A generally planar mounting plate is formed to slidingly receive at least one mounting strap for supporting the plate between two adjacent wall studs. A mounting dish overlies a first side of the mounting plate. A valve, such as an angle stop valve or a gate valve, is secured to the mounting plate and mounting dish utilizing a cylindrical hollow adapter and a nut. The adapter has a female threaded forward end which is screwed over the male threaded shank of the valve. The adapter has a male threaded rearward end that extends through a hole in the base of the dish and a hole in an intermediate region of the mounting plate. A nut is screwed over the rearward end of the adapter to squeeze the mounting dish and the mounting plate between a shoulder of the adapter and the nut. A detachable outer cover is provided for frictionally engaging an internal wall of the dish for enclosing and protecting the valve during installation and finishing of the surrounding drywall. A detachable ring-shaped escutcheon slides into the dish once the cover has been removed.
