I have a Kohler toilet, it's a low profile, I believe for a handicap person, so short toilet with a short tank.

At the top of the valve there is a valve with three holes that spray water underneath the lid that leaks on the floor.

I don't know why it's spraying water out of these holes, the piece has tubing to run the water proper like other toilets.

How can I stop this valve from spraying water, it sprays in all three directions and one direction goes right underneath the lid of the toilet and water runs on the floor.

The picture below is it spraying out all three of the holes with my hand there to catch the water from exiting the tank onto the floor.

I just changed a flapper on a Kohler one pc Rialto today. has a similar fill valve except the one I saw did not have a refill tube on it. be right back I'll go look up something.

AND the water should not be spraying out the top like that.

Don't think the part that is spraying is serviceable.
You may need to replace the whole valve

Hi,

I have the same problem and can not believe that there is no solutions which does not mean to exchange the entire valve. Any new ideas on this? What is the cause? Can the top part be opened?

Thanks, Tom
