4. Setup and Installation

The Jaclo 7116-ORB Bell Escutcheon is designed for straightforward installation. No specialized tools are typically required.

1. Prepare the Area: Ensure the pipe or fixture opening where the escutcheon will be placed is clean and free of debris.
2. Verify Sizing: Confirm that the pipe or fixture diameter matches the 11/16 inch opening of the escutcheon.
3. Position the Escutcheon: Carefully slide the bell escutcheon over the pipe or fixture until it rests flush against the wall or surface, covering the opening.
4. Secure (if applicable): In most cases, bell escutcheons are held in place by friction or by being compressed between the wall and the fixture. Ensure it is seated firmly. Avoid using excessive force that could damage the finish.

5. Usage and Function

The Jaclo 7116-ORB Bell Escutcheon serves a purely aesthetic function, providing a clean and finished look by concealing the rough opening around a pipe or fixture. It is not a functional plumbing component and does not affect water flow or pressure.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the beauty and integrity of your Oil Rubbed Bronze finish, follow these guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Drying: After cleaning, gently dry the escutcheon with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Polishes: Do not use waxes or polishes unless specifically designed for Oil Rubbed Bronze finishes, as they may alter the appearance.

7. Troubleshooting

• Escutcheon Does Not Fit:

  Ensure the pipe or fixture diameter is exactly 11/16 inches. If it is larger or smaller, this escutcheon will not fit correctly. Verify the product model number against your requirements.

• Escutcheon is Loose:

  Bell escutcheons are often held by friction. If it is loose, ensure it is fully seated against the wall or surface. If the pipe is slightly undersized, a small amount of plumber's putty or silicone sealant applied discreetly to the inside edge can help secure it, but this is generally not required for a proper fit.

• Finish Damage:

  Scratches or damage to the Oil Rubbed Bronze finish are typically permanent. Follow maintenance guidelines to prevent future damage. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
