DELTA FAUCET RP29827, 13 x 8.12 x 0.38 inches, Chrome

This renovation cover plate is well constructed with a generous layer of chrome and comes with handy backing rods to facilitate positioning. It has a seal on the back to eliminate the need for calking (be sure to position the break in the seal at the bottom to facilitate removal of condensation). It's also important, when doing a two faucet to one faucet renovation that the exact position of the final valve assembly be carefully measured to insure proper clearance for the piping and hardware lest you cut a hole into a structural element. A carbide tipped hole saw is recommended to cut the opening for the monovalve. I recommend a dual valve with separate handle for volume and temperature verses the all-on-starting-at-cold-single-handle version.

Amazing upgrade from old shower and the plate retrofit covers perfectly and it is matching beautifully HansGrohe thermostatic controller purchased on Amazon.

I am a plumber and these are a great way to update a shower valve without having to damage anything. I install them in tile showers too, but cutting open an old tiled wall takes some skill and effort. This can save you from making drywall repairs and they look pretty good once you get them in. They match up with the standard Delta round trim and look pretty seamless.They are plastic, and if you over tighten the screws you will damage the plate or the screw mounts.

This looks great! I just put it on behind my delta plate and tightened the screws a little. Once I got this cover plate all lined up I finished tightening the screws and that was it. I didn't even use the screws for this plate. I used clear caulk and put silicone caulk in the holes. I love the saccharine and how flat it goes against the wall. Glad I went with Delta all the way. Glad I shop at Amazon. Best prices hands down. I had the opportunity to get the Moen 1920 FREE but after seeing it and seeing the this on on. There's no comparison. Delta wins. I'm so happy

This works pretty well to cover the holes left in the wall when changing from a 3-handle tub or shower faucet to a modern single handle faucet. It’s chrome-colored plastic, and it’s fairly sturdy for being plastic. The method by which it’s anchored to the existing wall can be a bit tricky to make work well, especially if you have tile on top of a thick mud job. The design of it flows well with most current round faucet trim kits. It won’t work with most trim kits that have rectangular back plates, though. I find it difficult to have enough room to work to replace a tub/shower valve with just the cutout in the wall this provides. I would recommend cutting an access hole in the wall behind the tub/shower if at all possible so you can work from behind.

I replaced an old 3 handle gerber with a 1 handle moen. I couldn't be hapier. Some reviers say it's crome plated plastic. Of course it is. All shower heads and kitchen faucets are plastic. What a bunch of cry babies.

This is, as others have reviewed, plastic but nice attractive plastic.Be aware that this mounts between the standard valve plate and the wall, making the standard plate stick out a bit more than if was mounted tight to the wall. Thus the distance between the standard plate and the valve body is increased. Because of this you may need to source longer mount screws and your local big box store likely won't have them.

Updating my 3 handle shower unit to a newer single Delta required this unit... The ad said Chrome so I assumed it was.Upon doing the work ( all apart now ) I found it to be chrome cover plastic. Big problem , no... but just surprised.It still went up good and looks fine.Con.. not metal, stuck on foam ( sealing strip on back to prevent water entering at wall/tiles ) not 100% put on straight and no way to change it ( not a major problem as I use quality clear silicon around top of plate anyway )
