If an overflow gasket does not fit, can it be rotated?
Our new tub is very vertical at the supply/drain side at the overflow hole. The drain fitting we have slopes backwards very slightly where it connects. The rubber gasket for the overflow is very steeply beveled (~1/8″ to 3/8″ thickness). It appears to fit better if the thick part is at the top and I’ve seen comments online that both say thick to top and thick to bottom.
