KOHLER 1117210 Flush Valve Kit 1.28 - Replacement & Rebuild for KOHLER Toilet Tanks

Overview

The KOHLER 1117210 Flush Valve Kit (1.28) is designed to restore reliable flushing in KOHLER toilet tanks. It offers two practical paths: a complete rebuild of the valve or a direct replacement of worn components. This makes it a flexible option when the flush valve shows signs of aging or damage without requiring a full tank change.

As a genuine KOHLER part, the kit is intended to fit compatible KOHLER toilets and to integrate smoothly with existing tank configurations. The 1.28 specification provides a specific sizing that can help align with your original valve geometry, supporting a familiar feel and operation for everyday use.

Why this kit may matter to you

In real-world settings, a valve that is past its prime can lead to irregular or sluggish flushes, occasional leaks around the valve seal, or unpredictable water flow. This kit presents two pathways to address those concerns: rebuild the valve to refresh its moving parts, or replace the valve assembly to reestablish a familiar flush cadence. The result is a practical maintenance option that focuses on preserving the tank’s function rather than pursuing a full unit replacement.

What you get

• Complete rebuild or direct replacement capability for KOHLER flush valves
• Genuine KOHLER part designed to integrate with compatible tanks
• 1.28 valve configuration to match your original setup

Usage and expectations

This kit is meant for users who want a flexible maintenance path. Depending on the condition of the existing valve, you can choose to rebuild to refresh seals and moving parts, or install a direct replacement to reestablish a dependable flush. Real-world results can vary with tank age and overall wear, but many find a smoother, more predictable flush after completing the restoration steps.

Practical tips

• Ensure water is turned off and the tank is drained before starting.
• Inspect surrounding seals and gaskets for wear and replace as needed.
