Customers are mixed about the quality of the valve. Some mention it's a quality replacement, while others say it has subpar quality control.

The plastic drain tube wouldn't go into the hole inside of the tank, and the replacement flapper/flush tube assembly didn''t even fit if you have the original design. The bowl rim water feed didn'"t fit into the tank hole and was too tight to make it worth trying again.

Generic water valves such as the Fluidmaster available at most plumbing and hardware stores will not fit in the older Kohler low profile one piece toilets. Fortunately, Kohler offers this conversion kit that enabled the toilet in my home to be saved.
My plumber installed the replacement conversion kit one month ago. The installation was easy and straight forward and the valve has been working properly since it was installed.
This is an original Kohler Replacement part. There are some reviews indicating that this product might not be an original Kohler replacement part. This does not appear to be the case - at least not from careful observation and inspection of the product and enclosed instructions.
If you have an older Kohler one piece toilet and the water does not shut off completely or leaks, then this conversion kit will enable you to keep the toilet for years to come and avoid the cost of replacing an otherwise functional and stylish low profile one piece toilet.
Having installed this one, I know have just purchased anther one for a toilet that leaks and has been through multiple fixes that involve multiple non Kohler products, that have not solved the problem.
So, as others have stated, just give up and get this product.
I am a typical home owner and installed this myself.
It took about 1 1/2 hours.. not the 25 minutes that someone noted a plumber took, but the install was rather basic. Anyone can do it.
A few comments and highlights.
1.) Draining the tank with a turkey baster after the flush took longer than expected. There is a fair amount of water that needs to be removed. That took about 15 minutes..but no water on the floor.
2.) Try as i might , I could not get the flush valve piece to seat into the base of the toilet without leaking. After installing the new device, and tightening the three screws and clamps, it continued to leak. So, I took the old one, which was simply put in with a twist and three plastic tabs engaged and tightened. That one works with the new rubber seal.The attempts to make the new flush assembly seat without leaking took about 1/2 hour of frustration.
3.) The hose for the rim water is, as other note, hard to install. I followed other suggestions.
a.) trim the end with a knife or razor to make the thickness of the tube thinner. I use a scissor to to bevel the end even narrower.
b.) The input plastic attachment is not in the same place as the original And, the hose does not want to connect without a struggle. I followed the advice of another poster. I put the tube in a pot of boiling water, waited one minute, and then the tube flexed easily and fit in. As it cooled, it held the position.
c.) When installing the hose, loosen the float valve assembly from the tank, it makes it easier to plug in the hose and the tighten the float valve.
4.) I used lime away to remove the 25 years of lime build up under the assembly.
5.) Those gaskets after 25 years are disgusting. Bring some paper towels to wipe your hands.
6.) I used the original water attachment with the new assembly. I didn't need a new hose. The original copper tube that was in place worked fine.
All in all, after a struggle with the flush valve assembly and the rim hose, it works fine. No leaks, no running, a perfect flush.. like new.
Only four stars because:
The rim hose should be shaped and easier to install.
The flush valve is harder to install with the silly three screws and grommets than the original which is simply push and turn.
And,
the rim tube attachment to the float valve is not in the same place.
so, four stars for IT WORKS.
But, it could be better
