Chicago Faucets 243.284.21.1
The Chicago Faucets 243.284.21.1 is a genuine OEM 8-Inch Cover Plate Assembly specifically engineered for the HyTronic® Edge and HyTronic® Curve series of electronic faucets. This deck plate is the professional solution for covering unused side holes on a standard 3-hole, 8-inch centerset sink, allowing for a clean transition to a single-hole touchless faucet. Manufactured with ECAST® lead-free brass and finished in a high-polished chrome, this assembly provides a unified, high-end look while maintaining the structural integrity of the installation.
Expert Insight:
The 243.284.21.1 is the wider alternative to the 4-inch plate, designed for larger commercial basins. Installation Tip: To achieve a watertight seal, apply a thin bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant to the underside perimeter of the plate before securing it to the deck. Pro Tip: This assembly features vandal-resistant threaded shanks. By bolting the plate directly through the outer sink holes, you create a three-point mounting system that virtually eliminates faucet "wobble" or rotation. This is particularly important for the Edge and Curve models, which have a heavier spout weight than standard manual faucets. The 8-inch spread ensures complete coverage of legacy holes, making it the ideal choice for high-traffic renovations in airports, stadiums, and schools.
