A readily snap-fitted and removable cover plate, for covering the outwardly-facing or exposed surface of a fluid nozzle body flange, includes a body portion for covering such flange, and tabs projecting from segments of the body portion, movable into and out of alignment with portions of the flange defining an opening therethrough, so as to be retained in or released from engagement with the flange. Spring loading biases the cover plate projecting tabs against the flange to retain engagement of the cover plate with the flange. The cover plate exposed surface has a finish different from the finish of the exposed surface of the flange, which cover plate finish may be selected so as to coordinate with the finish of other fittings in the bathroom.

A plate for covering the outwardly-facing face portion of a flange at an outer end of a fluid nozzle body adapted to be mounted in a bathtub wall, which flange face portion has a finish thereon, and for enabling a change, to a different finish, of the finish of the flange face portion, which flange

A plate for covering the outwardly-facing face portion of a flange at an outer end of a fluid nozzle body adapted to be mounted in a bathtub wall, which flange face portion has a finish thereon, and for enabling a change, to a different finish, of the finish of the flange face portion, which flange further includes portions defining an opening therein, and an inner surface thereof, which cover plate is adapted to be movable into and out of alignment with the opening-defining portions of the flange, and to be freely rotable into and out of engagement with, and positions relative to, the inner surface of the flange, so as to be retained in or released from engagement with, and freely rotatable into and out of positions relative to, the flange, comprising: (a) a body portion, adapted to interfit in the opening in the flange and cover the face portion of the flange, including an outwardly-facing portion having a shape generally complementary to the shape of the face portion of the flange, the finish of which outwardly-facing portion of the plate is different from the finish of the face portion of the flange, and portions defining an opening having a shape generally complementary to the shape of the opening in the flange, the body portion being adapted to be movable, and freely rotatable, into and out of positions relative to the flange; and (b) a retainer portion, which projects from the rearmost part of the opening-defining portions of the body portion, in a plane generally transverse to the axis of such opening-defining portions of the body portion, the retainer portion having a shape generally complementary to the shape of the opening-defining portions of the flange, which retainer portion is adapted to be movable into and out of alignment with the opening-defining portions of the flange, and to be freely rotatable into and out of positions of abutment with the inner surface of the flange, so as to be retained in or released from engagement with, and to be freely rotatable in relation to, the inner surface of the flange.
