very easy to install, no leaks!

This seal works well, easy installation,took me less than 20 minutes to replace. Saved a bundle repairing myself (no that handy) thought I would need a plumber.

On time good product

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.

The toilet valve was going on for about 30 seconds every half hour all day and night. I’d get up an hear the toilet running, then it would stop. Read about replacing this seal, a 10 minute job, and now the toilet works like it should. I noticed that the old seal had developed a small bubble which allowed a tiny amount of water to leak, eventually triggering the valve to fill the tank. This seal fixed the problem...no plumber needed!

In terms of the water cost and noisy aggravation of a constantly running toilet (mine is in my bedroom), This couldn’t be an easier or cheaper repair to make. If it even took me five minutes to pop off the float and slip this gasket ring into the idiot proof groove I’d be shocked. In fact I took the opportunity to scrub and disinfect everything once it was all apart. I love the fit and quality of this product and you can tell it’s better than the original gasket, which I suspect of most original equipment, is thinner, cheaper and chintzier. For under 7.00 Yankee dollars the piece of mind and peace and quiet is well worth the price. I’m gonna buy an extra one or two as I use bleach tabs in my tank that put inordinate wear and tear on gaskets.
