I am converting a 2 handle Tub/Shower to 1 handle.
I have size restriction for the Escutcheon of minimum 9.5" Max 11".
10" would be perfect any advice would be wonderful.
I am not having any luck at all.

the MOEN 178755 SHOWER ESCUTCHEON CHROME says it is 10.5 inches wide.

try a sheet metal fabrication shop
they can cut/fabricate a piece of 20 gage stainless to your exact specification
you can then polish it to a mirror (or any other) finish using Jewelers Rouge and a 'throw away' buffing wheel

It is confusing to me that it said the length is 15" and the width 10.5"
Looking at different suppliers I get different measurements.

15" is to wide and will not work, the picture does not show the curves in the surround but they are there.
The other end of the surround is flatter I am wondering if the pluming should have been been installed on the other end , when the house was built ,I guess what I am asking is there a right & left hand surround?
