Hi,
I am almost done with my shower re-tiling job and tonight I went to put on the new trim kit (American Standard Seva single handle T480), and the escutcheon that came with it will not attach to the existing valve.
The old trim kit was also American Standard, however the old rough valve says "Ideal Standard". Looks like they were affiliated companies at one point. The problem is that instead of 2 places to attach the escutcheon screws, I only see one on the bottom of the valve (see photo) Unfortunately I threw away the old trim kit so that's not a fallback option for me.
Any thoughts on whether I can find a trim kit that will work with this valve? I'd rather not rip out tile and install a new valve just because I can't find matching trim.
Thanks,
Eric
