  • Patent number: 12071750
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an adjustable covering trim for covering a valve concealed behind a finishing wall and which is adapted to accommodate different valve installations. The trim includes a decorative outer frame to be mounted on a finishing wall, a handle which is rotatably coupled thereon and an articulated cartridge adaptor or interface which can be releasably coupled with an internal surface of the hollow handle. The adaptor is further adapted to be mounted on a cartridge distal end of the valve so that both the cartridge distal end and the articulated cartridge adaptor can rotate with the hollow handle upon rotation of the hollow handle about a cartridge centerline. The articulated cartridge adaptor is articulable relatively to the cartridge centerline. The covering trim may further include a temperature control mechanism and means to easily mount a decorative cover to the finishing wall.
