I discovered during the bathroom renovation that the wall studs in my house are 65 x 45! I was going to set the studs 300 cc instead of the current 600 because I'm planning to tile. Even if I were to unexpectedly find 65 mm studs, there's still a problem since Roth wall sleeve for PEX (which I planned to use) are made for 70 mm studs.
Has anyone had similar problems?
If nothing else, is it OK to set 45 x 70 studs with the 45 side in depth, or will it result in too poor bending stiffness?
Best regards

Thanks for the cheerful encouragement. I guess I'll be going with horizontal studs.
By the way, I've been thinking about something regarding double plasterboard. Shouldn't the sheets be glued together to become "doubly" stiff? Sure, there's some friction there, but can it be enough? This wasn't really a question for the forum, just a quiet pondering. There's hardly anything to ponder on now in the middle of a bathroom renovation. ;-) I'll get back when I encounter new problems. It won't be long.

No, it becomes twice as stiff if they are just attached without interaction, and that's sufficient in this case. However, sure, if they are fully glued and can interact, it becomes significantly stiffer, but this is not needed at all in this case. It is more than sufficiently stiff with just screwed panels at c/c 600.
