Korky R528 Replacement Fill Valve Cap Assembly for Korky Fill Valves

Had the old unit leaking water by the seal washer. This worked great as a replacement. Quick and easy to install. Love that I didn't have to replace the whole unit just the part that was leaking.

I just purchased 3 pieces of Lavelle R528. The installation is very easy and once done the fill valve works just like new.It's good to keep the spare at home and buy 3 saved me some shipping cost..

So my toilet started making this pulsating sound when I would flush it. Not only was it loud, but it also caused it to take much longer to fill back up. Well, it was easy to figure out that the cause was the fill valve, and I was prepared to just get a whole new fill valve.But first, I searched the internet for, "How to take apart a Korky fill valve." And I came across a video that showed how to take it mostly apart and clean the pieces while it was still connected to the base of the toilet's fill basin (or whatever it's called). So I did just that. However, upon doing so I noticed that the rubber piece in the top of the cap was pretty much destroyed beyond repair...I was then prepared to, once again, go ahead and get a whole new fill valve. Even though I had shopped for one the night before though, and saw many different fill valves, I had never come across any parts for the Korky fill valve that I have. And even after cleaning the parts of my fill valve and discovering that the cap piece was no good anymore, it never occurred to me to look for just the part that I needed. So then, I was literally getting ready to check out with a whole new fill valve in my cart, when I saw this part as one of the items commonly bought with what I was going to buy. Or something like that, lol.Well, sure enough, this was the part that I needed. And it was VERY easy to install. Especially since I already knew how to take apart the fill valve. So to anyone else planning to do this, I would suggest looking for that video that I mentioned. And also, since you'll be taking apart the fill valve in order to change this part out, then you might as well clean the other parts that they show in the video. Which is really only two more parts beyond this part. After you take this part off of the fill valve, there should be another round looking piece that you can just pull out, that has a long tube protruding off of the bottom of it. Then, this long tube should have a piece sticking out from the very bottom of it that you can grab and pull out. If it doesn't want to come out, then it's a pretty good sign that it probably needs to be taken out and cleaned up.But anyway, doing all of that should add a few more years to the life of your fill valve. AND, it keeps you from having to go through the more difficult parts of replacing a fill valve. So of course, I would highly recommend getting this part and changing it out. If that's what you need to do.

This product has worked well since installation 1 month ago. It was used to replace the existing unit that lasted 10 years on the Toto toilet. A new fill valve assembly that includes this product as part of the assembly was not required, thus saving some $$. The old one wore out causing a leak that resulted in the fill valve stoping and re-starting during the fill cycle within the water closet. This is a symptom to watch for if anyone reading this has a similar problem. It's the only product that will work with the Toto Carlye. Also had to replace the flush gasket that wore out. Only wish I had purchased 2 of them instead of 1 as they are useful to have in inventory for the next time this happens. Amen!

Easy to install. Works great.
