My sister and I installed a new sink and disposal and I need to be sure the drains are installed correctly. Can someone please verify? IMG_7609.jpegIMG_7610.jpeg

The p-trap is on backward/reversed.
The accordion type of trap is not technically legal (it becomes fouled) but no big deal.
Normally, we cut the tubes on the sink to a minimum and then build down from there.
It is somewhat common for old sink drains coming from wall to be too high. Won't know that until you start from the sinks and work down.

Thank you for responding! When you say it is on backwards what do you mean?
