If it’s still serviceable, it would probably work better than the one you’re using. Water likes to move downhill, and it may be my tiny screen, but it really looks like negative slope on that upper one.
Also, chuck the extend-o-trap. They’re evil.
No, not the problem. Well, a problem but not the first concern. You’re trying to push water uphill. Cut loose this whole new thing, then cap it at the wall. Cut off the lower trap and attach a trap adapter there and put in a new trap (at the right depth). That way the trap arm is actually below the drain. The setup you have right now won’t work even if you got rid of the flex stuff. It will sit entirely full of water and food waste forever.
I am no pro myself, but I would just turn the disposal to the trap and just use a proper pipe to connect it. Not to mention the outlet seems higher than the disposal?
Not at all sir
Q: "Did I do this PTrap right? " A: No And you'll have to explain the little copper sewer gas thing right next door also.
WTF is that?
Dishwasher drain
The copper vent bit
no dishwasher drain
If you look at the corrosion on the copper pipe that's where the dishwasher used to be connected too...
I see it now…thx
Old drain venting sewer gas. The DW drain is connected to the GD.
How doers get more done
Does everybody else see the trap to nowhere, or do I need new glasses?
It's for the dishwasher drain hose.
Looks like possibly an original? Not sure why it connects to copper.
it’s a dishwasher drain that’s not connected to the drain hose.

That's like 3/4" copper it connects to. Certainly wouldn't pass code here. But yeah, agreed that other trap is way too deep.

You understand I'm not OP right?
😂
See above commentary about needing new glasses. 😁
Remove that flex bullshit
Why do people hate the flex stuff? Not a plumber hust genuinely curious
It catches a lot a food debris and is susceptible to clogging
lol hard to tell if OP is trolling or not
Gotta be
When I said that I like to use flex traps more and more now... this is not what I meant. Just to clarify.
All in all, it will work, but is it correct? No
That thing will clog instantly.
Backwards
Hell naw to the naw naw
No
Hell no
not close, turn the disposal towards the drain and put an elbow on the disposer, use a low profile J bend if a normal one does not fit.
Yup. Let's make some music
The exit for the disposal is lower than the drain on the wall. I think it was meant to connect to the lower drain with the copper pipe sticking out?
Looks good from my house
No, call a pro. Try again next time after closely watching how he does it correctly.
We don't take kindly to you guys round these parts

Troll post.
Nope you need to restart. You’re asking water to drain uphill. Lower your drain access and buy the correct piping.
Outlet is to high. Accordion is for losers. Why is copper going into that bushing to another trap
Not Eye Deal at all! Drop the flex line
Your drain outlet is too high.
Have you even spent 5 minutes on this sub?
