Problem framing interior wall, radiator pipe in the way.

[Backlund89]

Recently moved into a house that we are currently renting, hopefully, we'll subdivide the property and buy it in the future.

Now the plan is to frame up an interior wall so that the oldest child can have their own room. The interior wall will be exactly where the current radiator pipes are connected, there used to be a wall there before. Cannot make any alterations to the floor, and apparently, the pipes won't be moved as initially planned. Does anyone have a smooth solution to the problem? Want to ensure stability for the sill and at the same time have the ability to attach the drywall securely.

So you won't be able to secure the wall to the floor or the wall. That doesn't feel great if you ask me. Place the wall next to the radiator pipes. Sometimes it's better to be practical than an engineer.

Ended up screwing the roof beam and the other side of the wall securely, then I cut the vertical studs a few mm longer and got a solid pressure between the sill and the roof beam.
The sill is pressed against the walls and screwed into both walls and all studs.
Does anyone have experience with how the parquet floor will react? Aware that the floor should be allowed to move.
Regarding the radiator pipes, I will gypsum them in, about 60mm towards the outer wall which will not be screwed or supported by any stud work.

The wall looks okay, but I don't like the combination of ungrounded non-child-safe (?) electrical outlets right next to shiny (unpainted) heating pipes.

Now you managed to fix it but there are ways to avoid causing any damage:
