Abstract
A faucet body mounted on a wall and having a connecting pipe projecting from the wall and having an outer end secured via a faceted nut to the body, has escutcheon with a sleeve centered on an axis, formed with an external screwthread, and formed with at least one axially extending and radially inwardly projecting ridge engageable with facets of the faucet-assembly nut so as to rotationally couple the sleeve to the nut. An outer ring fitting around the sleeve has an internal screwthread meshing with the screwthread of the sleeve and has a rear face. A seal set in and projecting axially rearwardly from the rear face of the ring engages the wall.
