KOHLERGENUINE PART GP1229656 Canister Repair Kit, For single flush canister toilets, Includes cap, center guide and chain

I have a Kohler Tresham toile I installed a little over 10 years ago, and the canister valve at that tine was a female fitting (the fill line inserted into a hole in the top of the canister valve). Over time, this became worn and the line would no longer stay inserted in the canister. The main result of this is that the bowl would not refill to the proper level after flushing. This part instantly solved the problem in less than 10 minutes.The installation is very simple, there are no special tools or plumbing knowledge required, and there are a number of very good YouTube videos that can walk you through the process. After shutting off the water and draining the tank (a simple flush will do). turn the canister a quarter turn to remove it, remove the top from the center piece and remove that from the canister, insert the bottom of this repair piece up through the bottom of the canister, innsert the yellow top piece, and replace the canister in the reverse of how ou removed it (insert and turn one quarter turn). I would also recommend that you replace the seal around the bottom of the canister while you have it out. It's worth the $3 for the seal to save yourself another job in the future.

I thought I had to take the whole toilet apart and replace the entire flush valve unit. Thankfully I found out you can order this part separate and replace it. It seems it does break at the holding point on the end, which is a "T" type form. My plastic end of the tip broke off. This was a quick and easy replacement, as you just insert this into the opening and turn a bit clockwise to lock it in.The only headache I had was with the Kohler manufacturer. The writings are cryptic. I would recommend that once you find out what type and model of toilet you have, you should write everything down in the tank or somewhere in the bathroom. It's a pain to have to contact Kohler, get a model number and parts diagram. Thats the only stupid part of the replacement process.

This is a real kohler product. Came quickly and no issues. Cheaper than the local department store. Will reorder

works but dont last

Fits as described

This part fit perfectly in my toilet & I could install it easily (without help from my husband). It has since saved water & money just like I wanted.

I encountered a problem with the original yellow disk on this unit. The installer had altered it and it worked loose and shot off the filler tube with each flush. The replacement was perfect and very easy to change out. Because the parts are plastic and require some pressure to lock them into place, I was a little nervous about the installation. (I tend to use brute force.) If you experience trepidation, watch the YouTube installation video by the Ultimate DIYer. He's very patient and easy to understand.

Worked great! Just follow the instructions for taking the old unit apart and reusing the top part.Took me less than 10 minutes
