GENUINE PART K-GP84995 FLAPPER Toilet Flapper, Hinge, 2" hinge flapper used in various one-piece toilets

The flap will work perfectly once you run your finger around the flush valve rim that it sits on. I had not done this and the newly installed fill valve was refilling intermittently which meant water was leaking through the flap.I watched the Kholer video about how to install the flap, looked inside the toilet, felt around the rim under the flap and sure enough, there was irregularly… maybe lime scale, debris. I just gently rubbed the rim with the tip of my rubber glove until it felt smooth… no sanding/abrasion. Problem fixed!!!! No more intermittent refilling! Also, as described in the video, I made sure the chain was taut by attaching the hook two links in. Did the trick!

OEM part. Instructions could have been a little clearer to note to slide out and back in the stick section. Also, the instruction said to use no more than 3 links, for my toilet, I needed to install at the 5th link. Happy with the quality of the replacement and figured out install so will give high marks for product

I have two Kohler toilets and tried after market flappers before. None of them worked satisfactory.This is the OEM item that fits the toilet and stops the leak.However, I do not understand why the diameter of the flapper cannot be 1/8" larger. The new flapper works for some time, like a year or two, but then it literally shrinks the difference between a brand new item and the one I have replaced is between 1/16" to 1/8". This seemingly small difference makes flapper to leak as it does not fits the opening. The flapper does not perfectly align with the hole as there is some amount of play in the hinge. The brand new item has enough tolerance to cover the hole regardless of misalignment. The old shrunk item no longer fits on the top of the hole without small cracks between the edge of the flapper and the hole, thus it starts leaking.At first the leak may be intermittent and re-flashing makes it stop, but in-time the leak becomes permanent and requires flapper replacement.This is frustrating as the rubber of the flapper is not in any way deteriorated. it is still soft and pliable.Kohlers are the only toilets in my house where I have replaced flappers many times, at least every other year. I am completely at loss why this is such a problem, as I have mentioned above, making the part 1/8" large will probably solve this defect.

These don't have that drip-drip-drip leak issue of generics. Not sure why you'd buy a generic when this isn't THAT much more money. A+ product.

It's Kholer what could be the problem, the one replaced lasted about eight years. Easy to install and trust it to do it's job year after year.

If you want the best results you have to OEM. Is there a difference between Kohler and a cheap knockoff? In this case yes! Tried a really cheap knockoff and it leaked. Replaced with the OEM part and the performance is unmistakable. The Kohler San Rafael toilet is a unique and complex toilet and needs the manufacturer's original parts to function properly but then again I'm not a plumber.

I replaced the flapper on my Kohler by going to Home Depot and buying a generic flapper because the salesperson said it was identical to the Kohler replacement which they didn't have in stock. I replaced the flapper and 3 months later - because the unit was empty - I had no idea it was still running. It turns out - the generic flapper kept getting stuck and allowing the water to run. This was a very costly mistake. I ordered the OEM on Amazon - replaced it in minutes and now all is good! NEVER will I purchased generic parts again! - a $7 repair costs me HUNDREDS of dollars in wasted water!
