Tapco 1142714 Flush Valve Kohler Kit 1.28 Gpf

Product Description

The TAPCO 1142714 is a flush valve kit designed for Kohler toilets operating at 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF). This kit provides the internal flush valve components needed to restore proper flushing performance in low-consumption toilet systems. It is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where water-efficient toilets require service or repair. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this type of kit during routine toilet maintenance or when diagnosing weak, incomplete, or running flush cycles.

This flush valve kit is suited for 1.28 GPF Kohler toilet installations, which represent the current standard for water-conserving gravity-flush systems in residential construction and renovation. It is a replacement-grade kit intended for use when the original flush valve components have worn, cracked, or failed to seal properly. Typical applications include single-family homes, multi-unit residential buildings, and light commercial restrooms where Kohler 1.28 GPF toilets are installed.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician. Shut off the water supply at the stop valve and flush the tank completely before beginning any disassembly. Follow local plumbing codes, including applicable IPC guidelines, when servicing toilet flush valve components. Do not overtighten tank bolts or valve lock nuts, as porcelain tanks are susceptible to cracking under excessive torque.
