Kohler Wellworth 1.6 gpf K-4620

Hello

I have a Kohler Wellworth K-4620. Looks like it's from 2006

The toilet never worked right when I bought this house 10 years ago.

I just ordered the Kohler fill valve and flapper.

What color restrictor valve do I use.

There is none on the old one. Looks like some generic fluid master that's in there.

The GP1083167 and the GP1138930 come with an assortment of Flow Restrictors.

Purpose of Flow Restrictors

• When a conventional toilet is flushed, the bowl simultaneously refills with water as the tank refills. However, the tank is much larger than the bowl and typically fills at a significantly slower rate.
• The flow restrictor restricts the flow of water refill into the bowl during tank refill so the bowl fills in about the same period of time as the tank.

Thanks sir. I just put the new one in. I used the Kohler fill valve and it fills very slow.

I think that's to be expected with this type of valve?

I think so, the last one I installed also filled slowly.
