Where are you located (roughly)?
Having assisted in remodeling of 7 homes in the US (IL, WI, CA) built between 1880 and 2005 I haven't seen this.
- ficklepickle 6y agoI've heard of such a thing but never seen it. I was a satellite installer and drilled into a lot of walls. I'd just drill thru the drywall then feel around with a drill bit.
- nucleardog 6y agoI've never heard of it for plumbing, but kinda in a similar vein most electrical codes require a certain setback for all cabling running through studs and protection where it can't be maintained. If the cable is passing through a stud less than 1.25" from either face of the stud (giving you ~1.75" once drywall is installed), then a metal plate has to be installed to stop someone trying to hang a picture or shelf or something innocuous up from driving a screw into the cable.
