Genuine Part Gp1059291 Canister Seal

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.

I’ve only had this installed for a week & it’s working great! I am pretty optimistic that it will do better than the last kohler canister seal ring that came with the toilet originally. The toilet wasn’t even 4 years old & the ring (as shown in the pictures/red ring) was shot. So much so that the toilet wasn’t sealing so the toilet ran all night. This does replace the red seals. It seems better quality than the red ones too. I forgot to get a picture of the new yellow seal but it’s smooth & it is like others have said a little over 3 inches diameter (about 3 & a half inches diameter.) We have a class 5 & class 6 Kohler toilets( class 5 shown in pictures) & this Seal fits both (canister type flushers.) Super easy to install. Kohler has an instruction video on YouTube & I believe on Amazon, that helps guide you to replace the seal. I also bought the genuine Kohler toilet chain on Amazon(sold & shipped by Amazon) fantastic price & products are genuine.

We have four of these toilets in the house as part of custom new construction as recommended by the install plumber, it is just a matter of time before the seal is compromised. It is a five minute fix to replace a seal once you have done one and are now over the fear of breaking something when twisting the vertical pipe a bit. See a whole slew of you tube videos on how to replace this seal, search leaking Kohler toilet. Please stay away from non-genuine Kohler replacements. If you have several of this type of toilets, consider just getting a spare and have it on hand for the next time. The three I have replaced, one lasted over four years, another between four and five years, and the other almost five years.

Easy to install

My in-suite toilet would every so often sound like it a was automatically flushing itself all through the freakin’ night! It kept me awake! I thought it was the flush mechanism so I changed that! Then I observed that it was this O- ring that needed to be replaced! This item is the original Kohler replacement. Don’t buy the fake ones, you’ll just waste your money. These aren’t so expensive anyways. Save yourself the headache and get this original replacement! Getting my well deserved zzzzs!!!

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.

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

Had a Kohler toilet that had a leak due to bad o ring. I looked up the part and this was it. I installed it in about 1 min. Problem solved. Very satisfied.

On time good product

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.
