Genuine Part Gp1059291 Canister Seal

Very easy to install. Fixed the problem of my toilet running.

Ive had a slow leak that kept waking me up in the middle of the night. Went to two local home improvement stores, you know which ones they are, and seriously couldnt believe you could buy Kohler toilets but not the replacement pieces. I still think thats crazy. So anyways, reading some of the reviews about this yellow ring decided to give it a try. THe guy that said twist this thingy... that is my speed. Im rather seriously home improvement challenged. I even have peach colored tools. I did it in less than a minute. I did have to lift up the thicker black cylinder and twist the middle piece from the bottom (mid point) since it sounded like it was going to break when I turned it counter clockwise. The hardest part was putting the chain back on. Wala. Done!!

My Kohler Cimmeron developed Phantom Flushing after a few years. Replacing this part fixed the problem. There were instruction on how to install on the back of the package, however I needed to watch a handy YouTube to complete the job. It was very easy and Im not at all handy.

Works like a charm!

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.

Shortly after I moved into my house two years ago, my fancy Kohler, low flow elongated bowl, blah, blah blah toilet began running frequently enough that It would wake me up at night. I went to my local big box store, asked the guy in the plumbing section, and he pointed me to the one and only generic brand seal that claimed it would work on said fancy toilet. Even after replacing the seal with the generic one I could hear water trickling every now and again. Not too many month went by until the seal felt like chewed gum sitting in water. Gross. My solution for the longest time has been to simply cut the water off on the toilet. This is not very practical for visitors, however. A friend insisted I buy another seal, but this time, he instructed me not to buy a crappy one. Amazon, of course, came through for me. I ordered this OEM Kohler brand seal that I assumed would work with fancy toilet. I had it overnighted, got home at 10:21 this evening, and I had the seal replaced by 10:23 (minus a minute for petting the dogs). Yall, Im an accountant, not a plumber. Now, how did I get this seal on so quickly? Easy. I read the package. WHAT? Heres my process: Turn off the water (easy. It was off already). Pull that tube that send water into the tower thingy in the toilet. Unhook the chain thats connected to the tower thingy. Grasp the round disk attached to the innards of the tower things and give it a firm twist counter clockwise (turn it towards your left...) Lift up and flip the whole tower upside down. If youre me, the old seal is already off and floating in the back of the toilet, but if youre not me, take off the old seal. Unpackage the (yellow!!) seal, fit it into the groove on the bottom of the tower, admire how well this seal fits and doesnt flop off, and attempt to reseat the tower in the black ring in the bottom of the tank, but then realize its too dark because you still havent called an electrician to fix the bathroom lights yet, either. Retrieve cell phone, turn on flashlight! Align the tabs on the bottom of the center of the tower to the slots on the part thats still in the toilet tank (for me, it was easier to push the center piece out of the tower so I could see where it was going). When its seated, give it a good firm turn to the right (clockwise!). Reconnect the chain (did you put the tower in with the chain on the side closest to the handle?) and reconnect the water tube into the center of the tower thingy. Turn your water back on. Enjoy the golden silence of not having the water running. Ahhhhhh.

I was going to replace the entire float assembly because of a slow leak. But, I read some of the reviews on Amazon and figured Id just replace the O ring. I followed the instructions on the box and installed the new O ring in about 15 minutes. No more leak. Amazon is the best.

This product fixed my Kohler canister type toilet from leaking. The old seal was probably old when we moved into the coop in 2012. It started leaking only in the summers, then this year 2018, it was leaking all the time. I had gotten plumbers to come and look at both toilets that were leaking. They said they had to order parts, charged me $179 for nothing and they wouldnt come back. So I viewed the video on YouTube several times and got up the COURAGE to fix it myself (Im 72). It took about 2 hours start to finish partly because I had to remove and reinstall a wooden over toilet cabinet. So after an hour it was done and works 100% better than before. Oh, I fixed the other American Standard toilet flapper as well.

After disconnecting the water line in tank, I had a little trouble twisting the yellow cap off -- was afraid it would break b4 it turned. But the gasket fit in the groove perfectly. But the tank still leaks -- green food coloring doesnt lie. DK if its another tank part or the valve at the wall. So, will call in a plumber after all. At least I know what the problem isnt.
