Moen Chrome Chateau Collection Replacement Escutcheon Pate for One-Handle Tub and Shower Faucets, 16090

This Moen Chrome Chateau Collection Replacement Escutcheon was almost perfect replacement for my shower repair project. Mine was cracked through the screw holes. The only difference found was a "sun" emblem for Hot and "snowflake" for Cold positions instead of H & C letters respectively for hot and cold positions that was on my old one. All other aspects were identical to my old escutcheon.

Works great just like the original

Glad to have found this item as the local home improvement stores only carry a plastic version. I have the plastic version and after about 4 years of use the bottom has split in half and the chrome finish is peeling in spots. Hopeful that this metal version holds up better. Only surprise was that it does not include the screws, which seemed kind of odd to me (purchased from Amazon, not a third party). Fortunately my old ones were still in good shape.

The parts were perfect oem parts. Nothing fits like the original parts. Very nice!

Nice, shiny, and new. Arrived safe and in new condition, fairly quickly. Looks great, and I thought my old one was ok. I'm glad I replaced it.

Used it for a shower remodel on a 1983 Moen installation where I had to knock down all the old tile and the new install I needed a super tight seal, but I don't like escutheons that protrude from the wall. I couldn't find this cover anywhere else but I love the flush and flat appearance, it is so clean with a good sealant around it. The universal install kit from Danco is plastic with a chrome color and it makes that obnoxious bubble shape in your shower. Hell no. Nothing made me more furious than seeing plastic at Home Depot. THIS IS METAL! Now the old Escutcheon was some kind of steel but it wasn't chromed. I don't know what finish it was in 1983. So it looked really gross, deposits and minerals, just bad. I wanted that same look again but when I discovered a CHROME finish from this seller, I exploded with joy. I replaced it with this one and it looks so luxurious. It shines like a DIAMOND in that shower now. Fit like a glove. Just look at my photos. The thing is so bright I had to get a new diverter spout and a new shower head because I just loved throwing it on. I can also confirm it comes with both seals. It cleans with a wipe of a towel. What a fantastic product, great seller, and it came to me in one day with my prime. Home Depot can stick that Danco you know where...

This is an excellent product. It is made of all metal, not plastic, and is about 1 inch larger than the original 1972 Moen Chateau escutcheon it replaced. Most importantly, this part has a very substantial gasket on the back side to prevent water dripping behind the plate, and it has a weep hole on the bottom. The original escutcheon had no weep hole and a very flimsy gasket. When my old one was removed, I saw the back side was full of hard water deposits, so it was definitely trapping water up against the wall. Who knew?There is a mysterious leak behind my shower wall and no access panel, so I opted to try and replace all the trim pieces before tearing up the walls. I don't know if I permanently solved the entire problem, but this definitely took care of part of it. My plumber also caulked around the outside edge (being careful not to fill the weep hole). I also had him install a new tub spout and shower arm. Both of those had big open gaps where the pipe sticks out of the wall, that the pieces screw on to. Sure enough it was wet inside those holes! You have to close those holes behind the fixtures with caulk or putty, and then install the new fixture. So if you have an older bathroom and can't spring for a complete demo/remodel, this is an inexpensive thing to try first.

Had a 30 year old shower control that needed seal replacement and the old plate was just too beat up to justify keeping and I lucked out and found this one. Hard to find these old plates.
