Tapco 1157032 Closet Piston Assembly

Product Description

The TAPCO 1157032 is a closet piston assembly used in toilet flush valve systems. It serves as the internal actuating component that controls the flush cycle, seating and releasing to regulate water flow from the tank to the bowl. This part is typically serviced by a licensed plumber during flush valve repair or rebuild work. Replacement is necessary when the original piston shows wear, cracking, or fails to seat properly, resulting in a running toilet or incomplete flush.

This assembly is suited for residential and light commercial toilet installations where piston-style flush valve mechanisms are present. It is most commonly installed during service calls targeting chronic flush valve failures or as part of a full valve rebuild. The part is associated with Kohler closet applications based on supplier classification.

Key Features

• Piston-style actuating mechanism for controlled flush cycle operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement piston assembly for Kohler closet flush valve systems, as indicated by supplier classification. Verify exact valve model before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber following local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply to the toilet and flush the tank to depressurize the system before beginning any disassembly. Inspect the flush valve seat for wear or damage while the piston is removed. Do not overtighten the piston assembly, as this may crack internal valve components.
