copper pipe minimum depth in wall?
Howdy all,
Is there a minimum depth that copper pipe must be installed within walls? In other words, minimum clearance between the pipe and the drywall?
I know there is for electrical lines, so somebody hanging a picture doesn't drive the nail in and electrocute themselves.
I have an installation situation where it'll be very easy for me to install the pipe about 1/2" deep from the drywall.. or, alternatively, about 50 times harder for me to get it to the other side of the existing pipes, making the depth about 2" (in a 2x6 framed wall).
Thanks for the advice! I'll wait to hear before I solder them in.
