fixing overnotched stud

[sal]

I have a stud that has been over-notched to allow for a plumbing pipe.

Is there any quick way to remedy this? Perhaps attaching a splice plate to the face of the stud?

The other thought would be to create a header over the compromised stud (like a door frame except encased in gypsum.)
Then I supposed we are just talking about the stability of the gypsum board at the "door frame" maybe throw a couple of horizontal studs in there.

Thoughts?

There are stud shoes for that..............Simpson...........

All of the stud shoes I have seen technically require engineering analysis, or the AHJ has to be really comfortable with them and the loads being supported...

AS LONG AS THE LOADS ARE WITHIN THE TABULATEED LOADS, PER THE REPORT.

Well, I don't have the time........nor knowledge, to do the structural calcs for these types of loads...........I do rely on ICC-ES reports..............
