Genuine Part Gp1059291 Canister Seal

I wanted to have an extra gasket for my toilet.

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!

Replaced the red one with this yellow one because the wife uses clorox tabs in the toilet tank. The red ones disintegrate and then leak. Yellow ones dont according to research. So far, so good at 5 months.

After nine years, the original canister seal disintegrated causing the toilet to continue running. It was difficult to remove the canister top (plastic, didnt want to snap/break it), but once that was done the old seal took some work to remove but this seal went on like a charm. Hoping to get another 9 years out of it.

This was a necessary repair part to fix a toilet that kept randomly running. It was easy enough to pull the canister out of the tank and replace the seal. The old seal all but fell off on its own. There are some good videos on YT that show exactly how to replace it.

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.

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!

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!

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

My toilet was constantly making that refill noise. And yes the issue was the worn out ring causing leaks. Instead of changing out the whole flushing kit, I first decided to give this a try. And glad I did! Cheaper and easier to install quickly. And the problem solved!
