Plumbing – installing a copper pipe on exterior wall (but inside the house)

plumbing

I want to add a pot filler. The Stove on the exterior wall of the kitchen.The wall is (from the outside in): Brick, Styrofoam insulation, 1/2" drywall, 1/2" plaster (yes plaster/drywall mud or something).

So, My thought was to:

  • (along the stud) remove the plaster
  • drywall and possibility some the insulation
  • install the pipe
  • secure to stud
  • spray form insulation?
  • fill hole
  • new install of backsplash for oven area.

Thoughts? I live in Canada so first obvious concern is the freezing of the pipes thing. Especially since a new tiled backsplash will go over on top.

Thanks

It might be easier to install a counter mounted pot filler next to the stove. That way you can run the pipe straight down through the floor, avoiding any work on the wall behind the stove.
