Bk 158-002 Chrome Split Plate 3/8 Inch Ips

Product Description

The BK 158-002 is a chrome-plated steel split plate designed for 3/8 inch IPS pipe with a 0.675 inch opening diameter. Split plates, also called escutcheon plates or cover plates, are used to provide a clean, finished appearance where a pipe passes through a wall, floor, or ceiling. The two-piece split design allows the plate to be installed or removed without disconnecting the pipe. This part is typically installed by plumbers or finish tradespeople during rough-in cleanup or trim-out stages of a project.

This split plate is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing trim applications where a 3/8 inch IPS pipe penetrates a finished surface. Common installations include supply line connections at walls, fixture rough-ins, and exposed pipe penetrations where a professional finish is required. The chrome finish coordinates with standard plumbing fixture hardware in bathrooms, kitchens, and utility spaces.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond basic hand tools. Shut off the water supply to the affected line before performing any nearby pipe work. The split plate snaps or fastens around the pipe at the finished surface after rough-in is complete. Follow local plumbing codes for trim and finish requirements on exposed pipe penetrations.
