Danco 80830 1-3/4-Inch Kitchen Faucet Hole Cover, Chrome

Cheap Danco 80830 1-3/4-Inch Kitchen Faucet Hole Cover, Chrome Review

Okay, first off, the property management team who "administer" the apartment complex wherein I dwell are definitely practitioners of what I'd call the "hands off" management style. So basically we tenants of the "slumplex" are on our own for any repairs we actually want completed while we're living here. Believe it or not, I could not find a kitchen faucet hole cover at either the local mom & pop hardware store or at the closest Home Depot. Seriously. You'd think that at least one of such a simple plumbing item would be available in the local hardware store, and certainly there ought to be two of them in stock within the cavernous bowels of the mom & pop-destroying Home Depot...but no! I had to mail-order this piece of gear so that I could fix the existing "plug" that was basically just a wad of plumber's putty, caulk, rust, calcification, soap scum, and bacteria. It worked like a charm, doesn't leak, installed simply and swiftly, and best of all: It Looks Beautiful! My one complaint regarding this item is that the chrome cover with its attached threaded post is held in place by a one-piece threaded retention bar/nut designed to be turned by hand, rather than with a wrench. This results in the plug shifting back and forth within the hole as you tighten the retention bar (since the bar itself is scraping around the circumference of the hole being plugged and catching on the anomalies frequently found on the undersides of sinks); a better design would involve a non-threaded retention bar that could be held in place (thereby "fixing" the position of the plug's threaded post in the center of the hole) with one hand while the additional retention nut is tightened with the other hand.
