Bathroom Tee Junction wrong way around ?

[telsin]

Hi Guys, new to the forum and looking for a bit of advice.

Ive been refitting my bathroom suite and noticed that the Tee junction under the sink has been fitted the wrong way around (if that makes sense) the direction goes towards the bath rather than the soil pipe, could this cause a problem

Thanks in advance

Do we take it that it's been glued on and that you can't reverse it?

Wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Yes glued, I was thinking that it could overflow up into the sink

water cant go up a hill

Luckily, gravity pulls things towards the centre of the earth

 

[telsin]

very true however it does rise above the tee junction approx an inch

 

[glasgowgas]

do you have clear see through pipe?

or do you use coloured bath water?

Honestly, don't worry about it. Worse thing that may happen is that it gets gunged up a bit now and again more often that usual, which case it can be shifted easily enough with an appropriate chemical.

If you're paranoid about it, cut the pipes either side and reconfigure using a couple of straight joints.

might work tho

Cheers all, and no i have regular white pipes but i can see the water lever rising because the sink is not connected yet.

Chances are that it would rise anyway even if fitted facing the other way.
