A: Hi Kathy,
The deck plate or escutcheon as you call it is not optional.
You need to purchase a faucet designed for a one or more hole application. These faucets are designed for multiple installation options and spacing.

A: Hi Ziggy,
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # 2497LF has a cache or hidden aerator. If you are going to add an after-market filter to this faucet, you will need to purchase an adapter to make the thread size 55/64". The model number is RP51505 and can be purchased from your local associate. If the water filter will fit the 55/64" thread size, you can use it.
Thanks.
