Hi,
I have a shower stall with two knob style valves coming out of the wall seperately. The old knobs and escutcheon were removed prior to purchase of the house and are not around. The current valve stems installed don't seem to have the threading to allow the plastic threaded tube to be screwed in, thus allowing the escutcheon to be screw on to that.
Also, I have not removed a valve yet but just eyeballing them with the ones from home depot the ones in the wall seem smaller. I need to get this dump on the market ASAP so is there a quick way to attach the escutcheon so the holes in the wall don't show? Will putty or caulk hold them securely enough? They are not that much bigger in diameter than the knobs.
Please help!
Thanks!
