American Standard Escutcheon Kit - AMS-M970005

It's a faucet escutcheon kit, meaning the decorative trim plate (and its mounting pieces) that covers the deck or wall openings behind a faucet. It is not the faucet or the valve itself, so if you need working parts like a cartridge or stem, this isn't it. Order it when the existing plate is pitted, cracked, or you are converting to a faucet that needs the extra holes hidden.

Legacy Bronze is the finish offered on this kit, under part number M970005-2780A. If the rest of your faucet trim is chrome, brushed nickel, or polished brass, this plate will not match, and American Standard escutcheon kits are finish-specific rather than paintable. Match the suffix on the trim you already have before ordering.

Yes, for openings using this American Standard escutcheon. Because only the Legacy Bronze version is sold under this kit, every unit you order arrives in the same finish, so replacements across a floor or a whole property will match each other. The thing to verify per fixture is the faucet model itself, since the escutcheon is a faucet-specific American Standard service part and not a universal plate.

Functionally similar, in that both hide openings, but an escutcheon kit like the American Standard M970005 is the manufacturer's service trim matched to a specific faucet body, while a generic deck plate is sized to a standard 4 inch or 8 inch hole layout. If you are replacing damaged original trim on an American Standard faucet, use the escutcheon kit. If you are covering leftover holes after swapping to a single-hole faucet, a deck plate sized to your hole spacing is the right call.

The kit supplies the escutcheon trim itself. Plumbers doing a full trim refresh usually also want the supply connections and any gasket or putty for sealing the plate to the deck, and if the faucet is leaking rather than just looking worn, the repair is in the cartridge or stem, not this plate. Pull the old escutcheon first and confirm whether the fault is cosmetic.
