Moving pipe into wall

[Attackcammel]

so we moved into a new house and I started renovating the 2 car attached garage. Insulation new outlets every 4' around the whole garage 9 4' t8 fixtures on the ceiling and 3 50 amp 220 lines in the three walls. But right where I want to put the work bench there is a 3/4" hot water pipe running up the wall on the outside of where the Sheetrock will go. The top plate of the wall is sitting directly under the floor joists from the floor above and I can't figure out the best way to get this pipe into the wall and through the top plate and ceiling joist. Here is a few pictures if anyone has any ideas please help me out. I'll try and get you guys a few pictures of the whole shop a little later.

From the picture, it looks like there is a corner near by. I would cut the pipe close to the floor, and put a 90 on the pipe. Run it to the corner of the wall, and then up the corner and back to its origin pipe. In the corner, it will not present that much of a problem, and you are only loosing about an inch of wall space. The other choice would be to run it into the wall, and then using 2 45 degree street ells (elbows), bring it back out of the wall and back into the pipe. Either way will give you what you are looking for with a minimal amount of effort.

drill a 2" hole thru your top plat. drill a 1-1/2"hole thru the upper half of your joist in line with the hole in the plate. solder a 90 onto a pc of pipe a few feet long, solder a 3" pc onto the 90 and feed it thru the plate & joist. then attach to the other pcs.
several ways of skinning the cat, just one option.

or. use apc of pex .
if soldering be careful of fire of course !

Where are you located?
There could be a good reason not to put that pipe in the exterior wall depending on what your weather is like.

Ayuh,.... With the insulation wrap on the pipe, I'm bettin' it's frozen before,....

If so,... Don't put it closer to the cold,...

It's actually an interior wall on the other side of that wall is the stairs to go from the first floor to the second by the front door How tight of a bend can I make with pex would that be a problem just drilling 2 holes and fishing it through? I just have to make sure there isn't anything else on the other side of the joist

If that's an interior wall I'd use a couple of 45s to roll it into the wall then doll up the sheet rock around it.
Make sense?

If its an interior wall, then you can put it behind the drywall. I would also look at the source of air movement that causes the insulation to get dirty and seal that up. The black portions of the insulation have air flowing through it and could become a source of mold.
