Add a pocket door in wall behind shower head and plumbing

Hello,

So the plumbing waterlines and diverter will be mostly behind the shower wall only around 4-6". Problem being is where the plumbing stack would be behind the wall it may be more to the hallway wall to go up and outside. Only way to know is to cut a hole to find out. It could be moved. The hallway wall needs to be re framed for the pocket door.

Thanks,

Casey,

It may be possible however you'll require adequate clearance inside the wall to accommodate the door plus the framing. The unknown is also the vent stack that may be inside that area of the wall as well. The only way to know s\for sure is to open up an area of the wall and look for clearance and obstacles.

Regards,

Mark

This pocket door possibly could be done without problem in reference with the wall width, you just want to have to investigate first in case any stack go in this specific wall.

Thank you all for your replies and tips.

I actually know that the plumbing stack that goes to the roof for this bathroom does not go through this wall, its in the back corner wall. (I've had previous plumbing problems that caused me to open up some walls.)
