Drain for a shower. P-trap at 90deg from flow direction?

[rogerius]

Appreciate any suggestion to this. I'm working to connect the drain/vent from our new shower to the rest of the system and unfortunately the joist are quite close. Looking at the picture below I planning to install the p-trap rotated at 90 deg from the direction of flow. Any potential issue later one or comments from inspector? Any other concern? Thank you.

That is why it has the 'swivel" connection between the two pieces

I realized that, but can be a potential spot to clog the pipe? Has a higher risk? Not experience, that is the reason why I ask

There is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE regardless of which way it is turned.

Your inspector will accept it, if it's glued properly and not leaking.

The p-trap could be at nearly 180-degrees and still function fine...they are designed to be able to swivel at whatever angle that is needed to make the connection. Once the waste is out of the p-trap, as long as the vent, changes of direction, and slope are done properly, it will work fine.
