Genuine Part Gp1059291 Canister Seal

Great price at about $6 for an original kohler seal for the toilet tank canister. Watch some YouTube videos on how easy to replace and install new seals- job done in less than 10 mins and save yourself time calling for plumber and get a plumbers bill.

Order a couple. Price is right.

Genuine Kohler replacement. Replaced the original orange seal that had succumbed to the hard water. Other manufacturers in the past have changes colors when they start using a new material that theyve found to last longer. I havent been able to find information from Kohler to back that up in this case but we did get several years out of the original one. Replacing the old one with this one took my wife less than 5 minutes. She had originally called a plumber who quoted $85 for the visit, plus materials. I sent her a link to a video showing how to replace it and placed the order the same day. The part arrived a day later and she had it done within minutes. The kohler site explains how to identify the correct part for your toilet. If you can do that, then you can do the repair yourself. Nothing against plumbers, there are times when you need their knowledge and skills. This just isnt one of those times.

It was the perfect size to seal inside the toilet tank. It was the size recommended by the toilet manufacturer. I have no idea how it was installed or what was done. It was installed very quickly and the toilet stopped constantly running.

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.

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.

Works like a charm!

Liked everything. A toilet in my bathroom.

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!

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.
