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?

Again with the hose clamps. I’ve never seen a real plumber connect things with hose clamps.
It’s totally normal to use hose clamps in this situation. This a PVC to Cast Iron connection. That’s the only way to do it.
The small clean-out is kinda fucking dumb though. And the big hose clamp looks like it’s installed wrong. Can’t possibly be tight enough and be at an angle like that.
I stand corrected. I checked where my plumber had connected pvc to the iron stack, and it does use hose clamps but as part of something a little more convincing. It’s basically a sleeve with 4 hose clamps mounted on it.
Me neither. Good catch. Hose clamps are best on hoses.
