Tapco 490-5953-00 Teardrop Stop Escutcheon

Product Description

The TAPCO 490-5953-00 is a teardrop-profile stop escutcheon designed to provide a finished appearance at the wall or floor penetration point where a supply stop valve enters the surface. This trim piece conceals the rough opening around the supply line stub-out, giving a clean, professional look on completed plumbing installations. It is manufactured for use in applications compatible with Eljer teardrop-style valve configurations. Plumbers and finish trim installers fit this escutcheon as part of standard fixture rough-in completion on residential and light commercial projects.

This escutcheon is suited for use in residential bathroom and kitchen plumbing installations where a stop valve exits the wall or floor. It is typically installed during the finish phase of plumbing work, after rough-in inspection and prior to final fixture connection. The teardrop shape is specific to Eljer-style stop valve trim lines, making it the correct replacement or new-installation choice when matching that valve profile.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply and verify the stop valve is properly seated before fitting the escutcheon over the supply line stub-out. No special tools are required for escutcheon placement, though care should be taken not to scratch finished wall or floor surfaces during installation.
