Replacement Canister Valve Kit
The Kohler 1083980 is a replacement canister valve assembly kit designed for Kohler kitchen sinks. It provides the internal components needed to restore proper water flow and shut-off function. Homeowners or plumbers repairing a dripping or stiff faucet will find this kit matches the original equipment. It is not intended for faucets using cartridge or ball-valve designs.
New Condition Installation
Supplied new and sealed from the manufacturer since June 17, 2021, the assembly arrives free of wear or mineral build-up. Fresh seals and moving surfaces reduce the friction that causes handle stiffness or leaks. No special tools beyond standard basin wrenches are required for the swap. The kit contains only the valve assembly; supply lines and trim are not included.
Sustained Daily Operation
Under repeated daily cycles the canister mechanism maintains consistent shut-off without the pressure decay seen in worn units. Ceramic disc surfaces resist the abrasion that shortens the life of rubber-seated alternatives. The assembly tolerates normal household pressure fluctuations without hammer or chatter. Extremely hard water may accelerate deposit formation on the sealing faces over time.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Kohler 1083980 canister valve assembly and what step is often missed?
Turn off the water supply, remove the old canister, insert the new assembly fully until it seats, then secure the retaining nut; the step often missed is verifying the nut is tight enough to prevent bypass leaks.
What maintenance or replacement will the Kohler 1083980 canister valve need over time?
The internal seals and spring inside the canister wear with daily use; expect to replace the entire canister assembly again when the faucet drips or handle feel becomes inconsistent.
What limit appears first on the Kohler 1083980 canister valve during sustained heavy use?
The polymer seal surfaces degrade fastest under continuous high-flow cycles, leading to a slow drip or reduced shut-off force before any metal component fails.
