American Standard M962823-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the American Standard M962823 escutcheon, and what does it do on a faucet?
It is the round trim plate that covers the mounting hole on a faucet installation, hiding the deck or wall opening and the valve body behind it. It is a cover plate only, not a valve, cartridge, or spout, so it does not affect water flow. American Standard lists it for faucet applications.
2) Which finishes does the American Standard M962823 round escutcheon come in?
Two finishes: polished chrome, ordered as M962823-0020A, and stainless steel, ordered as M962823-0750A. Match the finish to the faucet trim already on the fixture, since an escutcheon sits directly against the spout or handle trim and a mismatch shows immediately.
3) I manage several buildings with American Standard faucets. Can I use this escutcheon to tidy up an oversized hole in the deck?
That is the job it does, within limits. The M962823 is a round escutcheon for faucet applications, so it will conceal a round opening and the hardware behind it, but it only covers what its own diameter reaches. For a hole enlarged beyond a standard faucet bore, or a non-round cutout, you need a base plate or deck plate sized to the opening rather than this trim piece.
4) Will the M962823 escutcheon fix a leaking or dripping faucet?
No. This is decorative trim, not a functional part. A drip comes from the cartridge, seats, or O-rings inside the valve, and replacing the escutcheon changes nothing about it. Order the repair kit for your specific American Standard valve for that, and use the M962823 only when the existing cover plate is pitted, cracked, or the wrong finish.
5) Which American Standard part number should I give purchasing for a stainless escutcheon?
Stainless steel is M962823-0750A. The chrome version of the same round escutcheon is M962823-0020A. Both carry the M962823 base number, so quote the full suffixed number to avoid getting the wrong finish.
6) Does the American Standard M962823 escutcheon come with a gasket or mounting screws?
What ships is the escutcheon itself, in either chrome or stainless. Plan on reusing the existing gasket, putty, or sealant at the deck, and keep the original retaining hardware from the faucet you are servicing, since the plate is sold as a trim replacement rather than a complete mounting kit.
