Kohler exact part record
Kohler GP1016515: application and identification
GP1016515 is a ceramic valve cartridge tied to documented Kohler applications. Confirm the model, generation, and installed geometry before purchase.
Direct answer
Kohler lists GP1016515 as a ceramic valve service part for designated single-control kitchen faucet models shown in its parts lookup. This is a source-backed application, not a fit claim based on visual similarity. Look up the complete K-number and revision from the faucet or installation record because one-handle Kohler kitchen faucets do not all share this valve.

Documented application
Kohler lists GP1016515 as a ceramic valve service part for designated single-control kitchen faucet models shown in its parts lookup.
The relationship should be confirmed in the official service record for the complete faucet or rough-in model. A family name or matching trim is useful evidence, but it is not the same as a model-level parts callout.
Generation and configuration check
Look up the complete K-number and revision from the faucet or installation record because one-handle Kohler kitchen faucets do not all share this valve.
Record whether the control is single-handle faucet and whether the service diagram describes the complete assembly or only the replaceable internal component.
Physical confirmation
Compare the cartridge base ports, locating tabs, stem profile, and retaining method with the part diagram for that K-number.
Shut off the water and remove the existing part only when the fixture can be safely returned to service. Photograph its installed orientation and keep every retainer for comparison.
Purchase decision
Order GP1016515 only when the official model relationship and the installed configuration agree. If either check conflicts, pause and identify the complete faucet or concealed valve before buying.
Do not infer compatibility from color, finish, handle style, or a marketplace photo. Those cues can group candidates, but they do not supersede the manufacturer's parts diagram.
Questions
Before you remove or replace the part
Is GP1016515 compatible with every Kohler kitchen faucet?
No. Kohler lists GP1016515 as a ceramic valve service part for designated single-control kitchen faucet models shown in its parts lookup. Confirm the complete model and generation in Kohler's support material.
Can trim style identify the internal part?
Not reliably. Trim may be shared across valves, retained during updates, or visually similar across generations. Use the rough-in or faucet model and the installed component.
What should I compare after removal?
Compare the stem interface, body dimensions, locating features, seals, ports, rotation or side, and retention method with the official GP1016515 service image.
