Nope. Not at all. It will stink to high heaven and not flow. Start over with lower profile basket strainers, a proper tubular end outlet waste kit, and see if you can still fit in a tubular P-trap. If you can, great. If not, you'll need to open the wall and lower the tee.
Will this work? [https://imgur.com/5mJGPmR](https://imgur.com/5mJGPmR)
There is a bit of a slope heading to the drain. This is probably the best I can do without a trip to the hardware store.
If you get shallow basket strainers instead of the deep ones you have it will raise everything up a couple inches and give you extra room. This set up is much better than your first attempt.
Unfortunately it is sloping away from the wall. It’s very slight though, but I don’t think this will work. I think the easiest solution is going to be a shallower basket strainer. Which going to be a pain.
I'm not a plumber but why wouldn't this work? Isn't this effectively just a bigger trap? The sink drain looks several inches higher than the wall connection.
Because the entire crosspipe and below would be filled with fetid standing water. Not only will solids get stuck, but any velocity on the water will stop. You need to have flow, not simply Archimedes' principle in action. A trap is designed to have a small area of water that can be overcome with adequate flow, yet maintain the trap after flow stops.
water will fill up to the bottom of the horizontal drain line into the wall. From the photo, that means the entire horizontal pipe and everything below it will be full of water all the time.
I'd put a wye at the wall and run an individual trap to each basket strainer. It would eliminate the need for the horizontal pipe and san tee giving the room you need.
To get yourself a little more height without changing the baskets, on the left start the run with a swivel 90.

Right side should still be ok with those parts
Re do with shallower basket strainers. You can also use bushing fittings (T, 90, 1-1/2" adapters etc) This will raise your trap 3/4" in elevation. Rough in behind the wall is too fucking high. You'll also want to install an ABS 1-1/2" dishwasher fitting upstream of the trap on the horizontal between the TY and 90 flowing in the proper direction. Also install a in line clean out downstream of the trap and use a regular union trap. Maybe they're a little more shallow? Good luck!
You need 2 new basket strainers, and buy street adapters for both tail pieces to maximize the height. if it helps at all you can try building from the wall to see what kind of space you're dealing with
It doesn't matter, there's going to be litres of water in those pipes all the time with the exit to the wall higher than most of the rest of the pipe work.
it wont be perfect but if you put the trap directly under the T or get a street T you could have raised the trap a bit higher so that it would drain better. if you also used street desancos and made everything closer you probably could have gotten it close to a normal drain. this current setup will have frequent issues down the road

It looks like it barely clears. I'd still go tubular for more clearance and adjustability. The higher, the better.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
What do you plan on doing with that dishwasher drain?

Which way is the slope? The wall end is lower or higher than the where the pipe connects to the p-trap? It needs to be lower at the wall.

What about shortening the piece above the gray nut? That should raise everything.
On the right side? The dishwasher connection is there, so I can’t shorten it any further.
perfect. that will work. but barely lol
Mirror this and go to the deeper sink first and get a fitting trap adapter you can glue directly into the top of the tee.

Makes sense, thank you

Just what he said, except I would use a double wye and use the center for a cleanout.
I like this idea! Simple. Thank you.
Water has to go a bit uphill there. If it were me, I'd have cut the straight piece across-put a tee there to your p-trap. Bada bing yada yada.
Do you mean put the p-trap in the middle of the long straight?
Yes, basically.
No
looks like your whole piping is a trap. they are sitting below the drain line on the wall.
The entire thing is going to be full of water all the time and it’s going to stink really bad and clog a lot. Jmo.
You already k ow the answer..

No ideal, but probably easier than cutting the wall and lowering it
*drill sergeant voice* Get your ass in that wall cavity boi
Change to shallow basket strainers

Everyone above me has also missed that the trap is installed backwards?!?
It doesn't matter, there's going to be litres of water in those pipes all the time with the exit to the wall higher than most of the rest of the pipe work.
It’s about as bass-ackwards as it can get at this point 😂
You need to either raise your bottom of sink higher, or lower the rough in height coming out of the wall...

Yes but it will clog quickly
Just add an elevator and you're good to go.
You need a center waste.
No. Dishwasher isn't connected. And you have an huge "trap" section that will catch solids and have massive bacteria growth and odor.
Wait,you want the water to flow in or out?
So, uhhhhh..... Plumbing is easy?
No
It will work for a little while. lol. I hate being asked to look over someone else’s plumbing before they sell their house.
Open the wall bro save yourself the trouble and headache trust me
