Use this to maintain your low flush toilet
I had a leaking flush flapper valve in one of our fancy Kohler toilets and when I went to replace it, I found it had a float attached to the lift chain. I only had a Fluidmaster adjustable flapper on hand, so I used it and the toilet seems to be functioning OK. I ordered this exact replacement Kohler flapper valve with float just in case a problem arises. I tried to find the function of the float on-line and not one of the normal AI sights could give me any information. I inspected the old flapper and noticed that there is a vent hole in the float pocket on the valve which keeps it from retaining air which would allow it to float until the water level drops below the flapper causing it to close under its own weight. The only reason I can see is that this combination would allow you to “short flush” and use less water by controlling the position of the float on the chain. I have come to the conclusion that Kohler must have come up with this to allow some of their existing products to meet new government water use regulations. If you have a Kohler toilet that uses this Kohler flapper valve with float and want to continue to save some water, then make sure that you adjust the float on this new unit to be the same as on the unit you are replacing. If you live in an area where abundant water is not a problem or you are not ecologically inclined, then a normal flapper valve should be OK.

works great
The price for this was great compared to paying a plumber their minimum charge of $225. Just find the model of your toilet and find the right flapper for it. You do the math and figure 10-15 minutes. You can learn real fast how to replace one of theses all by yourself in just a few minutes. Turn of the water, remove the old one, clean the area up a bit install new one, test adjust the float if necessary. Stops the non stop leak or random refill when toilet is not in use.

Not for Kohler one-piece toilets
Product is probably fine for many toilets but not for mine - a Kohler Rosario model which is a one-piece toilet. Legs are not long enough to accommodate the square valve piece in the photo. Original flapper has longer legs. Had to search Kohler site for OEM part number. Found the right one - I hope - on Amazon. We'll see...

Know the Brand and Model Number of your toilet!
This was the same Kohler flapper valve that came in the toilet! The old one had turned a lighter color, was very stiff and was a little smaller in diameter, probably due to the chorine in our city water.

If you have a Kohler, buy Kohler parts - period.
I know nothing about plumbing. But I didn't want to pay a few hundred dollars to a plumber to do this job. So I watched some youtube videos to find out what my problem was and how to fix it. I took my flapper and float to Ace and got a "Universal" Korkey. Well, long story short, it did not work at all. Leak still there.I determined the exact model number of my toilet by looking under the lid as per a wonderful review on here. I put that in the search engine and came up with a great PDF that gave all the part numbers for all Kohler toilets. This was the exact part I needed. So, I ordered it with confidence.When it came, I took a scratch free Scotch Brite pad and cleaned out the hole where the water enters. Stuff builds up in there. Then I easily replaced the flapper. The chain in nice and long but you'll likely have to use more or less or it. I had to use less and adjusted it. You want about a half inch play in the chain. No more and no less. This all should be done with the water drained and off.Well, the leak is now history and I think I'll probably save ten or fifteen bucks a month off my water bill because using this flapper the tank uses less water and fills faster. The last plumber to work on the toilet used an after market brand, no Kohler. As a result, it used a lot of water and didn't last long. Probably thought he'd get another service call off me.So the bottom line is this: If you own a Kohler, do not use a universal flapper. Get a Kohler flapper and get the one with the float if that's the type yours uses. A new float should be installed at the same time as the flapper. They go bad too.This is a very easy task. If I can do it, a child can do it. You don't need a plumber for this little job. And always use Kohler parts if at all possible.-- Susanna K. Hutcheson

Buy several, you will need these
Great part for a DIY running toilet noise fix. You will need several of these in reserve depending on the number of toilets in your house / apartment. Easy peasy to change out and lasts for up to a year, give or take. Buy and keep on hand to avoid the HIGH cost of a plumber service call.
