Jeff-B. - Okanagan: Easy to replace (if you know how to disassemble your Kohler faucet). Seems to work fine. But, on occasion, the faucet sometimes makes a "clunk" noise when the tap lever is turned on. Not sure why that happens. But, otherwise works ok.
P.S. Be sure to always replace your faucet "O" ring set at the same time. I have to replace my 0-rings every few years it seems like.

rocks are people too: My kitchen faucet had been fussy for quite a while, leaking out the spigot if I didn't close it carefully. I finally ordered this and put it in just now. Leak is gone now.

Before I ordered I watched the installation video from Kohler (easy to find on YouTube) and took a look at my old valve to make sure it matched and confirm that I had the correct tools. I recommend this step for anyone who is unsure of whether or not to order this as a DIY task.

I didn't bother ordering the O rings they suggest installing at the same time. I'm not sure, but I think I only would have needed them if the leak had been around the valve instead of through the valve and out the spigot.

Kelly Houle: We have an older Kohler tap about 16 years old. This fit perfect and tap is now fixed.

Jacques: Excellent rapport qualité/prix, produit authentique Kohler, remplacement facile de la pièce originale. Mais il faut absolument avoir de la graisse de silicone pour le remontage afin que ça glisse facilement. S'assurer également de bien nettoyer les dépôts calcaires dans le compartiment de laiton dans lequel cette cartouche s'insère si on veut un fonctionnement aussi doux et efficace que l'original. Faire couler du vinaigre blanc dans le compartiment, att3ndre une 30 de minutes puis un petit coup de brosse, on assèche, on dépose un peu de graisse et ce sera comme neuf.

N David: I initially received an open package from Amazon with a valve that was installed by someone, but Amazon replaced it without issue. I have a 10 year old single spout stainless Kohler kitchen faucet that began to leak for the 2nd time. The valve and o-rings were easy to install and fixed the leak I was having from the base of the unit. The toughest part was removing the decorative cap which was seized on. I cleaned the faucet with CLR and alcohol before reinstall. For the price of the kit, it was worth repairing versus replacing the faucet.

RatherLiveInKeyWest: This valve kit was exactly what we needed to stop a leak in our 2.5 year old Kohler K-10412 Single Control Faucet (Brushed Nickel finish).

The leak started about a week ago and got progressively worse each day, virtually turning into a river two days ago. The parts were delivered yesterday and, with our 14 year old son's help, we fixed the leak this morning. The job took about 20 minutes total (think we could do it in 10 next time though...), and we also replaced the o-rings and slide bearings ( Kohler GP30420 O-Ring Seal Kit for Kitchen Faucets with Bearings, O-Rings and Lube ) and the friction ring ( KOHLER 1005201 Washer Friction ) in the process.

Here is what we did to replace the valve; if looking for the steps to replace all parts mentioned above, please follow the link to the o-ring kit and read the more expansive worklist:

* Turned off the water running to the sink
* Put stoppers in the drains on both sides of the sink, just to make sure nothing accidentally went down the drain...
* Used a small flat-head screwdriver to remove the plug from the back of the handle, providing access the handle's set screw
* Used a small hex (Allen) wrench to...
