Genuine Part Gp1059291 Canister Seal

I ordered one of these gaskets along with a whole new flush assembly. On a whim, I tried the gasket alone before replacing the whole assembly, and it was less than five minutes start to finish. Great tutorial videos on YouTube. Great update to a bad factory gasket.

Our home was built in 2013 and the builder put in Kohler products throughout the house. Fast forward to 2021 and some toilet flush mechanisms were getting harder to flush and it turns out that these gaskets need to be replaced to maintain a tight and smooth seal between the tank drain and filll cylinder, especially if you have hard water or big changes in temperature. In our case, the hard water basically dissolved the original gaskets and it was sticking to the tank drain hole when flushing. The new one is super easy to install taking only 2 to 4 minutes. After the install, the flush mechanism is super smooth and water seal is tight. Stick with original Kohler parts for exact measure and perfect fit.

Easy to install.

This was a perfect replacement. Don’t gamble and buy one of the off-brand replacements. Save your time and money and buy OEM.

it fits

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.

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.

Liked everything. A toilet in my bathroom.

Fit like a charm

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.
