Lavelle Industries GP1078440 Toilet Flapper

Product Description

The LAVELLE INDUSTRIES GP1078440 is a toilet tank flapper designed as a replacement for Kohler Shark Fin flapper assemblies. The flapper seals the flush valve seat at the bottom of the toilet tank, holding water until the flush cycle is initiated. When the flush handle is pressed, the flapper lifts, releases the tank water into the bowl, then reseats to allow the tank to refill. This component is installed by plumbers and experienced service technicians during routine toilet repair or maintenance.

This flapper is intended for use in residential toilet tank repair applications where the original Kohler Shark Fin flapper has worn, warped, or begun to leak. A leaking or degraded flapper is one of the most common causes of a running toilet and continuous water waste. Replacing this part restores proper flush performance and tank seal integrity.

Key Features

• Designed to replace the Kohler Shark Fin flapper assembly in toilet tanks
• Seals flush valve seat to maintain tank water level between flush cycles
• Restores proper flush cycle operation when original flapper has worn or warped
• Direct replacement format simplifies installation and reduces service time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement flapper for Kohler Shark Fin toilet flush valve assemblies in residential toilet tanks.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply valve behind or below the toilet before beginning work and flush the tank to drain residual water. This repair is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Disconnect the existing flapper from the overflow tube ears and flush chain before installing the replacement. Verify proper chain length and seat alignment after installation to confirm a complete seal and correct flush operation.
