A tap escutcheon is a cover that is placed around the spout or connection of a tap to the wall or sink. It covers the opening where the tap pipe enters the wall or sink, creating a neat and tidy appearance. It also protects the underlying connection from dust, moisture, and limescale buildup. A escutcheon is usually mounted at the base of a sink tap's spout or at the wall connection of a faucet or shower. This tap escutcheon is designed for Slim single-lever sink taps.
