Lines too close for escutcheons?

[Daniel617]

Hi,
I’m installing a pedestal sink in a powder room and I’m wanting to add a couple escutcheons to the water supply pipes but they appear to be too close together to fit 2 plates. What would be a good workaround for this? Maybe get plastic ones and cut them to size?

Thanks,
Dan

I would look for a white melamine saucer (dinnerware) large enough to fit over all three and carefully drill the three holes.

I once took a stainless steel measuring cup and cut it to the desired depth to match a brushed nickle finish.

You mean all during the construction phase NOBODY questioned that placement? Must have been a bunch of "that's not my job" guys.

HJ, That looks like old work. My guess is the old pedestal hid all of that and they probably crowded the angle stops so that it would get hidden.

I had not been picturing that right. Yes, that makes good sense.

Presuming the pedestal hides the drain, that sounds like a good move. You could even cut metal, but the plastic should be very nice and easier to cut.

Why bother. Your not going see them anyways

Maybe the new pedestal won't hide them?
