Kohler K-GP77006-RP GP77006-rp Ceramic Valve, One Size, Rough Plate

I fixed my leaking faucet myself and saved $$

I did not expect this part available, so I was so happy to get it and the part perfectly fit.

Product as described. Harder to install than expected but thats based on the design and not the replacement part.

A 25 year old valve started dripping and this was an easy to find replacement that works perfectly. There was some problem doing the replacement but it had nothing to do with the valve. A spark plug socket that fits the valve solved the problem.

It came in a original Kohler replacement package. No issue installing it and work just fine.

I originally ordered GP1092203 and that is for the same faucet, but a newer revision. If you have the older version then you will need this all brass and copper valve (the good old quality Kohler) otherwise the newer part number is largely plastic and wont even be close to fitting. Unfortunately the only way I know how to tell the difference is disassemble the faucet before ordering the replacement part.

The only part you can use to match the original Kohler equipment, so a good value here on Amazon, especially with Subscribe and Save, but 2 of of these started leaking after 5 years. Valves shouldnt go bad that quickly especially if they arent used very often.

The one I got was brass, which was just like the other one (I got both a clockwise and counter-clockwise). Replacing both hot and cold. However removing the old set was not easy; they did not unscrew easily. But the new set bolted right in.

Fixred kohler bathroom faucet. Unfortunately the faucet was frozen. Product worked fine.
