Kits

A kit is a library of matching pipe pieces — straights, corners, tees, crosses, caps, and brackets — built to snap together. PipeIt picks the right piece automatically as you draw, and you can cycle through variants of any piece with a single shortcut.

PipeIt ships with three kits today, and you can mix pieces from different kits in the same scene without reloading.

Included kits

Industrial Gas

Heavy-duty plant and refinery piping: flanged junctions, valves, and thick straights. Pipe and line meshes stretch their textures cleanly across any run length, so long spans never look tiled.

• Internal id: PI_IndustrialGasPipes
• Best for: factories, refineries, industrial exteriors

Sci-Fi

Sleek paneled conduit for ships, stations, and futuristic interiors. Clean seams and crisp corners.

• Internal id: PI_SciFi_Pipes
• Best for: spaceships, sci-fi corridors, tech environments

PVC

Lightweight plastic plumbing: smooth white/grey runs with rounded fittings.

• Internal id: PI_Kit_PVC
• Best for: residential plumbing, drainage, prop set dressing

Working with kits

• Pick a kit per run. Each pipe network can use its own kit, and multiple kits can coexist in one scene.
• Cycle variants. Any piece can have several visual variants; cycle them in place and PipeIt only offers variants that actually fit the junction.
• Mix freely. Drop in pipes of any kit alongside existing runs — no reload required.

Bring your own kit

PipeIt is data-driven: kits are authored from standard Unreal static meshes with socket markers, so you can build kits that match your project’s art.

See them live

The in-browser editor ships with all three kits. Use the scene palette to drag in pipes of any kit and compare them side by side.
