probably a stupid switch location question

[skipdup]

Can I put a switch on the opposite side of the same stud a panel is hung? Or should I move it over in the cavity to the next stud?

And do water lines in the same stud cavity matter?

Thanks,
Skip

Yes. If it makes you feel better. No.

If you want to put the switch there add a scrap 2 X 4 first to space it away from the panel a little for wall plate clearance, and so you won't have to put such a tiny strip of drywall there.

Kind of an obvious answer, now that you point it out.
Thanks!!
