re plumbing my bathroom vanity. Pex has to run across a 3 inch stack to the one sink lines. I carved a big hole in the stud to allow it to go there and faced it with a 1x4 but that puts a constant pressure on the pex holding it back at one point, then it goes outward around the stack. will that work in the long term or will the pex wear because of that pressure and leak at some point. I could remove the 1x4 face and it would simply rest against the gyproc when it was put in place. What do you guru's think is best. See picture
