Ross- A tee on its back is not a proper drainage fitting. They don't "flow". A wye branch would be proper. If you look at the first photo in the series I posted you'll see two tees on their backs connecting the vertical pipes to the horizontal pipes. This can cause a stoppage at that spot. And p-traps are not for catching your wife's ear-rings. A p-trap is a water weir, creating a seal which keeps noxious sewer gasses from coming up the pipe into the living space. Every drainage fixture should have a trap. Mark
