I'm in the process of adding a new bathroom to my house. I had a plumber rough in some connections for us, and then we are in the process of finishing it off. We used plastic accordion pipe to connect the P-trap to the sink, but during our county inspection they failed us saying that the accordion was something we could use because its a known area that hair gets caught in. The drain from the sink is brass as is the P-trap. We can't S-trap trap because they are not allowed per code either. Does anyone know what we can do?

I can't see the drain exit from that photo, but I recently resolved this exact issue at my home by installing a slight bend in the horizontal run from the wall (with a 22-1/2 or 30 degree ell), which offsets the connection to the trap. This allows standard trap components to be used.
