Hi. I've been sweating copper pipes for many years now with good success. Usually when I'm in a tight space such as near a stud and/or drywall I can just use a fireproof cloth to protect the wood and get the job done. Now for the first time I'd like to pipe between one wall and another with a 90 degree bend..
In my application I have a thermostatic valve with two independent volume control functions on one wall and a third function on the adjacent wall. I know I could route the pipe down to the crawl space beneath the house and then back up again at the other wall but I'd sure like to just pipe the 15" around the corner to the adjacent wall. Anybody done this before? What is the best method? Since this is a custom shower I plan on using 3/4" type L copper pipe to maintain flow rate. If necessary I could go down to the standard 1/2" but would like to avoid that. Studs are standard 2x4s that are doubled up where one wall butts against the other.
