Plumbing for Dummies

[CaliforniaChief]

I'm replacing (or attempting to replace) a faucet in my kids' bathroom. I'm attempting to attach the new supply line but this is what the connection is like. I can't unscrew it, how am I supposed to connect a new line to this?

But yes, that's the same thing.

I guess its synonymous or slang....
An escutcheon ring, plate ....etc

But I say 'scussion'

I'm not a great speller

I actually did it.

I sent some better pictures over to a friend who assured me they weren't soldered into the pipe, and managed to pull all 4 off and replace them with 1/4 turn angle valves. The only thing I didn't replace was the stopper mechanism, but it's running well with absolutely no leaks and a very happy wife.

Thanks for the suggestions and confidence!
