Hi had a guy come fit a new shower for me and he had taken the compression nut off the shower waste and solvent welded the end of a flexi hose connector directly to the waste outlet will this be ok?

He didn't put an adapter on just straight in
 
Depends on the plastic on both items but if it’s designed for a compression nut I would say no
