Contractor installed this convoluted p-trap + elbow for the washer, and I’m not sure if it’s up to code. Can you confirm and more importantly explain why or why not it’s compliant?

    The hot and cold inlet lines also, I’ve been told always fail eventually and that you should use the metal ones instead.

    You’re probably confusing Pex for CPVC. PEX is fine (even if I have a preference for copper I have to be real here).

      It’s not the pipes I meant, but the flexible hookup hoses. They make metal ones, and I’ve been told they are more reliable then the rubber (vinyl?) ones that these appear to be.

        Oh yeah, that I agree with! I’ve had good luck with OEM rubber hoses from LG in the past, but have since replaced them with stainless steel braided hoses indeed!
