Kohler Genuine 1022551 Flush Valve

The Kohler Genuine 1022551 Flush Valve is an essential component in a toilet tank that controls the flushing mechanism. Here are some details about it:

• Function: The flush valve is responsible for releasing water from the tank into the bowl during a flush. When the toilet handle is pressed, the flush valve opens, allowing water to flow rapidly into the bowl to remove waste. 
• Sealing Mechanism: The flush valve has a rubber flapper or canister seal that creates a watertight seal when closed. This prevents water from continuously flowing into the bowl.
