Replacement Piston Assembly
The Kohler 1056873 piston assembly is a genuine replacement component designed for specific Kohler kitchen sink fixtures. It restores proper valve function when the original piston wears or fails. Homeowners and plumbers use this part to fix dripping or inconsistent water flow without replacing the entire faucet body.
Cartridge Service Limits
This piston assembly operates within the mechanical tolerances of the original faucet cartridge design. It cannot compensate for damaged valve seats, corroded housing bores or worn seals elsewhere in the cartridge. If the surrounding brass body is scored or the O-ring grooves are deformed, the new piston will not seal correctly and the leak will persist.
Precision Machined Fit
The component is manufactured to Kohler factory dimensions for a direct press fit into compatible cartridge bodies. No special tools are required beyond those used for standard cartridge removal. The smooth finish resists mineral buildup and allows repeated disassembly for future maintenance. Installers should lubricate O-rings with silicone grease during assembly to prevent pinching.
