Hi, I've installed a new tub and now its time to mount and plumb in the new rough-in valve. The issue is that the new valve needs to be moved over 1 inch from the old valve to account for the new tubs drain location. However this lands the valve right into an existing stud. My options seem to be to remove a section of the stud and sister in a new one, or route the water line (copper) through and to the other side of the stud. When doing the latter I would also have to route the water line back to the inside of the stud to meet the existing line.
Thanks for any input and suggestions.
