I have a silly little question...
I have a 1-1/2 inch vent pipe/drain pipe for a sink that runs from the upper plate to the lower plate. I cannot get access to the plates to come up/down into a stud bay. Therefore, I need to pass a 1/2 inch cold water pipe past a 1/-1/2 inch vent pipe. The wall is 2x4 and not 2x6 unfortunately.
How does one do that without having one or the other pipe way too close to either wall side? Or, do I need to place some very large steel nail guard plates at the cross over point?
Thanks.
