I had a plumber out to rough-in a bathroom remodel. I'm now putting the drywall up and I've bumped up against a problem with the supply lines for the sink. They're pretty tight against the drain, and that combined with where they're welding to the support strap there's no way I can get the drywall flush against the studs. Is there anything I can do to hack it into the right spot, or do I just need to have them out again to do it right?

Thanks!

I like the hot or cold supplies not touching the drain.

I would move the hot a few inches to the left, then raise both hot and cold a few inches.
Move the drain to the center of the cavity.
Then secure them to straps or 2x4 blocks.
You drywall will fit easily.

Are these going into the side of the lav space, or behind it?
Normally that flat copper coated holdrite is screwed onto the studs and barely makes a difference. That does look like it's going to be difficult where it's at. I also prefer installing the stops after drywall.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, the feed into the side of the lav. It'll be a small (tiny) duravit hand wash basin mounted about a 20 inches down the other wall.

I think the stops are from the original lines, and they just re-used them. I had just unscrewed the holdrite today trying to push things around a bit. The way they laid it out the copper strip is a good 1/2 to 3/4 away from flush. If the holdrite was attached closer to the bend in the copper it'd be fine.
