Yes you can... but I wouldn't. In areas where there is a chance of freezing, (I live where the temps can get below freezing for up to a month at a time)it is against better judgment to put any pipe outside of the thermal envelope. In areas where Freezing is of no concern, pipes can be placed in any wall. There are Precautions that can be taken when working in freeze zones, such as heat tape, thermal wrap, etc. but I would stick to bringing the pipes through the floor and into the botom of the sink cabinet. this is the most common route in freeze zones, keeping the pipes within the thermal envelope. Hope this helps. Terry

This depends on where you are.

Where I live this is against the building code

Other places that don't get to 35 below may allow this.

Check local codes is correctWhen installing lines on the outside subject to freezing it is a great idea to pitch the lines slightly to allow for total drain down during the colder months and have an isolation valve with a bleeder on the valve located inside the structure

How far in should water pipes be insulated on exterior walls?

If the area you live in is prone to freezing conditions, then you should not have pipes on exterior walls, they could easily freeze. First thing to do is to get them relocated, if that's not possible, make sure the wall itself is insulated, no drafts, no air coming in from outside, fill in holes, then run insulation the length of the pipe. if the pipe is coming straight through the exterior wall out into the room, best to wrap it minimum 4 feet from the wall.
