    IMG_7237.JPG Ive installed a new bath, the waste pipe end of the bath is against the outside wall so the waste pipe goes straight outside.

    Due to the bath plug and overflow set i got, I cant fit a shallow trap as the overflowpipe gets in the way, so the pic show what i have set up.

    It works fine now but am wondering if it will last as last and if its worh keeping like that, or is there alternative option?

    Thanks

    it will work OK, but the flexible hose is leaking at that compression joint

    Can you rotate the overflow part so it is facing toward you i.e 90 degrees or just out the way for bath trap. May block easily as trap is is turned creating more resistance.

    Then fit a standard bath trap and 2x135bends to create offset.
