Kohler 43131-CP Tank Lever Polished Chrome

Product Description

The KOHLER 43131-CP is a tank lever designed as a replacement flush handle for compatible KOHLER toilet tanks. The lever operates the flush mechanism by connecting to the flapper or trip lever chain inside the tank, initiating the flush cycle when actuated. Finished in polished chrome, it provides a corrosion-resistant surface suited to wet environments. Plumbers and experienced DIYers install this part during routine toilet repair or handle replacement service. At 0.606 pounds, it is a lightweight component that requires no special tools beyond basic hand tools for installation.

This tank lever is appropriate for residential bathroom toilet installations where the existing flush handle has failed, corroded, or broken. It is also used during toilet refurbishment projects where matching polished chrome hardware across fixtures is a priority. The part is suited to standard tank installations where the lever arm connects to the interior flush valve assembly through the tank wall fitting.

Key Features

• Polished chrome finish resists corrosion in high-humidity bathroom environments
• Lightweight construction at 0.606 pounds for easy single-technician installation
• Designed as an OEM-style replacement for compatible KOHLER toilet tanks
• Connects to standard interior flush valve trip lever or flapper chain

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tank lever for compatible KOHLER toilet tanks. Verify fitment against your specific KOHLER toilet model number before installation, as handle thread orientation and arm length can vary by tank design.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified DIYer. Shut off the water supply at the stop valve below the tank and flush to empty the tank before removing the existing lever. The tank lever typically threads through the tank wall with a reverse-thread locknut on the interior side — confirm thread direction before applying torque to avoid cracking the tank. Follow local plumbing code requirements, referenced under the IPC, for any toilet repair work requiring permit.
