Abstract
An escutcheon or wall flange to receive a pipe, conduit, cable or like member has an outer periphery, and an inner periphery or a definable inner periphery to bear on the intended pipe. The escutcheon or flange is of a flexible material limited as to its flex outwardly of the inner periphery, or definable inner periphery, by a profile feature and/or a thickness increase. The escutcheon may also be of a flexible material limited as to its flex outwardly in the radial direction of the inner periphery by a profile feature of the face to be concealed in use or profile features of the face to be concealed in use. The escutcheon may also include one or more sacrificial or tear away portions for accommodating different sized pipe.
