Unusual set up of vanity plumbing, but is it wrong. That is the question of the day.

Assuming the venting is inside the wall and most likely a wet vent,The weir of the trap is above the vent opening, all they would have to do is extend the tailpiece and they could set it up correctly, but they also need to be aware not to make the tailpiece longer than 24"

I guess it would have been better to call it an "s" trap, but.... I like my narratives to be shocking!!

An extension of the Tail piece will work and properly connect the drain per what is visible. Where do you see an S Trap? Joseph P. Hagarty, CMI joseph.hagarty@comcast.net Main Line Inspections, Inc.
