    Not knowing your local codes I can't answer that, however, if the lavatory is trapped and vented this sounds like a Fernco Coupling that connects the tail of the trap to the stubout coming out of the wall. If this is the case there's nothing in my Standard Plumbing Code Book that prohibits this. If it's been working for years I can see no reason to change it outside of looks. Good luck, Tom
