American Standard M970198-0750A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the American Standard M970198 putty plate actually used for?
It's the escutcheon putty plate that sits under a faucet escutcheon on the deck or wall, giving the plumber's putty or sealant a clean surface to seal against and hiding the rough opening. American Standard supplies it as a faucet part, and this version is the one for a faucet with a spray.
2) Is the M970198 the faucet escutcheon itself or just the plate behind it?
It is the putty plate, not the finished escutcheon trim and not the faucet. The plate backs the escutcheon and carries the putty seal. If the visible trim ring on your American Standard faucet is damaged, that's a separate part.
3) Does the American Standard putty plate M970198-0750A work on a faucet without a side spray?
The part is specified for a faucet with spray, so match it to a spray-equipped American Standard faucet. On a no-spray faucet the deck hole layout differs, and you'd want the plate American Standard lists for that configuration.
4) I manage apartments with American Standard kitchen faucets. Can I stock this putty plate as a common repair part?
It's a sensible stock item if your units run American Standard faucets with a side spray. The plate is what fails or gets discarded during a faucet swap, and buying it ahead means a leaking deck seal gets fixed on the first trip instead of the second. Order it by the American Standard number M970198-0750A so you get the spray version.
5) Do I still need plumber's putty when installing this escutcheon plate?
Yes. The plate is the backing the sealant beds against, it does not come pre-sealed. Plumber's putty or a silicone bead is supplied separately, as are any faucet mounting nuts or washers, which come with the faucet rather than this plate.
6) What finish does the American Standard escutcheon putty plate come in?
Stainless steel is the finish offered, ordered as M970198-0750A. Since the plate sits behind the escutcheon, it does not need to match your faucet's visible finish.
