KOHLER1068622 Flush Valve Kit .3 oz

This was the exact fit for my Kohl’s toilet. A little pricey for a piece of plastic but it is designed for this model Kohler.Install was a little tricky so….Soak the foam ring in hot water for a little bit. I also recommend smearing a drop or two of dish detergent on the surface of the foam ring that is in contact with the flush valve so that you can more easily twist to engage the 3 prongs in the toilet. I removed the red flapper prior to install to make it easier. Make sure the prongs are lined up with the toilet tank opening. I did this by lining it up first without the foam ring (dry run). After you’ve done this and remembered the orientation of the unit, apply detergent and install foam on unit. I pushed down (near opening) with one hand while twisting the unit with the other hand. I confirmed the plastic prongs were engaged under the bottom of the tank. Again, be careful not to twist too hard or the plastic prongs can break off.

Good product but somewhat difficult install because the foam seal is somewhat rigid and and the plastic tabs on the side are delicate. I recommend that before install, that you soak the sponge seal first to make it more squishy and installable.

None of our suppliers had this in stock so it was very convenient to get it here.

flush valve repair. YouTube helped greatly with the installation.

The item is the correct part for my toilet. I read a number of reviews saying that it was difficult to install.First, try the valve in your toilet without the gasket on it. On my toilet the three tabs really did not fit through the triangular hole. Even when perfectly aligned the points of the tab scraped the sides of the hole and you had to work it it. When actually installing with the gasket and using force to compress the gasket it would be difficult to actually get the tabs exactly right. This is the cause of people breaking the tabs. Use a file to file the points of the tabs down until the valve fits your toilet hole easily.Secondly I read in the reviews hear that Kohler recommended soaking the gasket in hot water for 10 minutes. Do this off of the valve.Finally, rub a small amount of olive oil of the side of the gasket that mates with the valve. This will allow the valve to turn easily once the gasket contacts the rough surface of the floor of the toilet tank.These steps will make installation easy!

Customer pleased!

Right part for the job.

I agree with everything bad you have read about Kohler’s flange design .I tried the hot water- useless , finally had to use the freeze compression-on you tube- and file down the triangle plastic to get it to work .BTW I also vasolined the ceramic underside of the hole-it helped

Replacement part worked perfect and was easy to install.

the flush valve was an exact match .However, initially it did not fit into the tank called the Kohler company and they advised to soak the rubber in hot water for 10 mints.
